So although I was irritated about the cancelation of the Mosley fight for my own selfish reasons I can see why it happened. I have two Haitian friends who were directly affected by the disaster. My friend Anie's mother was there when it happened. My friend Pierre's two cousins died in the quake. So all selfishness aside I understand.
I also think that Berto dodged a bullet. I know he was confident and would have come to fight but I think Mosley's veteran smarts would have caught up to the young champion. Berto hung on by a thread agains the best fighter he ever faced which was Luis Callazo(abeit, Callazo is a very good fighter)... But Callazo is no Mosley... Nor is Urango(slow as hell)... Stevie Forbes(a perenial sparring partner) or Rodriguez(a joke of a title challenger who cared more about his hair than anything)...
Berto has the tools but he's not mastered them yet... Natural tallent will only take you so far...
Who's next?
Quintana?
Judah?
I'd love to see him in there with either... Both are good fighters.
Thaoughts...
