Andre Berto vs Randall Bailey

[bzkfn]

Bailey always has the punchers chance I guess but seriously, how has Berto gone from signing to fight Sugar Shane at the start of 2010, to fighting Freddy Hernandez at the back end of the year and now a possible fight against an old 140 fighter? I thought when he fought Collazo he was on the right path, and the Quintana fight was a decent opponent, but ffs, it is surely time to fight at a different level than this.

Name some better options. The main one I can think of is Kermit Cintron. Other than Cintron though?

Collazo rematch (most feel it was warranted), Joshua Clottey (The main one I'd like to see), Judah, Senchenko or Zaveck for unification purposes, Saul Alvarez, Mike Jones, Soto-Karrass, Aydin maybe?

Joshua Clottey moved up to 154 though, right? Judah is down at 140. Saul Alvarez isn't ready. Senchenko or Zaveck aren't bad calls, but no one here knows them. Mike Jones and Soto-Karrass and Aydin make some sense. I'm not sure Randal Baily is all that much worse than them though.

Berto made alot of noise saying he'd move up to 154 for Cotto, why not Clottey? I'd bet good money that if offered the fight at 147 Clottey would take it in a heartbeat and Cintron has been campaigning at 154 too. While I know Senchenko and Zavack are unknowns, unifying the division will make a bigger statement than beating Randall Bailey.

The reason I brough up the likes of Aydin & Mike Jones, is that both of them had been in negotiations with Berto in the last year. Both are dangerous risks. I'm not sure Bailey is that dangerous a risk.

Good points. You convinced me. Clottey may make the most sense.

Bailey not dangerous?!?!? He can KO damn near anyone with that right cross.

He has not beat anyone of note add to that he is an old man, hey Urango beat him this is not the sort of fight that Berto should be taking but there is not much else out there to be honest,
