At this point I'm goin' with Berto in a close fight. Bigger-stronger-just-as-fast. I could easily be swayed over the next couple of fights though, depending on their continued development. Does anybody think they are done? That either or both are as good as they're gonna get? What about their corners, etc.? Who has the advantage there?
Berto's too big and too quick for Bradley, but he'd make it a competitive fight. Bradley's even a little on the small side for 140, much less 147.
I think Berto has a lot more room for improvement than Bradley. Bradley's very technically sound, but has some physical limitations. Berto needs serious work on his defense still, and his worst attribute is worse than Bradley's worst attribute, but other than that he has a lot more natural physical talent than Bradley.
Very well said. I can find little to object to in your analysis. I would add that I have a hunch that Bradely has the better beard of the two. But maybe that is a moot point as Berto has the size advantage.
Good Thread, although Berto is bigger, and probably more talented ( I mean physical abilities) I think Skills pay the bills, and assuming Bradley makes the move up to welter effectively (which I think he could) I think he could edge out Berto in an entertaining decision.
I hear what you saying I like both fighters also and if they were to fight in the future I would want it to be looked at as a mega fight.
Bradley definitely has the better beard. No question about that one. Bradley's bear appears to be pretty solid, while it's pretty well established that Berto's chin is a little shaky.
bradley more power. berto more speed. 1 can offset the other. difficult outcome to try to predict. must c if ever made.
