    More skilled doesn't mean better. I agree and I do think Cotto has way more skills and I'm partial to guys with more skill then the guys who just gut forward but damn, give him a little credit for being a fighter who's been able to have a lot of success in a tremendously skilled division.

    No losing because your styles don't match up doesn't make you worse. Cotto beat Mosley, he had a way closer fight with Margarito than Margarito had with Mosley. Paul Williams isn't that great, and he beat Margarito and IMO would doso again. Mayweather would beat Margarito, as would Pacquiao, maybe even Berto.

    Now your just drinking the kool-aid,Mosley even at this stage is lightyears ahead of Berto...and a Pacquioa at about 150,that what they come in at with Margarito.Williams will never again rome at Welter,prior to and after tonight.

    Margarito would never catch Pacquiao in the ring, and Mosley isn't light years ahead of Berto, I hope they fight next so Berto can prove it.

    Mosley knocks Berto the fawk out!To strong inside,accurate and riding HUUUUGE momentum off tonight.Berto coming off so-so wtf descision where his defensive lapses were glaring and he raised more questions than he answered.

    If Mayweather were to come back and actually take the fight, I think he would beat Margarito on points pretty comfortably- but NOT even come close to knocking him out. Above 140 he fights very smart (some might say boring) when he's fighting naturally bigger men - not the case against a blown up 140 pounder.

    But he's retired and I hope he stays retired unless he fights at 140 or below, because above this weight he fights too "smart" for my taste.

    Props to Shane Mosley for a incredible performance and to both fighters for making the fight happen.

    I am betting you that Shane wouldn't stop Berto, he isn't landing those punches he did on Margarito on Berto. He was having a hard time landing really clean punches on Collazo while Berto did with ease. MOsley was lucky that Luis broke his hand, because him being southpaw and being so quick really gave SHane problems early, then Luis stopped punching. You want to see defensive lapses? Watch Mosley-Wright I and II, Watch Mosley vs Cotto, MOsley vs Vernon Forrest I and II, Mosley vs Vargas I. That is a guy who is easy to hit. Berto may have had defensive problems but Collazo was still landing under 30%, and he hardly landed at all when they were actually boxing. Berto has a way better jab, he is faster than MOsley, a better boxer, he hits harder, I say he can take Mosley's punch, and he is in just as good of shape.

    Watch Mosley-Estrada and then Berto-Estrada and you will see who has more power, who is faster, who is better.

    Also how would you think Berto would do against Forrest not well in my book and Winky would take him to school those arent good examples.

    Don't play that game. It doesn't work. Mosley will KTFO Berto. If they fight, within the next year, let's have a little sig bet. For one month you change you name to BertoNugger and add to your sig "I am not worthy to watch Shane Mosley fight because I'm too stupid to appreciate his greatness."

    Throw anything you want at me. I'll change my name to "Sucks Mosleys Balls" or something like that. Whatever you want.

    mosley would walk berto down and stop him...Shane only has two fights he should take....floyd or the pac-hatton winner...other than that he has nothing to prove anymore...best light weight this side of duran..and for his fights with vargas,delahoya, winky, mayorga, cotto, margarito, he's easily one of the best fighters p4p top 20.. all time
