    Definitely a great fight and Mosely should win, based off of the Collazo fight. Maybe Williams should be next.

    Shane Mosley all day long in this one, I am a Berto fan as well and IMO he has a good future ahead of him but at this stage Shane is just too much for him

    There both pretty even in the speed department, Shane Mosley has the power advantage. And i think its a given Shane Mosley is tougher, they've both shown good stamina in the past.

    I don't think this is as clear cut as people think. Andre Berto when he uses his jab is a very effective weapon, and Shane Mosley has struggled against a good jabber in the past.

    The one thing though that is a bad weakness of Andre Berto, and that is that he squares himself up too much on the inside. And despite being a great athletic fighter, he's quite easy to hit. But saying that Shane Mosley isn't no defensive master himself.

    I think its a pretty close fight, Andre Berto will give Shane Mosley trouble with his jab and his speed. But i see Shane Mosley's power and experience, aswell as being the better inside fighter being the difference in the fight.

    Berto's chin isn't exactly made of granite. I see Mosley having hard time keeping up with Berto's speed, but will catch him eventually in late rounds.

    Mosley by KO.

    Mosley-Berto? Boy-oh-boy-oh-boy.... I can't wait!! Mosley will chew Berto up and spit him out inside of 7 rounds.

    Wouldnt be surprised if Berto pulled off an upset in this one. Shane looked great in his last fight but styles make fights and I cant see him ever being that good again .

    Class wise he is leagues above Berto but at his age he wants bigger fights. He didnt get the fight he wanted and now he finds himself in this position against a hungry unbeaten fighter.

    I lean towards Shane but its only 55-45 in his favour IMO

    We horribly disagree on this one, Game. HBO has been pushing Berto's agenda since Day One. Never mind how terrible he's looked in recent fights. (Once HBO puts its stamp on you, you're golden.)

    Mosley is light-years ahead of Berto skillwise, and would blow the doors off the Berto bandwagon for all of his disappointed fans to see. It would be downright embarassing.

    I think Mosley handles him physically and even more so mentally.Berto is green in each catagory.Front heavy and forward leaning with rigged legs and from the outside he shoots one-twos and then falls in....seems to become distracted and unhinged.Mosley would sniff that out like a bloodhound.Master vs. Student KO.
