    Alot of that is because he's placed on a higher pedestal in the first place. Guys every week fight with less advertised injuries and we never know or see them pissing and moaning on a twitter account.
    I mean what was he suppose to do turn down the fame and money? The media hates Berto to the point they screwed him out of fight of the year, it's really to much.

    The media are just Coyotes who run to an accident scene much of the time. But it's a double edge sword, they made Berto also. Respect to any man between the ropes but in his case they had as big a hand in it as did his own two in the big picture I believe. He feels slighted on the other side when they come off like invested pitchmen looking for a return on some investment. Irony is how he fell in the first place and speaks to what was always his problem a wild hook thrown off balance.

    I don't know what the media have been saying, but there's certainly no reason to criticize Berto and he's probably got every right to be pissed. Sure he's been hyped a lot and lucky to get the opportunities he did, but he's never given us a bad fight either. It's not as if he's been a Gamboa type, the guy actually tries to use what he has and always gives it his all. Of course he's never made good on his physical tools, but not everyone has it in them to be a smart fighter as I'm sure he's tried. I wish HBO would push more guys like him upon us in retrospect, he is great for the sport and it's no surprise whatsoever he keeps getting chances imo.
