Why does HBO baby a unknown fighter in Berto?

[AntonTheMeh]

should definitely be fighting the mosley types, as well as another match with collazo.the only reason i would see the hate as justifiable is because of his belt.that's about it.for the most part i think he can be a future star.

Berto got talent, but I agree. **** him. I really wanted to see SSM **** him up. I hope Collazo gets a rematch.

Why is it that everybody is clamoring for that rematch? Collazo fought too passively in the last two rounds. I don't like Berto just like 99% of the other people who follow boxing do. But we need to get Berto in with someone that can punch. I think Angulo is better than Berto.

1. He is by far the worst WW with a name.

2. He loses to Clottey, Margarito, Cotto, Mosley, Williams, and would probably lose to Quintana and Cintron.

3. He got a gift against an opponent Mosley man handled and dominated for 12 rounds with ease. An opponent he was supposed to show his skills against.

4. He couldn't put on a show against a much smaller Urango who is basically a punching bag.

5. He doesn't have a crowd pleasing style like a Paul Williams, and somehow is treated better by HBO.

6. He has no following whatsoever.

7. He speaks french.

the truth has been spoken

[SOPH~ REP.]

agree he is overrated he fights like a small wladimir klicksko

[Mr. Ryan]

I agree in the sense that the networks should stop babying him and put him in with a guy like Cintron or Quintana, someone the public wants to see him fight. He's had a pretty soft road as a champion so far and with the competitiveness of promoters looking for dates for their fighters, why put the division on hold?

I think the fans want their champions to be champions.

I think they might be trying to put up a slight stiff arm. He aint got a date or an opponent. I dont think he will fight on Showtime so he will have to comply eventually.

Berto bites the big one.
