I would love to see a Clottey/Berto fight. Berto will finally get that chin tested. He didn't take it too well when Cosme Rivera touched that chin and I don't think he'd like what Clottey puts on him. Wishful thinking probably; I just want Berto gone he's a bore.
And is Williams going to make 147 any more? I'd still pick Williams to win; especialy if it went to the cards. Clottey cant get him out of there he'll get frustrated and put the brakes on as usual.
I don't think Clottey is the guy to test your chin, Cintron would be, but not CLottey. I think Clottey doesn't have a lot of power, but he will definitely test Berto's ability to fight properly for 12 rounds. If he gets sloppy against Clottey I think like against Collazo he will picked apart, but I could also see him doing better than Cotto against Clottey because of his speed and superior ability to move.
Williams is all wrong for Clottey. He simply throws too many punches.
I would pick Clottey to beat Berto though and i give him a chance against Mosley.

But I agree; if he gets sloppy, which he has a propensity to do, Clottey could pick him apart and possibly stop him. If Berto does what he is good at he can frustrate the hell out of Clottey and Clottey will just stop fighting in the late rounds.
This is the fight I have been wanting to see Berto get. He beats Clottey I won't talk any more shat about him lol.
clottey/quintana/collazo/urango/cintron
all strong opposition for the likes of berto/mosley/cotto etc. Out of the 5 joshua is definitely the strongest and would give anyone at this level a tough outing!
Why is Cintron even in the discussion? Is he moving back down to ww again? Can't someone just finish the job on him aready?
If Berto fought Cintron, like Tooth said, he is a dangerous opponent with that power. Berto definately will need to tighten up that defense; but if he can do that and punch Cintwrong a few times, Kermit will start crying and sit down and quit. I'd hate to see Berto lose to that clown though.

but as we`ve often seen theres a huge gap as you jump up weight classes and you have to completely re-adapt your approach to a fight.
Cintron could well take berto at 147 and above!
to be honest i think all those three will beat clottey if they fight. the only one i give him a chance against is Berto. but i would still favor Berto.
Clottey just needs to get back into the picture quickly, so fight Berto.
On the Grind boxing radio on sunday had Andre Berto's promoter Lou Dibella. He said Berto would not fight Clottey as he is just coming of a loss and so there is no gain in fighting him
ha ha ;D very convenient excuse...Quote:
