Andre Berto Pulls Off The Upset Shane Mosley Is Getting Overrated.

[ICB]

Shane is not over rated you berk he is an ATG. Berto can never achieve what Shane has done in his career. Berto can win but please do not under play Shane, it does a dis-service to Berto should he pull it off.

Hold on a minute when did i say Shane Mosley wasn't an ATG ? all im saying is that he's getting overrated lately not his career overall, because of his win vs Antonio Margarito, yet those same people were saying he looked shot vs Ricardo Mayorga.

No need to call me names trust me i know all about Shane Mosley, and have seen pretty much all his title fights aswell as his early fights, so trying to tell me he's an ATG isn't necessary i can assure you. I think you misunderstand what im getting at.

I think if anything you over rate Berto, I think he is one of the most over rated fighters out there, depends how the year out has effected Mosley, but if Berto wins which is a possibility I think it's more to do with Shane's inactivity.

Berto should be fighting Collazo he has unfinished business there.

Well, I've been saying in any thread that mentioned it that I think that Berto beats him, you're free to go back & check Ice. If he avoids fighting in spurts so much & builds a lead against Shane early, I think he can do it. Shane often takes his time to get into a fight these days & as good as he looked against Margarito, that was also his night to prove everyone wrong. I think he may lack the motivation against Berto, but in all honesty the reason I think Berto will win is because you can never predict how he's going to fight. He makes adjustments & gets a little better every time. I'm by no means discounting Shane, I see it as a 50/50 fight, but I just have a feeling Berto surprises a lot of people.

I'm not mad keen on Berto but generally in boxing when two top fighters meet, a young champion or the heir elect versus the old champ, it seems the young guy wins more often than not.

I think Mosely is a better fighter but if I was a gambling man I'd go with the law of probability I guess and take Berto, even though I think Mosely will win, if that makes any sense at all.

Finally I know Berto claims to have God on his side, but Mosely has juice on his, and juice is generally a more reliable ally during a fight.

Berto is stuck in between styles far too often to be called a sound technical fighter..he literally cannot make up his mind at times and forces mistakes.Anyone that says Mosley was shot in with Mayorga is off their rocker.I still believe that fight was all about Mosley making a statement,getting rough and rugged with Mayorga going into the Margarito fight.I dont see Berto with the endurance,resilience,strength and experience of either of those two.Once Mosley catches Berto falling in and looking to clinch afterwords on those stiff legs I expect Mosley to carve him up badly and take him to neighborhoods he has never come close to walking through.

This.

Berto's inside game sucks, his footwork sucks and his defence sucks.
On the flipside his handspeed is disgustingly fast and he has decent power.

My take: Mosley is going to use his superior timing to knock Berto's weak stance off balance all night long on a dominant performance, with Berto hitting the canvas twice.

[OumaFan]

Yeah, saying his weakness is squaring up on the inside is being a bit nice, he doesn't have an inside game to speak of at all.

I do think "this" Shane could be getting slightly overrated but I don't think Berto's the one to beat him.

You know Ouma, ever since Youngblood called you out for making wishy washy postings I just notice it all the time.

Never an exclamation mark, never capital letters, bold lettering, or any trace of language that could be aggressive, excitable or opinionated.
