Will Andre Berto stop getting headlines now? Most overrated boxer in this time?

Did you see Ortiz-Berto or Berto-Zaveck? I can honestly say Berto gets more bullshit than he deserves. What you wanted him to turn down the huge HBO paydays? I'll never get what people wanted from him.

Berto has physical tools. I mean, if you saw how fast his punches were, you understand what people want from him.

Problem is, the dude doesn't move his head like he should, he pulls straight back (which allowed those straight rights to land), his foot movement is minimal, and he just plain can't win when he is in there with a guy who knows how to fight at the top level. He can overwhelm lesser opponents and get away with what he does wrong, but he can't do that when he is in with a real guy.

Virgil did an outstanding job in the corner last night... I can't say that I have been able to hear a trainer where I thought that the advice given was more relevant than I heard in that fight. Virgil was spot on with his instructions, and Berto did well when he followed instructions. Question is, is he capable of following instructions and breaking all of his bad habits? Probably not...

I have enjoyed watching him in the past. I think after last night he might be at the end unless Showtime finds a way to market him..

If you always thought he was a bum, you're nuts.

People flock to guys like Berto because they have the physical tools to be truly great. There have been THOUSANDS of guys who have had tremendous boxing skill/knowledge, but they didn't have the physical tools (whether that was athleticism, the ability to take a punch, ect).

So when you see a guy like Andre with the kind of speed and power to do great things, you can't blame people for being optomistic about him.

Obviously he's turned into quite a flop.

Yea... Berto is pretty much done for. I had high expectations for him. Thought he was robbed vs. Ortiz. But that's another story... he clearly ran out of gas and was stopped.

He is the new Zab Judah, but probably won't get as many chances as Zab got after Zab got beaten continuously!

Zab was the undisputed welterweight champion of the world and won two 140 pound belts, comparing the careers is laughable

3 of his losses are Floyd, Cotto and and Kosta hate when casuals dump on Zab.
