Berto has fast hands and is technically sound but he's not on the same level as Mayweather defensively nor does he have Mayweather's punch resistance or ring smarts.
Mosley would take Berto out if he caught him with the shots he caught Floyd with and through 12 rounds, theres no way Berto can not get hit by Shane.
Mosley by TKO.
I'd still pick Mosley cuz I still question Berto's chin.
Mosley still beats Berto in my opinion. Berto is definetly no Mayweather when it comes to defence.
Mosley struggled against Mayweather because he was looking for openings that where not there after the 2nd round, openings that he will find no problem on Berto. Yes Berto has good handspeed but he leaves his chin out to often and if Mosley lands that right hand like he did on Mayweather then Berto his hitting the canvas. It was a master class by Mayweather but I still feel inactivity and over training was also a factor in Mosleys defeat.
OK was just wondering how opinion would be swayed. If Mosley can recover and fight Berto later this year after a break, he beats him imo. Berto just has no polish. I like him as a fighter but he's to raw, fights in spurts and really his whole gameplan is just like a running back rushing down the middle. There's no cleverness to it and that's why he's been so hittable. Mosley would have him in trouble still so would Cotto.
I say Berto. Solely because of youth. Both guys have speed and power, but both fighters have a porous defense. Berto hasn't taken anywhere near as much punishment as Mosley. I saw Berto takes this on heart.
