    I'd actually pick Berto here. But it has more to do with styles, than him being much better. Timmy the head has a much higher ring IQ than Berto, and better skills. However, Berto has big edges in size, handspeed, and power which would carry the day. Plus Timmy doesnt have the firepower to dent Berto's mediocre chin.

    Whats more is, the way Bradley ducks in sometimes I could see Berto landing his money punch, the right uppercut.

    Its a competitive fight though. And if Timmy beat him, it wouldnt be much of a shock.

    Both of them more less are homeless man's Meldrick Taylor's.

    Berto by TKO. Bradley is actually the better fighter, but this is just an awful stylistic match up for him.

    I'd pick Bradley based on his determination and superior skills. He'll probably get KD a couple of of times but he'll bring it. He always does. He's never backed up from one opponent in his life.

    man this would be a war!!! I would go berto by KO. Bradley has showed determination but he gets hit alot and I dont know if he would be able to take a punch from berto if Holt droped him. it would be close though because Berto doesnt have much defense on the inside where Bradley likes to fight.

    I say Bradley winning on points in a close fight but get KO in rounds 10-12

    He always does with the other JWW that are just slightly bigger than him. He won't be able to cope with the real WWs he is too small and short handed and his chin is not exactly granite. Berto will brake him down as Bradley doesn't have the firepower to seriously hurt him.

    p.s. if he was the warriors warrior you describe him he was not going to duck Khan

    Bradley by close decision. He seems to have decent punch resistance and has the ability to adapt to the styles he has faced in the ring so far - berto may be more naturally gifted but bradley will work him out pretty early imo

    Berto has the ability to make this a very easy fight. He won't do it, though. I just don't thing Timmy has anything on Berto. Timmy is smaller, slower, less powerful, and not much of a better defense. Timmy does have better defense, but I think their chins are about the same. I think Berto knocks Timmy out in the later rounds. If Berto gets a real trainer, he knocks Timmy out early. Andre's weakest point is his trainer. If he spent a little money on a real one, he might be somebody special instead of just another belt-holder.

    berto is trash compared to the elites.
     
  15. I would say Bradley by a convincing UD despite maybe an early KD from Berto.

    Finally a competitive match up? Ortiz Berto was pretty competitive.
