    Call me nut'so........I like Clottey Berto has taken the express route to the big's and I have yet to see him in against true adversity.......save for Estrada a few and rugged Rivera.Clottey has looked on cruise control but has been deep.

    I think it's moot, I think Judah is going to beat Clottey and then I would love to see Judah-Berto. They might need to play that one in slo mo for the Compubox people.

    I don't think Clottey is that great, he's a good fighter, but he isn't the same pedigree as Berto... I can't believe how underrated this guy is. He's tough, amazingly fast, vastly improving every fight, and hits as hard as anyone in the WW division. I think people see this guy as a limited Mosley type fighter, but people need to remember Mosley at lightweight were his power counted for something, and Berto has that type of speed, but he also has a great jab. While guys like like Mosley threw a snapping jab, this guy actually throws a technically correct jab that really dictates the range. Just let him improve on his defense a little(I think he should try to get Floyd Snr as his coach) and he will unstoppable.

    This would be a great entertaining fight. Berto would take it though

    I don't think he hits as hard as anyone at welterweight, that's a stretch. He doesn't use his jab enough either. I do think he should try to get a defensive minded trainer and Floyd Sr. would be perfect because Berto is so athletic with such good upper body control that he could stand to learn a few things from Floyd.

    He got Estrada, only done also by Cintron, and I honestly can't think of a harder punch in the division then Berto's right uppercut.

    I find it really hard to judge how good Berto is. I mean his speed and combinations are great. Until he steps it up though to the upper echelon, my jury is still out on him.

    I he can maintain what he does against them, he will be tough to topple.

    funny...i can, Cotto's left hook to the body, and Margarito's overhand right both are harder than any of Berto's barked punches, the dudes fights sound like if Scooby Doo was in there fighting
