Bad move if true, bigger and better fights at Welter.

True more money to be made, but his prospects of dominating a division are more likely at 140 than 147. Especially if Hatton retires next year.Originally Posted by Kel

He weighed in at 145 in his last fight and came in like 5 pounds lighter then forbes, I don't see any reason, given his height, why hecan't make 140. He is still young. I just don't understand the reason, I am very confident in him beat guys likeCotto, Mosley, Quintana, ext if he continues to improve. ALl the interesting fights for him are at 147

Well I would think there's not much going on down there at 140; and really want to see how much noise he can truly make at WW. But if he can/does move down to 140 it will be like putting a pit bull in a henhouse.

Well if he can become undisputed champ at Light Welter then I suppose he could move back to Welter for mega paydays. Maybe it's a smart move afterall thinking about it some moreTrue more money to be made, but his prospects of dominating a division are more likely at 140 than 147. Especially if Hatton retires next year.

It just time wasted. He can make enough money beating everybody in the WW division.

Re: Rumour Has It Andre Berto Moving Down To 140 ?
Really odd,He was basically a Jr.Middle at first,Then Welter and now entertains Jr.welter prospects.Usually the other way around as you age.It really is two different worlds and at this point,I cannot pick him over Williams,Margarito,Cotto,Clottey.....but he will be forced to step up competition as exposure increases,The man is a "World Champion" after all. Jr Welt is an open door,Hatton would make sense if he sticks around and Bradly is finding a nitch but aside from that ??

How about this... Bradley is leaving 140 and moving down to 135... Bradley likes to join PAC, Campbell, Guzman, JMM, David Diaz, Juan Diaz, Katsidis, Barrera, Morales, etc. at 135...
Berto losing a possible dance partner at 140...
