    Default Mosley shifts focus to Berto

    Now that Manny Pacquiao isn’t in Shane Mosley’s immediate future, the future Hall of Famer has turned his attention to Andre Berto.

    Golden Boy Promotions, Mosley’s promoter, has begun negotiations....

    Mosley shifts focus to Berto <--------Link

    Thoughts?
    I think Shane would do a job on him based on what we saw in the Urango fight.

    It is a shame for Shane since he is the man at Welter but it would be a good fight between him and Williams.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I think Mosley is too much for Berto; I could see Shane taking 8 rounds in a fight with Berto. Would be a great experience for Andre though; he's gotten away with some shoddy defense but Shane will make him learn to tighten it up.

    As far as Williams; I'd like to see him fight anyone but him and Shane would be great. Guy is just hanging out to dry.

    Definitely a great fight and Mosely should win, based off of the Collazo fight. Maybe Williams should be next.

    Shane Mosley all day long in this one, I am a Berto fan as well and IMO he has a good future ahead of him but at this stage Shane is just too much for him

    There both pretty even in the speed department, Shane Mosley has the power advantage. And i think its a given Shane Mosley is tougher, they've both shown good stamina in the past.

    I don't think this is as clear cut as people think. Andre Berto when he uses his jab is a very effective weapon, and Shane Mosley has struggled against a good jabber in the past.

    The one thing though that is a bad weakness of Andre Berto, and that is that he squares himself up too much on the inside. And despite being a great athletic fighter, he's quite easy to hit. But saying that Shane Mosley isn't no defensive master himself.

    I think its a pretty close fight, Andre Berto will give Shane Mosley trouble with his jab and his speed. But i see Shane Mosley's power and experience, aswell as being the better inside fighter being the difference in the fight.
