Berto needs to take the step to the top, and soon.

[Poom]

well he is WBC welter champ and people want that belt so he is gonna have no choice eh!

[The Fightfan]

I agree. I think Berto needs a big fight next.Rather then building that record up. The same goes for our gold medalist in the '04 games Andre Ward. Oh I'm sorry I forgot he fought for the WBO and NABO belts in his last outing. Get real.

[C-Lo]

Berto is somewhat protected IMO. His biggest fight to date is against Steve Forbes. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt cause he's only had 23 bouts. His next fight will most likely be Collazo who is probably the worst of all the names in the welterweight division. It'll be a while before we see him against the elite welters..

I disagree.. i think you underrate luis collazo here..

I agree Collazo was as fast as Mosley handspeed wise, he just didn't punch enough. I think he is one of the better small welterweights that most people are scared to fight. He's tough, he's very fast, and he knows how to box and mix it up.

i put the lack of business in the mosely fight down to the broken right hand.. which left him without his southpaw jab..

But we are not in the business of excuses i still think it is at the least a measuring stick to say he made the twelve rounds single handed and showed some class while he was able handed..

I have great faith that a hatton like performance against berto would win him the title, luis has stayed busy enough by sparring in other fighters training camps when he was having trouble securing fights since then and i cant wait to hear that the berto fight is secure for early next year

He won't beat Berto, Berto is better than him. I agree his broken hand was key factor in him losing to Mosley, but Berto is way faster than both of them. Collazo could hit Hatton, I don't think he would land anywhere near that much against Berto. I also don't think Collazo has the defensive qualities that Forbes did which means he will be getting hit a lot by Berto. I see Berto winning nearly every round in a semi-competitive fight similar to Berto-Forbes... but closer.
