    I think both fighters beat Berto, but he needs to step un in class. Right now, he's rated in the top ten and he needs to fight a top 10 fighter so we know if he belongs there. Even if he losses it will be a learning experience for him because I haven't scene any improvement in his last few fights. Maybe Rodriguez can push him a little. So far, he's just powering his way through C grade fighters. Alvarez would be a good fight for him, too.

    Against Clottey he would need to outbox him, because Clottey is stronger. Against Collazo, he would be up against a more skilled, slicker guy. Either way, he would have to adapt his game or lose. Personally I think he's a bit overrated.

    Thank you... People are talking like Collazo is this journeyman gate keeper... He was a world champ last year... People are talking like Berto would have the ability to outbox Joshua Clottey... Berto has never come close to a guy like Clottey in the ring, a grizzled seasoned vet who can bang and back Berto way up...

    Collazo is better than a journeyman gatekeeper, but he isn't on the level with the Big Three at WW. Who has he beat? His whole reputation is based on giving a natually much small man who struggles against southpaws, Hatton, a hard time. I'm not that impressed with Clottey, either. He's a physical speciman and he can crack, but he's limited. He's been in tougher than Berto for sure, but I see his win over Chico as more about Chico being shot that Clottey being that good. Yeah, he looked good against Tony until he hurt his hand, but his whole reputation is based on that loosing effort.

    Listen, I don't believe the Berto hype yet, but they guy is ranked high in by several of the alphabet organizations. He's the #1 WBC contender, believe it or not. Fightnews actually has him rated higher (how I don't know) than both Clottey and Collazo. It's not unreasonable to consider putting him in with Collazo or Clottey. Maybe he can step up his game against better competition. Maybe not. We aren't going to learn much by him fighting Rodriguez, and if he wins that fight he becomes the manditory for Mayweather's WBC belt. And since Floyd will vacate that tricket before he wastes his time on Berto, the guy ought to fight a legit top ten opponent before the WBC belt falls out of the sky into his lap, and if that happens, Collazo will be his manditory defense.
