I think Berto has the physical tools to beat Mosley; however, whether or not he can execute is a different matter entirely. I also don't know if he'll be able to deal with Mosley's power.

Here's the thing, Berto doesn't just have the athleticism, he has all the tools to beat even the best this version of Mosley has to offer, but in order to do that he needs to fight as his very best all night. We haven't seen it yet from him, but I hope he can step up to the plate.
Its amazing to me how a guy who can have such great technique can also look so slow. How a guy so athletically gifted can have just a hard time dominating guys so much slower than him, and get tagged by guys who have no business hitting him.
If he fights average or badly he will get destroyed, but if he fights his best I think Mosley will have a really hard time getting very much done.

mosley got swag now since he been with richardson he's gonna win
I always look forward to any Mosley fight the guys a warrior. I feel he has his hunger back but I would be lying if I didnt feel a bit nervous about this match up.
Although the KO of Margarito was outstanding and unexpected I think that he caught Margo at the right time with the handwrap issue and the fact that he struggled to make weight, also Margos fighting style was perfect for Mosley.
Mosley can struggle at times against a fighter who have a fast jab (Forrest/Cotto) so if Berto uses his hand speed and keeps his distance he could make it a very difficult night for Shane. But if Berto decides to mix it up on the inside like he did against Collazo he is gunna get his arse handed to him, I saw too many mistakes by Berto in that fight and I think with Mosleys experiance and with Brother Nazims tactics I think it will be too much for Berto, im going for a Mosley UD.

Either way you have to take your hat off at Shane for taking on an undefeated, young and dangerous fighter.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I think if the fight is close then Berto gets the decision, Berto is the new guy and fresh face for hbo like Taylor was against Hopkins. I don't know who will win but I'm rooting for Mosely.
Berto's last statement in that interview was very good ( You gave a lot to the game but it can also take back ), so true in this sport.

Man I'm so ready for this fight. We'll actually get to see real big time welterweight boxing. Mosley only looks good against slow guys who will come forward. Before the Margarito fight, let's not forget that Mosley went life and death against MAYORGA. Cotto was able to dominate Mosley in some rounds with his jab. Berto will dominate with his jab and his speed will punish Mosley. Berto wins a UD. Birth of a new star.

A KO would be fantastic epecially now with all the talk of Mosley/Mayweather possibly for May. This is a fight ive been dreaming of since Mosley was reigning the lightweight division, I just hope it has not come round too late in Mosleys career. What I would give to see Mosley KO Mayweather!!
