    Its funny that you mentioned it because, Winky actually sparred with Berto during his preparation for his fight against Ike Quartey, Berto was his chief sparring partner, and Berto more than held his own against Wright. Against Forrest, its impossible to judge that fight, Forrest definitely is super human, I mean look what Mayorga did to him. IMO Berto would give him a run for his money, and I am not saying Berto is the best fighter in the world, but he will be one of them soon, and stylewise Mosley will have terrible time against him. He hates fighting guys who are fast, guys who can jab, and nobody likes fighting a guy who is hard to hit, which Berto is when he is fighting normally(like against Forbes).

    berto and cotto should fight....shane beats berto with pressure...Shane only has two fights that are smart for him...pbf or the hatton pac winner...

    Shane pressures Berto? Berto is the higher output guy, and he isn't Margarito, he has way more skill and athleticism to back him up, if not physical strength, I mean this guy was a TOP running back prospect had he gone to college instead of going into boxing, people compared him to Warrick Dunn, obviously not the biggest guy, but still very powerful compared to most welterweights.

    IMO once again and I will agree to disagree he outboxes Shane, and makes Shane look like what he is, a boxer-puncher who isn't the best puncher or boxer out there.

    Berto has alot of gifts alot like Mosley but he tends to not take a step back and cant stay focused so that is his down fall not what he can do with his speed and power but how his mind set is this is a very mental game reason why Leonard was so good because he was very gifted with speed power and chin but he was also tough as nails and never gave in.

    Pressure him by walking through his shots constantly. and cutting the ring off...not by throwing a lot, simple aggression by stalking. Berto's stamina is suspect..and he doesn't have the power of shane. Shane would stop berto.

    Look Mosley has beat Berto best name on his resume in better fashion and when he was like 10 years older and not prime i not saying Berto would not go on to be great but come on him facing Mosley very tough fight. I dont think Berto can hurt Shane tell you the truth maybe he can but i know for damn sure if Mosley counters him with power shot it my be all she wrote for Berto in a way he kinda reminds me of Mosley and i like him but on that not sure just how good his chin is and he makes just as much mistakes and Mosley does if he trys to duke it out with him game over Berto while hit teh canvas faster then Margrito did wont be pretty.
