Berto fell into the belt prematurely he knows that, this fight will be decent i don't blame berto.

Good posting...good points....I agree with most of it 100%...

Berto did fall into the title a bit too early....A rematch with Collazo will not prove much....IMO he beats Collazo next time around with out the amount of difficulity he had 1st time....Berto is still in the growing stages of his career...His power is natural...His boxing ability is getting better...A little more on defense and a bit on stamina would be nice....

But he needs diversity in opponents right now....He needs to get used to being in there with all styles......He is a poor mans Fernando Vargas...A bit too much too soon but the mistakes made with Fernando can be avoided if they don't throw him in with the top of the heap just yet....EG-Clotty, Cotto, Mosley etc....There are champions out there defending against worse then Collazo and Urango so no reason to be that rough on him for opponent choice
