Is Andre Berto the luckiest fighter in Boxing?

[FinitoxDinamita]

This guy has made millions off potential and connection rather than accomplishment.

How did he get so lucky?

[BLASTER1]

By being someone thats competitive but beatable.

by taking it as they come! i dont think berto is a hard guy to negotiate with. so whatever he's offered, he's taking it! and that's what other fighters should be doing!!

mofos like broner should be taking notes instead of trying to price himself out thinking he's worth more than what he's being offered.

the **** you talking about, andre berto had a very good career and was a good fighter. he aws in the fight of hte year in 2011 FFS. were you asleep?!
and the following year he was in another absolute classic with robert guerrero.

there's nothing wrong with not being an all time great. berto 100% had the talent and the background to be a world champion [in an era with four titles at 147,] and get on TV. i'm happy for him, he was smart with his money and he's rich now.


boxing took a ton out of that guy. he had a long, hard career. i don't respect or take you seriously if you don't get that. frankly i don't think you were even watching boxing at the time. he's even starting to sound a little punchy.

By being someone thats competitive but beatable.

Also by becoming a gatekeeper. Someone who is known but is beatable and can make an action packed fight.

I realize it was reasonable to hate Andre Berto way back when he turned down 2 million to fight Cotto because he was already making 1 million to fight Freddy Hernandez, but Andre Berto has been one of the most entertaining fighters of his generation and, outside of Mayweather, when the hell has he ever been in a boring fight??

[King Arthur]

This threads reminiscent of the bertos a beast thread. I laughed at that one.

Think that it was on a legendary moments of BoxingScene thread it was before my time on here but well worth a read.

He could fight reasonably well in the early days and won a world title. How he kept getting big fights after so many beatings I don't know. I guess because everybody knows who he is. He is a big name fighter if no longer a very good one.

Andre berto is one of the nice guys in boxing, he worked his ass off and is down to earth, i dont know anyone who hates him.

[QuickKO]

he had rick ross and chris brown and tyga cheering for him at his fights every time berto would land a punch ross would stand up and straighten his jacket and pretend to leave the arena
