    No. I see qualities in Berto that remind me of PBF. I'm not saying that he's as good as Floyd but he has the potential to be IMO!

    Forbes doesn't have the power to bother Berto and doesn't have the output to take rounds in the judges eyes, so no I don't agree.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    The Berto train will grind to a hault once he meets a top tier guy... HE'S NOT THAT GOOD!

    He's only had 22 fights, once he gains some more experience he'll become an elite fighter IMO.

    Steve Forbes took Oscar De la Hoya the distance and Oscar didn't look so hot vs him. Forbes can take a punch, Berto doesn't punch as hard as people would like to believe and being on this big of a stage and being young I think Berto is primed for a loss.


    Either way Miguel Cotto needs to fight either one of them in his come back fight....and either way he wins by KO

    This will be a great fight.

    Very hard and rugged i see Berto winning a close dec. Berto has hardly looked great when he stepped up to even semi elite level. I also have doubts on Bertos stamina.

    Will be closer than many think.

    The only thing Forbes HAS to do that he didn't vs De la Hoya was to up his punch output.

    Vargas was a one dimensional fighter in love with his power...he didn't have ANY defense. Cotto fought a hard fight and had he stayed in and lost the decision I may agree with you but Cotto only had a couple rounds where he was really beaten up and so I don't think he's anywhere near washed up.

    Cotto also didn't get startched by 1 punch either so I doubt he's going to be chinny or gunshy in his next fight either. When Vargas got beat by Trinidad he got floored a couple times early and then got smashed the rest of the fight...and vs De la Hoya he got his ass whipped over a prolonged period of time (albeit while winning many rounds).

    He used the words has the potential to be as good as floyd... Do you remember what PBF looked like with 12 fights?

    This statement is just crazy... He's the next Jeff Lacy... Sorry
