This is a guy who is naturally smaller than Ricky Hatton and Malignaggi fighting guys much bigger than him.

He should move down to 140 where he would be a legitimate threat.

Berto looked good but I'm still not sold on him. He's a good, hard working honest kid but for some reason I sense a somewhat weak chin and believe he'll get steamrollered by an elite fighter like Cotto, Williams or Margarito.

100% agree. I'm no more sold on Berto now than I was before. He just beat up a guy who for some odd reason is fighting at a weight class he shouldn't be in.

And I don't know about anyone else; but I saw Forbes land a whole bunch of clean punches; especially left hooks in the 1st half of the fight; and if he had any power would have floored Berto. Rivera came close to getting him out of there; so wait until any of the big 3 touch him.

A phenomenal athlete and great stamina, but I need to see him with a LEGITIMATE WW.
