Gotta disagree there man, Berto showed great stamina & resilience to pick up the last 2 rounds in the Collazo fight. I know some had it for Collazo, but for me, Berto needed those last 2 & he took them well, especially considering the pace the fight had been fought at. I think Dirrell won & is a potentially very good fighter, but Berto has a lot more for me, I don't think anyone who saw the Collazo fight could question his heart.
i don't question his heart, but he did look dead tired by the 8th, he took the last two rounds more on will and heart than by his actual conditioning, not to mention the guy in front of him wasn't a big puncher and was just about as gassed as he was
He did, but to me he showed he could find something extra when he needed it. It was similar to the Cotto-Clottey fight in that sense, although I had Clottey just edging that one. I think Collazo is a tremendously underrated guy & I thought Berto fought the right fight against Urango because if you try blaze him out, well, ask Randall Bailey.

I don't buy into everything Taeth says about him, I agree he can look pedestrian at times, but to me he's a guy who is getting better & we're yet to see a clear style from him. If he can keep his jab solid & not flick it as he's prone to do, I really think he could have the beating of Mosley.
