    Berto vs. Collazo
    Berto vs. Ortiz


    I don't know about you guys, but Andre Berto is on my must watch list, lets hope HBO does not overpay him for fighting lesser opponents. Berto vs. aggressive fighters make for exciting fights. How about Berto vs. Aydin or Berto vs. Maidana next?

    I think they are working on berto vs zaveck so that would put him back in the picture.

    Damn, that'd be a dangerous fight for Berto seeing as Zaveck is not really a name in the US. I actually think Zaveck would have a very good chance of upsetting Berto, and two consecutive losses against men he were favorite against would spell doom for his continuing run at 147lbs. :think

    Because he is a ****. Trying to floss like Money May. Apart from Collazo and Ortiz who the **** has he fought?? Hand picked ****ing cans thats who. He is a pretender.

    I like Berto but yes, like many others in boxing, he don't seem to get in with the best.

    Very suprising pro-level hater like MrMagic don't hate him for this...

    There is a small number of fighters I dislike, Berto is not one of them. What is your point exactly? :think

    99% HBO's fault, The other percentage point goes to his shitty management team.
    Berto himself seems like a Good dude, HBO simply pulled a Michael Grant upon him.
    (Thus people were expecting lightning to come out of his gloves)

    The HYPE was too big.
