    Not who you think will win, but who do you want to win.

    I'm a huge Shane Mosley fan so I hope he wins the bout. Also, I think Andre Berto got a gift against Luis Collazo, so I think there would be some justice done if Mosley were to get the belt.

    I like both guys but based on longevity and respect earned in a longtime basis I';m gonna root for Mosley.

    In 10 years time probbaly when Berto is in Mosley's position he will have me rooting for him.

    im rooting for Berto because i love his offense and if he can pull one from shane...then that tells me he's been workin on his defense...which to me..is his only real flaw...berton throws the best combinations hands down right now.

    Mosley will win because he is an ATG and berto will never be better than a good fighter.

    I'm going for Berto. I've been a fan of his for sometime now and I'm happy that he's been given this opportunity to fight under the big lights against Shane Mosley. I however also think that Mosley is too much of a step up for him at this stage and lately I've been getting some Meldrick Taylor-Terry Norris flashes; with Berto casted as Taylor in this fight. Hope it's just jitters.

    :good
    :good Plus, I just can't support a titlist who can't fight inside & doesn't know how to clinch (which is what I saw in the Collazo fight).

    Shane all the way, one of my favorite fighters.

    And I really want to see him in with Pac/PBF.

    The last 18 votes in the poll have all been for Mosley.

    To be honest, I think Berto can pull this off, and in a way I would like for him to win in hopes of carrying the torch for Mosley, but we know what the Sugarman is capable of in certain types of fights and wars. The big question mark is with Berto and I got respect for the guy and how he came back vs. Collazo, but I think having Nazim Richardson on Shane's side turns back the clock for Shane and is the best thing that could of happened for him. I'm rooting for Mosley.

    I think Berto wins the first half, even wobbles Shane on uppercuts, but Shane's willingness to go toe to toe and most importantly the bodyshots and his agression will humble Berto. Berto might also freak that Mosley would take his best shots no problem cuz Mosley's been there before. Mosley takes over the second half and fights a very brave, but tiring Berto and Shane is just teeing off him. Berto might come to life, but Shane will tie him up when it gets too dangerous. I think Shane by SD or MD in a great, great fight.

    Sugar Shane Mosley, he's an ATG and my favourite active boxer.
    I hope he's still as fast and ferocious as he was against Margarito.
