    Berto wins. Clottey can't handle speed and angles. He was flat-footed against Manny

    The only impressive performance I've seen of Clottey was against Diego Corrales. I didn't think he looked that good against Zab. I'd say a close but clear win for Berto.

    Clottey ain't fighting no one he's still spending his payoff fee from his last fight and he's a ESPN fighter about now ,who's going to pay to see him fight ...NOT I.

    Please point out more than one fight where Clottey looked good throughout the fight against a decent opponent and won, we know about him beating a small Corrales and his subpar win against a small Zab, but please let me know so i can go watch and see for myself if there's such a fight.

    That's only because of Pac's tremendous punch output. 5, 6 punch combos and punching from crazy angles. Berto has what, 2 punch combos? Apart from his speed, Berto has nothing that can make Clottey stay in his defensive shell.

    Since when does Berto uses angles? :huh
    And he handled the speed of Judah just fine.

    IMO, the Cotto v. Clottey was a real good one. Of course he was a complete ass**** in his fight against pac but that doesn't mean he never had good fights

    His fight v. Judah wasn't bad either. From one fight vs. Pac, all of a sudden Clottey is a stinker who is very inactive in his punches... WTF:patsch

    Everyone's small, these days. How dare he fight people who also fought in lower weightclasses.

    Clottey looked like a phenom in the Cotto fight, he just gassed. That doesn't mean he's a bad fighter. I really think he could take Berto if he had a decent camp.

    Well if that's the case, then the more this fight should happen. BErto gets to be tested against a big WW. Either he can be proven as an elite fighter, or be exposed as simply a hype job.

    Diego has always been small and Zab has aswell thats why he moved back to 140, it's just facts and the fact is Clottey doen't have many good wins against top fighters.

    As long as Berto is working, he will be fine. But, when he stops throwing, tires and goes on the defensive to take a breather, things will get interesting.
