How does Berto-Cotto go?

[TommyGunn_]

Berto is not ready to fight the likes of Cotto,Margarito,Williams and even Judah and Clottey yet.He should fight somebody like Jose Luis castillio and go from their.

Gotta agree Geraldine. LOL!

Great Thread

Berto needs way more work, and may never have the sheer aggression and will of Cotto. Now that he is a real contender we'll see, wont we?

Berto would be a great sacrificial lamb for Cotto's comeback. Nice choice.

[ElTerribleMorales]

Berto now, then, or in the future, gets his ass handed to him on a platter, sorry this kid being called a "world champion" is the biggest joke in boxing since Hatton/Maussa being billed as an actual ppv fight, or even a competitive fight

Berto gets smashed

[ArawakWarria]

I was just having this discussion with a friend, and we came to see that Berto showed his greatest improvement in movement, defense and power in his last fight. But in another sense, that only now makes him a true CONTENDER, so we have ordained him a Contender with a Belt. No hating, no qualms; it happens with many limelight/olympic boxers (vargas, juan diaz, etc.). But now is when we get to see what type of boxer he will become. Please remember that David Estrada was once pushed as much as Berto, and now he is a really tough trial horse.

Here are the people I think will help him progress in his career & grow as a fighter.

Luis Collazo
Zab Judah
Alfonso Gomez
Carlos Quintana

Out of these, I would say Collazo is his biggest challenge (depending on which Collazo showed up)

And big props to the comment about using him as a great comeback fight!

Berto has not fought anyone or anything to even come close in preparing him for the likes of Cotto & company.

Very good Improvement,great handspeed and TV friendly but he needs some adversity against a viable, serious opponent who will ask him questions and demand answers.

Surely you mean Collazo?

Not Castillo...
