    26-0-0- 19 KO , Step to the top tier? String him along for another defense?
    Revisit a questionable win?

    You decide...

    Throw some names out there fellas.

    In my opinion he should look at his corner and make a decision on whether he will keep developing with them or if he should go with somebody else. I believe he needs to look for another corner.

    I like this thought. I think he needs to defeat a worthwhile gatekeeper in a decisive fashion before stepping up to the likes of Cotto, Mayweather, Pac, Mosely, etc.

    He should fight Collazo again, since everyone knows he lost that fight. Berto will get knocked out by Mosely, Cotto, Pac, etc.

    I agree, I honestly think Mayweather Sr would be the perfect guy to have in his corner.

    That sounds like a winner.

    New trainer. Dibella both represents Cintron and Berto, so that good possibility or some like Quintana.

    my thoughts exactly, before it is too late. He really hasn't gotten better over the last year or two and he is running out of time before he has to take his shot at the elite level and he isn't there yet.

    Next fight, I'd go after Cintron.

    Mayweather snr. would be perfect for Berto.

    He's fast and explosive. With that Mayweather defense he'll be a beast.

    A much needed loss.

    I think it is too late for him to be a defensive fighter but he could pick up enough to at least let his skills take care of the rest. Right now he is just way to easy to hit.

    Urango isn't exactly a bum but he shouldn't be getting to a guy with Berto's tallent almost never.

    Contrary to what Dibella says about seeking a big payday in his next fight, I see Berto matched against someone along the lines of Judah, Collazo, Quintana, or Cintron. This is the level in which Berto needs to be operating on at this stage of his career and not against Mosley, Cotto, or Mayweather. I have a feeling that Cintron might make for a viable option and perhaps fight at the same venue that they both fought at on Saturday. I was at the fight and both guys were well supported.

    Agreed. I'd like to see him with Roach who obviously transformed Pac from a speedy and raw puncher into a complete fighter. Maybe he could do the same with Berto whose still only 25. And I see Cintron as a viable option as well.

    none of the top dogs want to bother with him, so he'll just have another defense, doubt he'll face Collazo again though.
