    Berto UD, he could possibly pull a TKO out of his butt if he can get it done early...Cotto doesn't have a good chin and frankly he isn't the fighter he used to be. He got creamed by Marg, barely beat Clottey, got pepperd' by Pacquiao and beat Yuri Forman and all of a sudden he's the pre Marg Cotto again

    Hard to say...

    Classic Cotto would have destroyed Berto. But classic Cotto is gone now. The real question is how far gone.

    I think Cotto would still take it. It would be an interesting fight, but Cotto would probably have him unconscious by the 10th round or so.

    If Cotto wins this fight convincingly it shows that he still has some steam left. A close win shows that he probably only has a year of worthwhile fights (or fight) left. A loss of any kind shows that he is miles from where he used to be and should just hang them up knowing how good he was for the sport.

    @ 154lbs, I'd take Cotto.
    Anything less would be harder for Miguel in 2011.
    (But I'd still take my Boricua hermano)

    Dumbass, Collazo was hurting Berto to the body everytime he touched him inside and hes not a strong fighter. Now guess what?

    I would favor Cotto on this one. Berto gonna gas out in the later rounds. Cotto UD.
