I may be in the minority here but I think this is a pretty good match-up! It has the potential to be a great fight (like Collazo/ Berto was), if Berto is impressive here then he can move on to much bigger fights. IMO Berto needs to build his name a little more then when potential fights with the Cotto's or Mosley's materialize they are huge events!

Riveria floored him legitimately and took him 10 rounds. For a supposed future world class star thats piss poor imo. Judah blasted him out inside 3 rounds and Angulo just manhandled him and forced him to quit in 5.
If Berto is truly world class he shouldn't be going 10 rounds with the likes of Riveria and he certainly shouldn't be getting floored by them.
I think Urango is a good test for Berto right now. Apart from Collazo he's never fought anyone better.
I'm not sold on Berto's tougness really, I think Urango will ask a few questions of him. I expect Berto to win but I reckon he'll be taken another 12 hard rounds and will have a few ropey moments whereas Mosely, Williams, Mayweather, Cotto etc wouldn't have any problems
Um you do know that Rivera had 2 weeks noticed for the Angulo fight and came in 17 pounds lighter than him?
Also you want to talk about Zab Judah, I dare his promoter to try and put him in with Berto, he would get destroyed.
Forbes is really tough, nobody has even dropped him, David Estrada is super tough and it took Cintron only one less round to stop him.
Not trying to compare the two, but do you think ALi should have been floored by Henry Cooper?
Didn't Felix Trinidad go down? Didn't Demarcus Corley affected Mayweather, and almost knock out Cotto?

I think he has the potential, just doesn't either have the guidance or the mentality to take advantage of his strengths, if he did IMO he could be a Mayweather or Roy Jones Jr type fighter, but because of his mentality he would be very lucky to even achieve Cotto's level of career.
