    I agree one Berto having the tools...IMO if this kid is handled right he can go on to be one of the best in the sport.....I just don't know if his peoiple are handling him right........

    After the Collozo and Urango fights you could see the difference between the two bouts and how much Andre has improved but there is a big jump min class between those 2 and Mosley.....

    I just hate to see a Vargas situation where the kid has the goods but his team doesn't know enough to groom them properly...

    This just occurred to me now, but I wonder if all the criticism he got for the way he fought Urango will affect him against Mosley.

    Hopefully it will in a positive way...One thing I can say about Berto in the ring (Something that I like about him) is it seems after every fight he fixes or at least improves the mistakes he made the last time...

    Berto is still a work in progress.....One with unlimited potential.....As far as the thought from people on him being chinny, from what I have seen he is not glass jawed but more or less gets caught when getting over zelous...something again that can be fixed as he matures

    I actually think Berto will win. Mosley looked great in his last fight yes, BUT he will not be fighting someone who will just stand there and try and walk through his bombs like Marg did and don't forget how poor he looked against Mayorga in the fight before.

    I'm not saying I think it's a foregone conclusion that Berto will win, I just think he might have too much for Mosley at this advanced stage of his career.

    Of course Berto has a chance, but I still think Mosley will win, possibly by KO. Shane more than proved that he is not past it against Margarito, and to me he seems hungrier than ever. He seems improved with Nazeem and I see him cementing his legacy with a big win here.

    It really depends on Mosley... If it's the Shane that doesn't employ his Jab then he's gonna have a rough night cuz Berto can box fairly well and has a bit of pop. Shane def has the chin advantage as I've seen him get pasted and stand there...

    I'm sorry but people talking about Shane being past it... He's been looking in top form his last few outings, albiet against guys he could hit, but c'mon... Could he get old overnight? Maybe... There's always a chance but Shane has not showed glaring signs yet.

    If shane canemploy the jab and stick with it, he'll beat Andre in a competetive affair.

    I'm surprised at how many of you are picking Berto.

    He's got fast hands and some pop and loads of talent but he seems a little chinny and not too hard to hit.

    I think Mosley is faster than Berto, with a better chin and more power.

    Berto had a lot of trouble with Collazo, Mosley had no trouble with Collazo, and I don't see him having much trouble with Berto either to be honest.

    Remember though that Luis Collazo broke his hand vs Shane Mosley, and it was his most effective weapon his left hand. And even though it was only for 3 rounds, i thought he was giving Shane Mosley a good fight.

    Until he injured his left hand, now im not saying Luis Collazo would of won. But then again it surely would of been more competitive ? considering he could hardly use his best weapon for a majority of the fight.

    Berto is faster imo. But I'm not sure if his chin is gonna hold. He could win by a decision.

    60/40 Mosely.

    Bad fight for Berto because Shane has great stamina and a solid chin. Even at this stage of Sugar Shane's career, he can still take out these young guns. A make or break it fight for Berto.
