Why does HBO baby a unknown fighter in Berto?

[-GR -]

Doesnt matter. You're hating on him for trivial reasons. His resume is better than Clottey's. Clottey is just hyped now because of his last fight. It's not like Berto won't be fighting a good fighter in his next fight

[fdotorres]

Fast hands, reflexes...not the slickness tho cuz Berto gets touched...and I don't see any defense from Berto really(he holds instead)

Paul Williams has no definition...one night he's a welterweight...a month later he's a middleweight...He should stay at one weight and do some work and then make some moves...

fast hands/reflexes for 4 rounds

the only thing that is fast through all the fight are his clinches

Much smaller Urango? Urango is as wide as they come. He could fight comfortable at WW



And Clottey has a worse resume than Berto. I'm tired of people overrating him just because he's a tough fight.

Clottey has fought and lost in very close bouts to Margarito and Cotto. Berto has fought Collazo. What a **** post.

I totally agree. hes very easy to hit and makes annoying noises when he throws punches. against a good puncher who can box he would get destroyed. if collazo didnt tire he would have knocked him out

HBO has completely missed with most of the fighters they've pushed in recent years. And as soon as one of those fighters loses they dump them. It's been happening for years.

All that needs to be said. His best wins are past prime Judah who hasn't had a quality win in years and a blown up Corrales. Collazo and Urango are better wins.

[Klitschko2010]

Clottey would murder Berto. Complete mismatch.

[catalinul]

Berto weighs 170 on fight night. Urango came in at 150 for that fight.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Urango yes he was 150 but Berto was 155.

He doesn't get big.Only time he as 160 was with Collazo.He was 153,5 with Forbes for example.

I like berto, I think he's fun to watch (most of the time).

He may not be as good as the other elite welters (which isn't really a knock on him since WW is stacked and berto is young) but he is talented and he comes to fight. I can see him in some entertaining fights against mosley, cotto, etc. Sure he might lose, but they'll all be very competitive fights.

Berto loses to Mosley

When has an American lost to Mosley. He choose to fight Clottey instead of Berto
