Somebody bought a little something something with them tonight

I'm sorry JT but he is not near Cotto, Margarito or Williams.

Come on do you think Miki would have lasted that long with Cotto?
Cotto would blast out Miki in 1.

I like the kid but come on, he still has yet to fight any live opponents.

The bad thing about it I think is that he is in the same place as Sasha where he has gotten himself up the rankings a bit too soon. Now it's time to fight the best OR keep fighting the same type of opposition.

As hard as I try I can't see envision him beating any of the top 3 WW.

He's def. got the goods. There is no denying that BUT we gotta look at the opposition he has faced.

You talk about how Cotto would react to Bertos assault but a street runs two ways. How would Berto react to Cottos body assault? How would Berto react to Cottos jab.

Until I see Berto beat a top 10 WW, I really wont be convinced.

Believe me JT I've made that mistake before where I hype up a prospect because he's blowing past opponents without REALLY looking at the big picture. The last fighter I did that with was "Panchito" Bojado and I made a promise that I wouldn't do that again.

Berto still has things to prove for me.
But that's just me...

Its not just you mick.

I dunno I don't find him exciting at all.

Maybe it was the way he got floored by Cosme Riveria and struggled to look good against a guy who Zab blew away in a couple rounds.

I completely went off Joel Julio for the same reason.


Berto, Julio and Joshua Clottey just head the pack of popular fighters who for some reason do absolutely nothing for me whatsoever.

I find it painful to watch any of them fight.

Berto was sharp and accurate last night. But he seems to lack on power department.

I'm not sold on Berto yet. He has shown improvement, but DaBully needs to put him in with some better competition.

Until he steps up the level of competition, the jury is still out on him for me.

I guess I'm still bitter about what he did to Juan McPherson, a local boy here, during the 2004 Olympic Trials.

I didn't see the fight but from what i've seen previously with Berto he isn't really improving IMO like Cotto or Mayweather were at this point in there career's, Berto has a solid jab, good handspeed, good power, but his defense is very leaky he might of improved on it in his last fight because i didn't see it. But from previous fights he hadn't improved on his defense, i agree with Mick he needs to step up and fight with winner of Clottley vs Judah or even Collazo just any of the top Welterweights who can test him then we can see what level he is at. The old saying is that when a boxer becomes a world champion they automatically become 25 percent better, lets hope that happens in Berto's case.

[Macho]

I think that is too early for Berto to unified Tiltle , and he maybe could face with the winner between Judah /Clotey or Quntana/Cintron , Collazo , Gomez , Baldomir , etc.........

I feel the same way. Love his hand speed. Not convinced about his power
