Berto will receive his asswhoopin next year then the winner of pac and floyd then clottey after that paul williams
i think this will be his last fight. great fighters have one last great fight, and shane's was against margorito
His first hurdle with Berto the guy that was dropped by cosmo riviera. The guy who got a boxing lesson from collazo give me a break
So? He hardly got a 'boxing lesson'. I felt he beat Collazo by a point, 7-5 without the stupid point deduction. And Collazo is a tough fighter, strong, a crafty southpaw and tough to hit clean. Mosley struggled with a past-prime slugger like Mayorga, and would of lost on my card without that last gasp knockout. Listen, I'm a Shane fan, but I'm looking at this fight from a logical point of view. Berto is quick, confident, strong and maturing every fight. He showed against Collazo that he should stick it out and come through a tough fight, battling through and winning the last couple of rounds to earn himself victory. He showed against Urango his developing maturity as a fighter and his ability to box. Yes, Urango is no Mosley, but Berto showed discipline, focus and the ability to stick to a gameplan in nulifying his power. Now to beat Shane he'll have to be at his best, but I think there's a chance. Beating Margarito was fantastic and I loved watching every minute of Shane's performance, but looking at it in hind-sight, Margarito was tailor made for him. Shane is primarily a brawler if you look at his style, and Margarito certainly is. But Margarito was appalling defensively and open to right-hands and left-hooks all night, in fact any punch Shane wanted to through, he couldn't miss. It was the perfect fight because they are both come-forward guys, but Shane had the edge in experience, power, speed, even defense, strength, everything. Berto is not tailor-made for him. He's not a guy that's going to walk into Mosley's punches, Shane is going to have to go looking for him and setting them up. Berto is quick of hand and feet, strong in being able to tie up on the inside as he showed against Urango, and able to maintain a pace for 12 rounds. Mosley is definately going to have a fight on his hands.
It shocks me that so many people keep talking about Shane Mosley and his struggle against Ricardo Mayorga.I was not shocked,I saw that coming as soon as that fight was signed.If you have access to that fight watch it again and you can see Mayorga did not want to be in that fight,he wanted to make it a ugly street brawl,wrestling match anything but boxing.Ricardo was diving in grabbing holding as if he was about to fall down a flight of stairs.It is hard for a fighter that came there to use his fist to fight an animal that came in with no plans of incorporating any points of the sweet science.
Berto and Mosley shoud be a good fight,I am looking foward to it but I think Shane takes this one but I would not be surprised if Andre pulls it out on points.
which one is the hurdle.. Mayweather? Surely your not refering to Berto. Berto will be as much of a hurdle as jumping over a twig is a hurdle
No, I didn't. Your point is? You need to learn to read. First the Pavlik thread, and now this. Hence the words 'in hindsight'. My prediction had nothing to do with styles, and frankly it was rushed. It was to do with form and the fact I thought Mosley was pretty much done.
If williams joins the line will shane exit the line like he did last time, hell yeah he will i like mosley a lot but he blatently ducked williams like most of the ww division did
