Berto: "I Am The Best Welterweight In The World"

duh he thinks that he is the number 1 WW a win over steve "show up to get paid" forbes isnt really a eye opener..when he beats some more guys (if he can) then we can agree or disagree

 

Zab, maybe.....Zab still has KO power, Cintron the same. Mosley will not lose to him. Quintana will get frustrated with his speed, Collazo will lose due to being away from the ring so long and yes I know he fought about twice with who? Cotto, Marg, and Williams will beat him for sure. Cotto would do a Zab on him. He is fast, but too hitable right now. If he is high on just want he is doing, then he will definitely lose by KO to one of these guys. I like his style, but his defence is horrible.

 

Actually, we don't really know how hard he hits. I just know Berto's defence is horrible and he will not be able to take on Cotto's assaults. KO in the middle rounds.

 

That sounds great, but remember that Cotto will be his mandatory soon.

 

C'mon guys.... Berto's defense is NOT horrible. The level of exaggeration is pretty ridiculous at times...

 

for sure eh? no doubt?? no way...maybe dec

 

If he takes on Cotto at this stage in his career he's gonna get his ass kicked.

 

whoever voted none is a moron...there is NO WAY zab or collazzo can beat forbesand all the others would be competitive...I see him beating quintana and mosely due too his youth and energy and the rest just depend on styles...BUT ZAB???? that guy gasses after 6 rds and berto is a ball of energy nonstop

 

yeah horrible...the guy has never been beat...how HORRIBLE can his defense be

 

Yes, mentally he is completely done. He has zero ability to cope with adversity. For all of Berto's alleged weaknesses, mental fortitude doesn't seem to be one of them. While Di Bella is saying he isn't ready for some of the bigger Welters, Berto is saying he's on par with all on them. He's a tough kid, and he won't fold. Judah will fold once things stop going his way. Physically, he's still got something left in the tank. However, he's not the same fighter he once was. His defense has gotten worse, his stamina is a big issue, and he doesn't put his punches together like he used to.

I'm a big Judah guy, but he is horribly overrated on this forum. Even physically, he is not the fighter that people make him out to be.

 

You're correct, his defense is definately not horrible. It's certainly better than the Punisher's. The biggest problem with his defense that I see, is that it doesn't come naturally to him. He has to concentrate in order to be good defensively. He'll have lapses out there and get caught with shots he shouldn't get caught with.

 

I think he can beat collazo, cintron, and judah its no way especially at this stage he can beat williams, margarito, cotto, and clottey. Quintana is a hard fight to call but if berto is able agressivly apply effective pressure early (like cotto or williams did the 2nd fight) then I like berto. The only advantage to doing this is he probably have to throw more punches to try to hurt quintana and time himself less which could result to him abadoning his good boxing skills, but to be fair quintana really is not a power puncher so maybe it isnt a bad idea. If berto is unable to finish him he is in for a long night which would then become more of a 50-50 fight (to berto advantage he got some nice experience in fighting a very slick boxer in forbes) in a mosley fight I favor mosley slightly say 55-45.

 

He is entitled to his own opinion

That statement with a couple of "I thinks" clearly reflects . . . he is not 100 % sure of his claim.

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

 

Um, no.

 

Good points made. ^

Stylistically, I would give Judah a chance. Berto is willing to let it be a tactical shootout, and the Judah that gave Mayweather trouble might show up, but for how long - that's something you have addressed well.
