Thread: Berto looked good...but which Welterweight Champ would you put him in with?

Kermit
Williams
Cotto or
Floyd?

I'd say maybe Kermit? I still havn't seen the guy fight so it's unfair to call him the weakest champ..but i'm just thinking style and experience-wise. Cotto vs Berto would be an awesome match as well if last nights match is anything to go by! Their style's would gel nicely.

After tonights fight, Berto is not ready for someone like Cotto but it would still be an interesting fight.
Cintron would be a nice test. Williams, Floyd and Cotto would all beat Berto in their own special ways.

Was exactly my thought process..those styles may pose problems for Berto. Of course he doesn't have the experience yet for Cotto..a few matches down the line though and that would be such a mouth-watering fight
Anyway fuck off stop posting on my topic, I hate your shitty sig its gay!

I think that Berto needs one more big test before fighting for a world title. Clottey, Hopkins or Collazo would be great tests and I'd expect him to overcome all three although Clottey would be the hardest test (IMO)

i think he could KTFO cintron...


anyone else tho would fuck him up

Personally i dont see it with berto hes average

I have to agree with you,although he's better than average,I just don't see it. Nice jab,patient,good body shots but I just think the elite at 147 are a level above. BTW,he'll most likely be fighting Quintana who won on the Pavlik undercard,in an untelevised bout. That's what I've heard.

Me too.I think Kermit would KO him BUT it would be closer than any other fights featuring Berto v the elite.

It's just being in the Welterweight division doesn't help his cause..Such a deep division. I thought he had nice crisp, accurate punches..the only problem I saw was his defensive lapses at times. Estrada sometimes tagged him too easily. Hey he's still learning..most people are called hype before they are put in there against stiffer tests. Look at Pavlik, he's now the undisputed Middleweight champion of the world. Give Berto time, he's still only 24.

He would lose to them all at the moment no doubt in my mind.

A fight with Joel Julio looks good, apart from Cintron looks a good opponent. I have heard he may fight Henry Crawford soon though.

A fight with any of those guys would be good bouts, but at the moment he would lose them all. Berto needs more performances like the one with Estrada against fighters like the Quintana's, Julio's, and maybe even the Judah's before he steps up against any champion at 147.

Your sadly mistaken about Cintron, my friend. Secretly, I'm hoping they make a Cintron-Judah match, so someone can retire ol' Zab for good.

None YET it's one thing to beat fighters at D & C class level and it's another to beat World Champs.
I think Berto still has some road to cover before he steps up to World Class. The last thing you want is for him to get sparked out and cut his career short. The kids got talent but they need to manage his career accordingly.
