    Between Berto and Lamont Peterson who do you think is the better/more skilled boxer between the two?

    It's close either way... I think Lamont might just edge it.

    Berto is a better fighter and would beat him, but Lamont is more skilled I'd say

    Peterson. Neither is impressive though.

    Peterson is a one of the last slick afro-americans :)

    Both Peterson brothers are very well schooled fighters. So Lamont gets the edge here.... although neither guy is anywhere near as physically talented as Berto and that's why Berto is at a higher standing in the sport.

    Define skilled?

    By this point I think Andre Berto has gone further in his career, I'm not sure when their careers began.
