    How will you do that? Torres KD'd Cotto a long time before the last crash on this site, so you're not going to be finding any posts from that era. Also, I wasn't even on the site at that time, so I had no prediction.

    So what do feel like when he knock him down? Honest answer overrated or weight drained?

    I wasn't watching at the time, nor did I gain full confidence in Cotto until after he beat Mosley to be honest. That's not the point though, I am calling Berto to fail, and that's what this thread is about. It has nothing to do with Cotto whatsoever.

    It is a point, if Berto never got knockdown everyone would have said he was a future star. But like Cotto every fight he has people will think he will get KOed

    berto is a sucker for a good left hook, his chin is soft rivera proved that already as well as his days in the amateurs getting KD all over the place, he doesnt protect his chin that is another flaw i see in berto his chin is very out there not like cotto who keeps it tucked in, and even D level fighters find berto very easy to counterpunch he has a bad habit of admiring his work, and his upper body movement is non existent it must be b/c all of the muscle he has,, im telling u bro he is a jason litzau in WW body a KO waiting to happen as soon as he steps up, good speed and good power can only take u so far there are more elements to this game and berto will soon be a testament to this

    Jason Lit thats another story :lol: , but if yall prove me wrong I will put any kind of Avtar for as long as yall want. the same will go for yall with Gamboa. So who ever gets knockout first will have to have some gay ass avatar. Yall agree

    Yes

    Berto doesn't have a great defense, and I'm not very confident in his chin.

    its funny how tha G leon idiot is overhyping berto in his website calling him a beast and ****, berto says he will challenge one of the champs after he fights that scrub he is schedule to fight, so i guess we will see him get KO sooner rather than latter

    I will agree to an avatar bet. How long are we talking though? And as someone pointed out Gamboa is probably going to be going for a title shot later this year and is stepping up the competition very quickly; Berto isn't so much. But thats ok, p4p Gamboa would murder Berto imo. As soon as Berto steps up to top 10 competition he will get beaten

    Perhaps you could expand on the qualities of one Martinus Clay, Berto's 18th opponent in the pro ranks?

    I know nothing of him beyond what I see on BoxRec - 12 wins in 36 fights, only one stopage win since 2002. Hidden qualities maybe.

    Feel free to compare and contrast to Michael Gomez, who Khan is fighting in his 18th pro fight.

    both berto and khan are extremely overhyped and will get KO as soon as they step up
