Collazo vs. Berto

I think Collazo might be to crafty for Berto right now

I think people are under estimating Berto, I mean Cotto went through much deeper waters against Ricardo Torres and Demarcus Corley before he even started touching guys like Collazo, but now he is on top of the world, I think Berto is bound to be a top 5 p4p in the next few years, and is definitely the hardest hitting legitimate prosect, not to mention he pretty fast to. So basically what I am saying is that I feel that Collazo can't hurt Berto, I don't think he can keep up with Berto pace wise, and he would be the perfect measuring stick because nobody has given Berto even a close fight.

The more I think on it I like this one but Berto has faced nothing close to a Corley or Torres at there respected points Vs.Cotto.He Has shown Improvment with handspeed and some accuracy but is jumping into the deep end without going through some top tier acid test's, respect to Perinial Rivera and Tough Estrada. Southpaw solid mover and hitter like Collazo whole nother level when in top form.

Corley wasn't anything by the time Cotto fought him, and he continues to be punching bag judging by what Devon did to him. I think Collazo is a fine stepping stone for Berto because he has no punching power. He was overwhelmed by Mosley, and Berto would do the same thing. I am not saying Collazo isn't a good proffesional, I am just saying that Berto doesn't have a whole lot of stepping stones left between him and guys like Collazo, Judah, etc.

i think almost anyone would look shot or bad if they have an injury and cant perform 100%. if this fight were to take place and both fighters were in tip top shape i would have to say Collazo will win this and probably by a UD. if he is hurt or gets hurt during the fight maybe Bertos activity level will win him the mayority of the rounds. i guess what im saying is it all depends on Collazo at this point. Maybe next year or two i might be singing a diferent song but for now Collazo wins.
