    Berto is a very good fighter. Not elite, but a top 10 guy in a STACKED division.

    One punch has defined many a fights outcome.

    It has absolutely nothing to do with Floyd. I've been a Berto fan since the Ortiz days. He's a very good fighter, but he's not elite. Is anything I've said unreasonable? Just because you have an agenda when you post, it doesn't mean that everyone else does too. Floyd is retired, I could care less about the man. I'm a bigger fan of Wilder, Crawford, Spence, Inoue, Loma, Beterbiev, Charlo, Valdez, Canelo, Mikey Garcia, etc these days. Floyd is old news.

    I think Berto has a good shot to beat any of the last 6 guys you mentioned on a good day.

    It's gonna be a lot closer than most think... Fugg it seen them facing off against each other and seen a bit of "Fruitiness" in Porters eyes & swag. Picking Berto by KO.

    Styles make fights and Berto is cool as a cucumber in the pocket. His weakness is guys who stick and move. If he loses it will be on activity level, but punches will be traded. He's a good underdog bet. To my knowledge, he no longer has the injury issues which limited him a few years back.

    I will be in attendance. Anyone else?

    Considering Broner hasn't beaten anyone worthwhile at 147, I would put Berto ahead. He's also ahead of Khan until Khan actually wins some fights.

    I had Broner 11th so just outside the top 10 but i can buy putting Berto ahead of him because he hasnt beat anyone at 147 but if they fought i think Broner would win.

    I'm rooting for Berto here, hopefully by uppercut KO. Odds were generous too.

    Berto is a tough guy.
    Hes been dropped a few times and has kept getting up.
    Had a destroyed shoulder against Soto Karrass, and took a beating and kept going.

    Porter isn't a huge puncher.
    I definitely see this going 12 rounds

    Really don't think Berto should be fighting anymore
