Mosley shifts focus to Berto

[Taeth]

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.

How is Mosley light years ahead of Berto skillwise? He has worse technique, doesn't throw combinations as well, his defense isn't any better, and he loads up on shots the same way. THe one big difference, possibly why Mosley will win is his durability, and Berto being to eager to throw down.

I said before I saw Berto beating Mosley, and I am sticking to it, I could definitely see Shane win, but I have a feeling Berto is just too fast, throws the right type of punches, and Mosley is really predictable.

I'm a fan of both fighters, & would probably root for Berto as he could become a new star for boxing, however there is NO WAY in hell that Mosley has worse technique, the guy is a future HoFer & one of the best fighters of the decade. I would say that NOW Berto might have a slight edge in speed, but Mosley in his prime would annihalate Berto. Give the man his due, as you so constantly ask people to do for the fighters you like.

Mosley is a good fighter, there is no disputing that, but being a HOF'er doesn't make you a technical wiz, and he isn't one. His jab sucks, his cross sucks, he used to throw combinations, but now he just loads up on hooks, and he's always been way too easy to hit.

At least I see Berto rolling punches, he has a good cross, a good jab, a great uppercut, he throws good combinations, and he does things like throwing 4-5 left hooks in a row. Definitely when he gets into exchanges he looks terrible technically, but Berto on the outside is technically superior to Mosley, he has more weapons on the outside.

I still think its a toss up fight, but I am going with Berto, just like many of you went with Cotto over MOsley(I thought MOsley was going to win), I just don't see Mosley being good enough on the outside.

Glad to see Mosley is finally deciding to quit waiting on the little Pac chicken. I'm not impressed with Berto at all, a fairly motivated Mosley should beat him quite handily.
