He should win it, but I don't see him beating any of the other big boys in the division. He would be in over his head IMO.

If he does in fact win, which I believe he will. He would be put in a dangerous position everyone at 147 would be targetting him.

I brought it up last week, before the Wbc decided what they were gonna do it was gonna be an eliminator or a vacant title fight.... Now we have confirmation...

I am a huge Berto fan, hopefully he thrives with this opportunity

Berto is a call guy. I met him at Pechanga Casino right after beat the shit out of that German dude. ;D He smiles at everybody and we fist pound before he sat 2 rows behind me. That was cool. He's a very down to earth person.

I hope he wins his next fight.

I just don't know what he has done to deserve a Championship fight at this point.Guess that is a pretty common question though.Solid prospect Berto but will run into some huge problems in the top tier.Somewhere Clottey is Cussing Arum "where is my shot"? Lol

Berto has good handspeed good power and a decent jab, but he is too wild at times, and neglects going to the body plus he is far too leaky defense wise. And unlike Cotto he isn't really improving, forgetting the title holders at 147 im not even sure if he could beat fighters like Cintron, Clottley etc.

Isn't the old saying that when you win the title you automatically become 25 percent better fighter ?? i hope that happens to Berto he is raw but he has a lot of talent and he can improve, but sadly i haven't seen any real improvements but hopefully he does improve soon. I think Berto could be a force at 154 though.

Cotto or Margo would bully Berto in the ring. Imo, Andre Berto is the Juan Diaz version of welterweight. Right now, I don't think he can handle pressure from any elite fighter.

Don't really see the comparison between Diaz and Berto, Diaz is a swarmer because he has to be based on his physical disadvantages plus Diaz is a pretty weak puncher unlike Berto, there two completely different fighters, and Diaz lost to Campbell based on Campbell's slickness and counter punching skill.

Re: Berto to be champ soon ???

Not sold on Berto just yet. Would like to see him v more solid contenders first. I have questions about his chin,based on some research and reading I've done about him. Not sure if it's correct,only time will tell. He's fast and has power,no doubt,but something about him doesn't click with me.Can't explain it. Hope he does well and gives us exciting fights.

I know what your saying Gamo, I remember hearing that his chin had let him down before in the amateurs. Theres no doubt for me that he wins this fight. He has a very pleasing style to watch but against the top guys he'll be found wanting. He can improve but winning this fight may put him in the fast lane to the elite guys when he should still be developing.

One last thing, winning this fight will only make Berto a belt holder not a champion
