Andre Berto is WBC number 1 right?Does that make him Floyd's mandatory?

Andre Berto would give Mayweather a harder fight right now than Oscar.

Berto is way too green to get in the ring with Mayweather. He's got a lot of potential, but he's still pretty far from polished from what I've seen.

Keep in mind, that Delahoya might have been Mayweather's toughest fight since he fought Jose Luis Castillo the first time. So I don't see why there's so many people freaking out about the rematch.

Just out of curiosity, who do you think would win if it were Berto instead of Mayweather fighting Delahoya later this year? I'd pick Oscar by wide UD, with a couple knockdowns in the fight for good measure.

I think ODh would stop Berto, depending on how Oscar handled making 147. He's just too big, strong, and experienced, and Berto's defense is still way too leaky.
