    Okay I agree with you with the flaws needing to be worked on. You are right about his height. He is whitaker's height. I figured his weight with his height at 5'3. I just have a bad feeling he is going to get exposed from a top ten fighter. I just mentioned that at another thread. I love fast hands and speed, but I am telling you he is going to get careless or cocky with his hands down with a good puncher. He will learn to keep his hands up, but like I said, he will get careless or cocky.....this is the reality.

    Whitaker was 5'6.

    Also, Gamboa's no Berto. That is the guy who will be exposed once he steps up the competition. But it will play itself out eventually, and we'll just have to see.

    Berto is a bit suspect but he completely manhandled David Estrada lolz I didn't expect him to make it look that easy

    Oopps, 5'6. Berto falls into the hype job HBO is pushing. He will possibly be a champ if he fights for a vacant belt and you know why. They will put him into the ring with a top ten easiest opponent just to give him an opportunity to win the title. After that, they will milk the title until fans get tired of waiting for Berto to get in the ring with the likes of PBF, Cotto, Marg, etc.

    I hope they never put him in the ring with Cotto , PBF or even Margarito his life might be taken inside the squared circle especially against Cotto
