    I don't know that there's all that much overlap between Berto's fan base and Mayweather's. :huh

    Don't let the shoulder roll attempt fool you - they are not stylistic brothers-in-arms. Berto has never been slick.

    Who the hell said that? Another ******* fantasy.

    Anyway, Pac is a complete clown when he isn't on his power pellets. Tell Pac to beat Bradley and not look like crap against Marquez. Then he MIGHT be able to hold Mayweather's jock strap.

    Berto's attitude is a joke.

    He blames someone else for everything that goes wrong, this is not the mentality of a champion.

    He needs to grow up or the beatings will just get worse, and I don't think he can grow up before it's too late.

    Virgil Hunter would be perfect for him. He was able to look at Khan and know where the muscle imbalances where in him and I think he'd have a field day with Berto and he can fix his whole style up

    While I think that Virgil hunter is a good trainer, he is riding a bit of a "flavor of the month" type of wave, right now. I want to see what he does with Khan first in a serious fight. Berto does need a new trainer though. Too much hype, and not enough substance. Probably self impressed with his physical attributes.

    The fact that he disrespected the shoulder roll, shows that he needs a new trainer. Big ass ninja turtle doing the shoulder roll. :-(

    I feel you on Virgil. I want to see how Khan looks as well. If Virgil is half as good as they make him out to be, then I think he can help Berto for the same reasons he'd help Khan.

    and in the words of my friends, "Berto was trying to impersonate Broner who is impersonating Floyd" :lol:

    He'll never go anywhere with those chicken legs.

    They're so weak the moment he gets hurt they're useless, not to mention his footwork is just absolute ass. He's always either squared up or off balance.

    Wow. No one seem to be concerned for Berto taking a beating. I woulnt be surprised if He starts slurring in year or so. That was some beating He took and people are thinking matching him against Maidana?

    At this point I would feast on cans to make some dollars and then retire.

    Well lets be real, they are both black. All PBF fans are black, who support all black fighters, so the natural progression to Berto and PBF fans are one in the same. These are the kinds of ******s we're dealing with here...

    Berto is a mental midget.

    He tried doing a shoulder roll on a fighter who has opposite stance. Unless he can tyhrow his shoulder-rolling side arm with stiff jab, it is useless. His punching arm is so far that it is ridiculously stupid. He is also top-heavy that it is a miracle he can even make a step forward. Dude needs to concentrate on his lower legs.

    Guerrero was dirty, copied textbook Lennox Lewis move of clinging to the opponents neck while punching the head. Stupid referee to even allow it.

    I don't see how people are saying it was a FOTY candidate. It was ugly and dirty. There was nothing technical about that fight.
