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

I don't think he was over rated, he finally started fighting the very best and can't hang with them. Berto is still a very good fighter and compared to a lot of guys still has a career ahead of him. His confidence is shot right now so he needs to get a couple of easier opponents--confidence builders--under his belt.
He really needs to get his shoulder fixed too. I'm hoping the shoulder injury isn't some lame ass excuse for losing. I think he'll be around for awhile if he can get his head on straight.

I honestly don't get it how people can say he was not overrated. I'm thinking most of you guys did not follow boxing from 2003-2006. Maybe some of you guys are new to boxing or have been following it for a few years only.

Not a bad thing but to say he was not overrated is another. The man literally beat out elite fighters in Andre Ward, Timothy Bradley and legit fighters in Abner Mares, Brandon Rios, Vanes Martirosyan and Mike Alvarado for top boxing prospect in 2006.

Now if you think Berto is a better fighter because he is more exciting than Ward or Bradley then you are really missing out on the sweet science of the sport. Styles is what makes boxing and everyone has a different one.

We are talking about the caliber of a fighter and the results of the competition he faces. Not if A fighter can lose to B fighter but make it a good fight.

Mares is very fun to watch and he can actually win in exciting fights. There has got to be at least one person here that knows what I'm talking about.
