    I just went through Bertos resume. Are Juan Urango and Luis Collazo his best wins?

    Juan Urango, Luis Collazo

    Carlos Quintana, Josesito Lopez, Jan Zaveck, Victor Ortiz

    Cosme Rivera, Freddy Hernandez, Steve Forbes

          I'm leaning towards Porter, but it's those shortcomings of his in his biggest fights that still has me doubting myself. Berto I think has shown, whether in victory or defeat, that he'll go out on his shield and continue to fight.

          I like Porter, today, only because he hasn't been in all those wars, he's a bit younger. I like Berto because of his game-changing power when he lands clean. Like the first fella said though, he hasn't looked great and shown his flaws. I'll see. I might decide after a couple beers
          Berto is entirely shot, it's just sad that Porter as one of the top new welters still isnt good neough to inspire complete trust. He is too basic and carries almost no meaningful power.

          That's the problem. Porter just isnt that good, not that Berto has anything left. Quite sad we havent seen a new welter ripping through guys like berto.

            Ricky Burns unification should have been part of the pick em. This fight my minds telling me Porter but I like Berto.

              Very late because I don't really care for this matchup.
              Where A.K. at? Somebody hit him up.

                As limited as Porter is, honestly this fight is a foregone conclusion

                I do find it funny that people are debating who's going to win this fight

                  I'm picking porter but you'll be ****** to think he is levels above a shot porter.
