Shane Mosley Vs. Andre Berto Is On | TheSweetScience.com Boxing

Holy crap I hope this is true. This is nice matchup.

[Pugilistic]

Berto should win.

Mosley is past it.

[p4pking]

I'm drunk, but is MOsley a G or what? He is really a monster for any weight. Just strait takes whatever fight is out therte.z You couldn't give one example in his entire career where could have evber posssibly not taken the tougherst fight hr could.

[Plopeater]

A good fight

Whilst mosley is past his best this will still really test how good Berto is at this stage of his career

LETS GET IN ON

[kingfrnk]

this should be a good test for Berto. i hope he can pass it Mosley is no push over no matter if hes past it or not. but Berto should win.

[Formerly D@vid Leeder]

COME ON, SHANE!!!!

I know it's a lot to ask, but if he could go out on a win, it'd be fantastic. Sadly I know he's past it and the Mayorga fight should signficant deterioration in his game up until the KO, but it would be so nice if he could take it. He'll probably lobby for a Margarito fight after that and get mashed though.

Yes i agree with Plop , and i think Mosley has a chance

[Mr140]

Margrito is not wrong for Mosley the ones that were wrong were Forrest ad Winkey but it was there jab and boxing ability somthing Margrito does not have i pick the Mosley that beat Oscar over Margrito not sure now and i like his chance at Berto even though i like Berto Mosely i like alot more then Berto so i be rooting for Mosley hope he wins this fight. As for your comment on boxer Roy was no better a boxers with out his speed and reflexs he is nothing so i dont know why he was not on the list.

Except that time he couldn't fight PBF because he had a toothache or whatever it was. Then as soon as Floyd had the bigger name and became a PPV cash machine, Mosley starts calling him out and his fans in the press start claiming that Mayweather was ducking him.

Still, it's a great matchup. Mosley UD. I don't know what it is about Berto -- he just doesn't look like an elite fighter.

I'd agree with that - but he does look like he has the potential to be an elite. I think that's what has a lot of people looking twice at him, myself included. I still think he should have been brought along a little more slowly, but he's on the stage now. Throw him in the deep end, and let's see if he can swim!

I like Berto's chances, and I think this is a great matchup for him, win, lose, or draw. He'll learn a lot in the ring with SSM.

More slowly he's 25/26 now. Berto needs to step it up, Mayweather was like 21-22 when he won his first title, Oscar was young, Roy was younger, etc, etc. Berto to reach his potential needs to start fighting legit opponents STAT.

This is the fight i wanted after i saw Berto vs Forbes i think Mosely will KO Berto.

[bcollins]

Shane may have faded some with age, but this is still an entertaining matchup. I think Berto will have to step it up a notch, even with Mosley 3.0.

This is the fight i wanted after i saw Berto vs Forbes i think Mosely will KO Berto.

KO? Man, I can see Mosley winning, but by KO? What elite or even semi-elite fighter has he knocked out in the last 5+ years? Berto is faster, bigger and has shown he can dig down deep when necessary. I think Berto wins by decision and Mosley takes some shots that might have kayoed other guys. I think Mosley has one of the best chins in boxing.

[JT Rock]

My favorite young fighter vs one of my favorite legends.. Berto wins this though I been saying this kid has the goods and gets better every fight, Mosely is going to be there till the end just like the Cotto fight.
