    Sweet Pea had 15 fights in when he fought Ramirez who had over 100 fights. Floyd had 17 fights when he fought Hernandez for the title and Hernandez had over 30 fights. Like Pea and Floyd, Reid was a decorated amateur and an olympic medalists. He had enough experience to beat Tito. However, Tito's power and that ****ed up eye lid cost him. Let's not forget that Reid was the champ in that fight.

    Both Ramirez and Hernandez were no Felix Trinidad, Reid was facing a top 5 p4p opponent, this situation was diffrent.

    Let's see how he fares against top tier opposition, he has fought nothing but C level fighters. So we dont know how he will do against the very best.

    Cotto, Margarito and Williams will all beat him as of right now and Cintron Quintana and Mosely might be to much for him as well.

    Berto isn't ready for Margarito, Williams or Cotto right now, he's still raw abit like a young Azumah Nelson (against Sanchez).

    Berto has all the ingrediants to go on and be the No.1 in the division and maybe a fight with Kermit Cintron would be a good next step up the ladder.

    I don't know about Berto, it doesn't seem like he has that hunger to be the best like a lot of future greats have. I'm just talking about what I've seen of him, but that probably means nothing.

    I need to see how Berto does against some of the higher quality WW, I want to see him fight Collazo or Quintana.

    Zab landed a much harder uppercut on Cotto in the 8th round I believe and Cotto was able to eat that, believe me at this stage in both of their careers Cotto would brutalize Berto, there's a reason why dibella has him facing a natural 140 pounder in Forbes and not a at least decent top 10 WW in Luis Collazo.

    berto's chin is fine... any one can get dropped from a punch he didnt see..

    his defense will improve over time ... 2-3 years and hell be in the upper echelon of the ww division
