Does this not seem about right? Clottey is clearly a top 5 welterweight and Berto is en route.. if not there yet... It would be a another step up for Andre and title shot for Clottey, who could parlay a victory into a rematch with Cotto or possibly a bout with Mosley.
I think the fight is tougher than most think. Berto is built better for boxing. His footwork and handspeed would give Clottey fits. He just has watch out for that massive head.
Yeah but he doesn't counter well. Clottey would block most of what Berto throws. Berto doesn't have the power to hurt him either. I think Berto would have a much better chance against Cotto.
Clottey doesn't have the power to knock Berto out. This looks like an even match-up to me at this stage of Berto's young career. Experience: Clottey Speed: Slight edge to Berto Power: Berto Footwork: Even Defense: Clottey It would be good for Berto to beat Clottey and then possibly get a shot at Mosley or Cotto (if he's still in one piece after Pac smashes him).
this would be an awesome fight but clottey would definitely take it. i would love to see it get made.
No doubt about it??? He's maybe had 2 knock-outs in the last 5 years. He would probably out box him, but not get the KO.
Yea i guess it seems right. However, i think berto beats clottey in a split decision. Also, I'd like to see clottey meet P. Williams at 154, which clottey would also lose.
Yes, he would. Berto is not a good defensive fighter and Clottey would manhandle him. I'd put $$$ on the UNDER in this one.
