    He will become super overrated only to lose his biggest fights, with Mosley being his biggest win and only claim to fame.

    If Berto beat Mosley, I'd say Lukeo and Jack were knowledgable about boxing. Thats how unlikely it is.

    the only way he beats mosley is if mosley is super washed up, which is kind of my point. he will become overrated and lose all of his biggest fights from then on. taylor got famous for beating a weight drained hopkins and hasn't had a meaningful win since.

    Mosley would have to be super shot. Or Berto learned how to place his punches instead of those good looking combos that dont hit nothing

    Mosley should win this if he has anything left

    Assuming Mosley doesn't have too much trouble shaking off the ring rust, he will beat Berto handily. Berto is rediculously overrated. I think Berto will go in thinking his speed will get him by Mosley and get drawn into a brawl with Shane. I wouldn't be surprised to see Shane KO Berto late.
     
  8. Berto is not over rated. But this is one of those fights that could go anywhere, Berto is the under dog.

    I put money on Mosley as he's hot right now and it's the story of his career but his time has to come up sooner or later.

    that sounds like an excuse bro if berto wins he's getting credit from me because alot a people thinks he don't make it out the fight standing. thats like saying the only reason tito lost to b hop because he move up in weight. well alot of people said he was going to knock b hop out. well he barley landed a signifcant punch on b hop so i'm going to give him some credit. you don't like it then tell people to stop hyping what fighter A going to do to fighter B. then fighter A don't meet your expectation and you don't give him props.

    herbzg so whats your pick mosely by ko or mosley by ud

    me i'm undecided mosley been out the ring to long for my liking but if i had to pick ill pick mosley but i ain't sleeping on berto

    what are you talking about, taylor loss a few fights because of stamina problems. he had stamina problems before he even fought hopkins. On the other hand berto dose not have that problem. the only thing i see wrong with berto is that he dose not have the experience. Trust me he's going to dominate the welterweight devision once he get that experience and improve on defense. I don't see why you compare berto to taylor

    Berto has good skills but to me he's still small for a welter. It's his bodybuilding background and that muscular physiqhue he's got, but I don't see that chin holding up. Mosley may be way too much for him, but I wouldn't be surprised by him holding his own. He's got in some trouble when he wasn't thinking, but hey Mosley likes to brawl to. Maybe a rusty Shane won't be as sharp as we last saw and thta could make all the difference to this being competitive.

    If they give him a gift over mosley like they gave taylor over hopkins, i agree. He will follow in the footsteps of taylor. I think mosley will knock him out though, he better otherwise be subjected to a bad decision. Old cats dont get decisions against these future stars of boxing.

    Molsey beats berto in style and makes a fight with Pac or Floyd unavoidable, although......... Mosley has 3 dates in 2010 and im not sure who he will fight next before the big fight????
