People maybe don't remember, but MAyweather was 21 when he won his first belt, he already won both the superfeatherweight and lightweight belts by the time he was Berto's age. It seems most of the really hyped prospects (Toney was in his early 20's), Duran, Leonard, Hearns, De La Hoya, Whitaker, M. Taylor, M. Nunn, Benitez, Ali, Robinson, Roy Jones Jr, etc. I think 25 should be the oldest a guy should win his first belt, so I hope Dibella grows some balls and puts Berto in there with only legit competition from here on in(I think Collazo is a good start, but that fight hasn't even been signed yet to the best of my knowledge). Andre Berto is the complete package (power, speed, stamina, defensive ability, toughness, sharp, excellent technique). The only time he has gone down was a flash knockdown from which he recovered immediately, and he didn't see that punch coming, and he was coming forward dominating the fight and got caught with one punch. I don't think he has any chin problems, but we will see.
