Mosley vs Berto Done Deal For 1/24/09

[bcollins]

I'm drunk, but is MOsley a G or what? He is really a monster for any weight. Just strait takes whatever fight is out therte.z You couldn't give one example in his entire career where could have evber posssibly not taken the tougherst fight hr could.

Except that time he couldn't fight PBF because he had a toothache or whatever it was. Then as soon as Floyd had the bigger name and became a PPV cash machine, Mosley starts calling him out and his fans in the press start claiming that Mayweather was ducking him.

Still, it's a great matchup. Mosley UD. I don't know what it is about Berto -- he just doesn't look like an elite fighter.

I'd agree with that - but he does look like he has the potential to be an elite. I think that's what has a lot of people looking twice at him, myself included. I still think he should have been brought along a little more slowly, but he's on the stage now. Throw him in the deep end, and let's see if he can swim!

I like Berto's chances, and I think this is a great matchup for him, win, lose, or draw. He'll learn a lot in the ring with SSM.

More slowly he's 25/26 now. Berto needs to step it up, Mayweather was like 21-22 when he won his first title, Oscar was young, Roy was younger, etc, etc. Berto to reach his potential needs to start fighting legit opponents STAT.

I think most would agree that he needs to step up his competition; the question is whether Mosley is too big of a step when the toughest opponent of your career is Steve Forbes.

But it probably makes more sense for Berto to take a chance fighting an old Mosley rather than a Clottey or Kermit Cintron or somebody like that. Those type guys would be almost as big a risk, without the same reward of having Mosley's name on your record.
