The irony In your statement is, he Has trouble with fast fighters.. Berto has arguably the fastest hands in the sport, which again validate my point of people would use that as an excuse to denigrate the outcome.
Watch the Cotto fight again. That wasn't crapping the bed. That was a solid fight. Don't forget many people thought the fight was very close.

He does have trouble with speed, which makes the fight a decent style match up for Berto. But, he has a helluva chin. It would be a testament to Berto if he knocked him out.

Bailey is old though and a natural 140. I hear you on the risk/reward argument, I guess. Clottey is more of a risk than Bailey is for sure.

Do you agree that Cintron is a better fight than either of them?
