    I was wondering HBO is trying to make BERTO into a superstar and is failing miserably.

    They should feed Saul Alvarez Berto at the end of 2011 after Saul Fights Senchenko and M Hatton at 147....

    Then pick up Alvarez as the next big start with HBO, he is more marketable.

    Just a thought.

    I'm not sure Alvarez is ready for someone like Berto, frankly.

    Power vs. speed is a good match up. No easy fight here.

    Maybe by then. I'd like to see him fight Hatton. But what I'd really like is to see him fight a quick fighter who is somewhat limited, just to see how he handles speed. Someone like Said Ouali, Ashley Theophane or Shamone Alvarez.

    Berto beats Alvares. I'm Mexican and usually a little bias with my country men, and I still don't see all that much from Alvares. He is good, but the hype is tremendous.

    Alvarez is the goods. He does get alot of hype but its because he is 20! and already fights like a mature champion.

    The kid will no doubt be a champion. He has the skills and as he showed heart of one. I think even now its a 50-50 fight with Alvarez taking it at the end of 2011. We are talking about a Berto who was intimidated by Urangos power who is a 140 pounder. Alvarez is a huge WW with power to boot. His speed is also good.

    Alvarez will be the new DLH except more fan friendly.

    I hope GBP takes the Berto ladder to success & Keeps feeding Alvarez bums until he is 27.
    (Let's see if "Canelo" get's away with it)

    "feeding" him berto? I think the guy is overrated but if canelo had that kind of attitude about this fight he'd get KTFO.

    Bums? He is a 20 year old who has faced very good opposition for his age.
    He just KTFO out of Baldomir who was the lineal champ 3-4 years ago.

    He has been fighting some C B level fighters because he is young and didnt have much amateur experience when he went pro.
