    QUOTE..................................
    The powerful 25-year-old Floridian replied to a follow-up query with an unmistakable view of where he truly fits in.

    “Yes, I think I am the best welterweight out there,” said Berto, who defended his WBC share of the 147-pound title for the first time with a wide points win over Steve Forbes.

    “I believe it, and I know that in due time I’ll be able to prove to everyone else that I’m No. 1.”

    Flicking jab. Straight right hand. I’m the best.

    Mssrs. Margarito, Cotto and Williams… deal with it.

    “I think I have the total package when you combine speed, power, agility and the ability to adjust to any sort of style from the opposition,” he said. “I’m the first of the new breed of fighter in this weight class and I’m eager to make big fights with the rest of the big names out there.”.............................IS HE CRAZY!

    aslong as all the top guns suddenly retire or move to light middle
    margo
    cotto
    clottey
    williams
    mosley
    collozo
    quintana

    Did he actually say these bits as you've not put them in quote marks. If not as I suspect thats pretty misleading post there you naughty boy, - trying to start an agrument are we?

    I got no problem with his confidence but if he is saying these things he should be looking to fight some of the big boys. If not Marg, Williams Cotto then Clottey, Moseley, even Quintana or Cintron. Not Collazo.

    His fans will say he needs a couple more fights first but if thats the case, shut your mouth! The belt already puts a big bullseye on his head, why run your mouth and risk getting thrown in with the best fighters in the division? I think he may be able to hang with them but he'd be better off getting a couple more fights under his belt first.

    If he didn't keep getting floored and knocked out in sparring Berto might be a top 5 welterweight. As long as he is carefully protected from the beasts at 147 he is a brutal knockout in waiting.
