Cotto vs Berto????

[kingfrnk]

Kinda hard to call this one without seeing how the Margarito lose affected Cotto or even if it did at all. But if Cotto is the same when he fought Tony then he kos berto especially if he sticks to the body.

IMO i think Berto should atleast take 1 or 2 more fights before taking on Cotto.

I think that Berto would win. I really like the look of him and I think it would be a close hard fought fight but I give the edge in power to Berto and also in speed so my vote goes with Berto.

I go for Berto as well, Obviously Cotto goes to the body so well, has excellent timing and power, but Berto is the better boxer on the outside, he is way faster, Cotto can be hurt by sharp punchers(thats why IMO Judah and Torres hurt him more with single punches than Mosley and Margarito), Berto can be very hard to hit when he wants to be, and Cotto is an easier target to hit especially with the uppercut because he keeps his head down.

HBO/Showtime/ESPN should keep their little pet project away from Cotto. It could get ugly.

Berto was on ESPN what once? I don't think he was on showtime, at least not in a big fight. I guess we will see who should have been kept away from who after the fight.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Berto's the next hottest thing in boxing. Especially to a stateside boxing public hungry for the next PBF (alledgedly still retired), DLH (hopefully retired), or Pavlik (back to the drawing board). And while Berto's not bad... he's not in Cotto's class. No way, no how.

This would be a great fight, I'd lean towards Cotto, unless the controversy with Tony shows he was innocent, then I would favor Berto more because I think he has more power than Cotto and could knock him out. Of course if Tony did cheat than I give it to Cotto for he would haven shown an amazing chin going against bricks in the gloves.

If anything for Cotto,I see a Mosley rematch.Berto is steady coming but just has not knocked down the door in impressive fashion.To me,I saw far too many questions left unanswered in Collazo fight than questions answered.Somewhat of a Risk/reward rational for Cotto...he is rebuilding and going onto mega fights saving for disaster in the Jennings fight.Berto needs to find his style definatively and stick with it.

Cotto TKO
Berto is a good fighter but Cotto is just something else.
