I wouldn't lump Berto in with Lacy. Berto is a much more complete fighter than Lacy was and seriously, all of Lacy's big wins came against shot fighters. Berto had a good win against a quality prime fighter. I rate Berto's win over Collazo higher than Lacy's against Reid or Pemberton.

Lacy could have hung around longer, but Kessler would have abused him just as bad.
