The Berto Question

[WitherGlove]

Why do people hate Berto so much? Anything goes I will reply back if it makes any sense. Broken English I can etc.

becuase he acts like an atg but sucks ass againts oppnenst he was expected to destroy...collazo, and juan urango...i mean ****ing juan urango of of all the people.......

people don't hate berto they hate his career. He's a paper champ who is grossly overpaid fighting lesser opponents, three of the opponents he's defended his title against have came up from 140 pounds. People just want to see him fight live opponents and challenge himself for a change.

Every fight is a learning experience. And when in position as and underdog, usually the better opponent slacks while the underdog works harder. Look at Cavs, they recently beat the heat despite the heat playing well and we all know the Cavs suck. In the end it's about motivation.

Respectable answer. I feel the same way. But honestly if u were paid to fight a bum who u know u can outclass would u do it? And who's fault is it? The fighter or the people paying him?

cause he's over-hyped and over-paid with a huge chip on his shoulder despite not having done ***** to deserve it.

It's because he's overpaid and the fact that he's been in our TVs for the past 3-4 years and hasn't fought a top fighter. Collazo, who is a very good fighter, but not p4p material was the best guy he ever faced. And Berto barely won that fight.

Ortiz is his best opponent since Collazo, and he's yet another 140 pounder moving up to challenge for Berto's "title."

I personally have nothing against Berto, and I actually like him as he's a pretty exciting fighter most of the time, but the guy needs to step it up and fight some real competition. He's the easily one of the most protected fighters around. I can't blame people for getting tired of hearing his name when he's fighting cans.

This is true, but in all fairness what star in boxing ain't protected these days. I blame the Owners, managers, and promoters.
