    "Berto doesn't have REAL power"
    "...just above Floyd type power"

    I wouldn't mind having "just above Floyd type power". I think you're seriously underrating PBFs power as many do.

    what a mean left hook he has on him,cant really tell much from those two fights but you can tell he is a top class technician already,great footwork in and out with the jab,puts combinations together well and of course has mighty fast hands,with the promotional work behind him,he can rise very fast and be a real challenger for a world title around 2010.

    Yeah exactly. I mean the two opponents were awful, but things still stand out. The way he threw a double left hook, body to head was very nice. He puts shots together nicely and like you said the left hook looks great. Not many fighters with KO power go to the body, and it is refreshing to see somone throw that sort of combination.

    He has physical gifts of speed and good reach, so I will be watching him with interest.

    (1) Gamboa: he has had less pro fights, but looks way ahead in his development due to that amateur grounding. Certain world champion in the near future. Total package ****.

    (2) Berto: Great speed and good power will get him a long way; I just fear for his chances of capturing a world title in the division he is in at the moment (WW is jampacked at the moment).

    (3) Khan: Very good offensive fighter, not so good on the defensive side, and there are still questions that need to be answered in relation to his chin. I fear that under Frank Warren's "guidance" he might get sucked under the bull**** WBU-90 defences-umbrella, and this could ****** his development. If he gets a trainer who is good on defence-coaching, and tells Warren to **** off, he could well come good.

    Give Khan time. He's still improving, getting stronger and more mature. In the mean time he's already the mandatory at WBO, so they might jump on the opportunity sometime in December. But Khan should hire Roger Mayweather as trainer ASAP.

    Berto is a very strong and quick figher, but I just don't see either the super talent or the charisma in him to be a future superstar...

    Gamboa has the potential and the tools, and thx to his promoter, he's already fighting on HBO in the main event. He's the most entertaining of the 3 and the most talented as well... but we'll see...
