Berto now is allover the boxing media and is everyones fav. prospect at 147 (Don't blame them the kids got talent) but if you face him with Cotto and he loses I know exactly what everyone will say, cause I've heard it before...

Same goes for when Margarito faced Kyvelos & Cintron, the talks were that both Cintron & Kyvelos had youth & power to beat and give Margarito trouble but they didn't, once he beat them then everyone said they were too green and inexperienced....

And judging from Bertos body structure and what he weighs on fight now I don't think he'll be there much longer if I'm honest... I think 154 suits him better.... I got a feeling the kids struggling a little making 147....
Trust me Mick, he has no problem making weight, He was eating a cheese steak just last week, he trains real hard and he's young with a fast metabolism. Berto's a BEAST!!!. Eventually he will move up to 154ibs, but thats probably a few years away.
Well, you might be right about the weight BUT just never know really if he will stay there, if his management team see he can do bigger and better things at 154 I'm sure they'll have a word with him about it....

Take BCDawson for example he started at Middleweight, he then as I suspected moved to SMW and everyone including myself said this will be the div. he reigns and will stay at, next thing you know hes fighting at Ligh Heavy. never indications of weight problems or anything like as I looked closer into this since I had been following BCD for a minute now, something became aparent that at Middle & SMW there was too many things going on, at Middle you had this whole feud of Winky & JT and you had Abraham & Miranda so his team knew there was too much ruckus there same thing at SMW you had the Joe C. soap opera and all the drama going on there BCD would probably spend too much time standing in line waiting to get a title shot... (look at how many undefeated rising prospects are there).....

At Light Heavy look at the top guys there.... RJJ is fading away, Tarver looks like hes just interested in having the lights on him and not caring much about fighting, Woods IMO won't be around much longer same goes for Johnson, Julio Gonzalez as much as I like him he just aint an elite fighter and can be outworked.

As far as future of the div. it was pretty much open for the taking and look whats turned out of it, he is now the WBC Champ. and beat a very good Champ. at that.....

So yeah!! you just never really now if a boxer will stick in the division, so many things to take into consideration....
