    Berto is smart enough to have surrounded himself with the right people who has guided him thus far so as long he takes a different approach and works on his craft, there's no reason why he couldnt build himself back up on the undercards.. He doesn't need to be a headliner.

    Every young fighter gets overrated when they are scoring knockouts and Berto is no different.

    He really needs to change his ways though because natural talent isn't going to cut it at the high level.

    Berto is a good fighter. Just no more than that though. It's crazy he was getting paid $1MM to fight on HBO, but Showtime just paid 32-year old Paulie Malignaggi $1.3MM to fight Broner. It's always a bit eye opening when you think of it that way. [What's worse?] The bottom line is that people like knockouts. There's always going to be more hype on a guy that gets knockouts. A few years ago, Berto was causing thrilling knockouts, albeit against unheralded fighters for the most part.

    Berto needs to find himself and stick to one style..it just could be too late for all that now though.

    Yeah I think I made a similar post three or four years ago he always was stuck between styles and never had any fluidity in his game. While I disliked berto for the insane hype hbo was giving him he has given us some great fights and the dudes heart can't be questioned.

    He had a few discussions with dana white already. Perhaps hes just not on it anymore.
