true but i dont see marg hitting berto with many shoots also marg doesnt really have one punch knock out power he wares his opp down with punishing shoots but i havnt seen him really drop anyone with one super big punch
You dont need to be, the kid takes care of business 100000%Quote:

Love watching Berto fight he often reminds me of a young Azumah Nelson.
Mmmmm... time will tell... I mean, good for him... Whatever.
all im saying is margo is slow and put him in the ring with some one with great speed and hes gonna have alot of work infromt of him clottey was beating marg until his hand got hurt
Berto can win shane. not margarito

Cotto boxed brilliantly in the early goings of the fight. Some of the best boxing in his career.
yes cotto out boxed him but cotto is an ok boxer with a weak chin and not much stamina plus cotto puts his head in the middle of his gloves exsposing him for upper cuts if mago would have let more upper cuts go he would have put cotto down in the 8th or 9th burto is quick on his feet quick hands and upper body move ment very hard to hit a guy like that plus his jab is great he wont have to keep him off him stick and move and its on the bag

Yes, something like this can be fixed but my point is that it hasn't been yet. Berto is the MUCH more hitable guy and when you said "Stick and move and it's in the bag"... I'm sure Cotto thought the same thing.
so let me guess your one of those guys who thinks cotto is fast because he beat a old mosley. cotto is slow he had more of a chance if he would have leaned against the ropes in the early rounds blocked and counter punched he wouldn't have be waisting alot of energy and with as many punches as margo was letting off he would have been the one to get tired cotto quicker then margo yes so since his deffence is so great it sould have been a cake walk. and i didnt say bertos de was better but he has way faster head move ment then cotto and hand speed and foot work with means its even faster then margo hints cotto being faster then margo
Berto is a fine work in progress and exciting to watch but Has done great against grade b & c fighters,Mosley & Margaritio are in an entirely different leauge of level of Comp and experience.I need to see a fighter get tested with solid top notch adversity before I crown him the next super man.I think right now Margarito would ask him questions in there that he would have no answer for and do some serious damage to still green Berto.Mosley still has enough to take him into deep waters as well.
No doubt - Berto should try his hand at someone like Quintana, Judah, or Collazo before getting in with the sharks.Quote:
