    The Taylor of now murders Berto...then takes his mother Dorothy Berto out for a nice seafood dinner and never calls her again!

    This shouldn't even be up for debate.

    Which is I did this matchup. To balance it out, we're taking a Taylor who wasn't at his best weight and had some declined some.

    Still, despite not being at his best weight and never being 100% of what he was pre-Chavez @ 140, I think the pre-Norris Taylor @ 147 has enough to beat Berto.

    Berto loses to plenty of non-great active fighters, let alone greats of the past.

    Collazo, for instance. :deal

    Well yeah, your logic is that Berto would outsmart Taylor and Berto doesn't outsmart anyone. Taylor was faster of the two, both of which rely on their speed to win.

    Yeah, if it makes you feel any better, Cotto, Williams, Pacquiao, Mayweather, my aunt Millie and Clottey all beat Berto too.

    Please! If your aunt Millie were to make 147 right now I guarantee she'd test positive for hydrochlorothiazide. :bart

    Maybe at a catchweight...
