Miguel Cotto has turned down Andre Berto

[Onix]

angulo and berto need another 3-4 solid matchups with 2nd tier opponents before the likes of miguel cotto should be considered.

I just see a raw youthful berto being taught a boxing lesson by the classier opponent

Respect the opinion, however I think Berto would DESTROY, I think CRUCIFY would be a better description, Cotto. Probably a worst beating then he took from Manny Pac. Mostly because of the mileage but also Berto hits harder and is obviosuly bigger than Manny and he still has alot of speed.

As for Angulo, he doest the same as Berto but slower and he may not get the knockout but he punishes Cotto all the same.

Opinions are like assholes... everybody's got one. Here's mine: Cotto haters will bet against him against the most meaningless Joe Blow off the street. Credit is hard to come by from haters, and is quickly taken away at the first sign of weakness. But MY opinion is that Cotto is a different fighter with Steward now in his corner. Miguel made a terrible mistake in taking the Pacquiao fight with Joe fukking Santiago in his corner. No offense to the man... but he doesn't know SQUAT about boxing strategy or game plans. Steward is a proven professional. Angulo's a tough guy, but he gets taken apart by Cotto. And Berto? I've been wanting to see Berto's balloon deflated for a long time. He's got skills, don't get me wrong. But it rubs me the wrong way when the press builds a bandwagon and everybody jumps on before the "annointed one" does anything of true merit. Berto is still raw, and has had his rough moments against boxers not in the same tier as Cotto. So you do the math.

Not sure that there is a Berto bandwagon but if there is I will gladly sit in the drivers seat, especially if there ever were a fight between the two. I also wouldnt say anyone is a Cotto hater for saying he is going to get beat by another fighter. Cotto has been in some very damaging battles and it appears, in MY opinion, that is has really took a toll on his body. The next puncher he gets in there with is going to stop Cotto in bad fashion and it could be either Angulo or Berto. Both are good punchers and Berto also has great speed, throw that in with a war torn Cotto and its only a matter of time before seeing him laid out Ricky Hatton style.
