    no he just was not what the hype suggested, he is not an elite level boxer. close to gatekeeper level

    He's not necessarily gatekeeper level. He is horrendous against
    mexican pressure fighters though. If he fights and loses against
    a completely different style next time out, then yeah he's
    a gatekeeper

    why the hell does any fighter that loses on this site get labelled as a bum its ludicrous....

    maybe not elite but jeez to call him a bum is just idiotic. these are the very best in the world that have dedicated themselves for years , the obsession with losing a fight being the end of someones career really is what is killing this sport.

    I don't call a fighter who competes with world level opposition a "bum".... or even a club fighter.

    Nah, he ain't a bum. He is definitely journeyman now though, borderline gatekeeper.

    Berto is still young and does come ready to fight. He needs to fine that inner strength to seperat e him from most contenders.
