Berto May Land WBC Title With Mayweather Retireing

[JT Rock]

Totally agree, PEU. I think Berto is a good fighter, has power and speed,but is very very robotic,wide open to get hit and I'm not sure about his chin(I've read reports from his sparring etc of him getting knocked down alot a while ago). Tony and Cotto would shred him to pieces at this stage. I'd like to see him fight some LIVE decent level fighters first.

The problem is, if he wins the WBC strap he will have to choice but to fight the big boys

wHY? I know he's fighting someone for an eliminator,which Im guessing will no be for the title and after that, I don't think the WBC will force him to fight anyone for a while.

No Gamo you got to read it again... The WBC might make this fight for the title itself.

If they do and Berto wins then he is the new WBC Welterweight Champ Then he will have to defend and OI can see the winner of Cotto/Margarito fighting Oscar next if Floyd is retired or Unifying the titles

The only real problem I see with Berto is the same as we see with many prospects who can bang.

The trainers and handlers just seem to think it is OK to neglect his defense. I never understood that in all my years as a fan of the sport.

You would think that knowing the guy has a shaky chin that would be the main focus for a while so he IS able to compete with the higher level, especially knowing that the elite of his division are bangers.

Oh well I guess they know more then I do or else I would be making the big bucks training fighters rather then giving my opp on a forum.

Thats one of the main reasons I like the Mayweather family style of training.. DEFENSE!

Yeah,I admit,i TOTALLY love Floyd's defence, especially in this day and age where everyone is a banger with hands down by their side. Mayweather training on the mits,and rolling with punches=amazing.
