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

It does speak for itself. Anyone who knows boxing, will know that Berto is not the best Welter in the world. Forbes is a guy who shouldn't even be boxing as high as Welter. I would say LWW is maximum weight class Stevie should be boxing at.

Time will tell just how good Berto is, but currently, I do not see him giving the likes of Williams, Margarito, Cotto too much trouble. I could be wrong, but we shall see!

 

I would like to ask Andre who the **** doesn't believe in himself and specially when he's undefeated and offered a WBC title? Berto fought a coupla bums and was WBC nº2 Contender, Floyd beat Hatton and flapped his wings down south where the sun doesn't shine and Berto was given a most meaningless shot at a major title belt with Micky ****in Rodriguez and he is given another opportunity against that midget Forbes who fought Hoya before... Berto beats Clottey, Judah and Collazo on flashiness and should be lobotomized before talking about anyone else.

 

Stupid Berto, he has some nerve believing in himself.:verysad

 

I thought DiBella said Berto was not prepared to fight the Mosleys and Cottos of this World before he took on Trabant, Rodriguez and Forbes... Those three fights must have been a major boost for him so that he changes his position now.

 

Berto and Di Bella are not the same person. Di Bella is a business man. He's looking at Berto and judging his talent and his career from an objective point of view. Berto is a fighter. He's not going to be as objective when it comes to himself as is Di Bella. Berto truley believes that he can beat anyone out there at Welter. Di Bella knows he's still a work in progess. Berto never put anyone down. He basically said that he believes in himself, and that he will prove himself in due time. That's the attitude that fighters should have. Everyone thought Mayweather was crazy when he was only 20 years old and claiming himself to be the best fighter on the planet. People thought James Toney was crazy when as a MW, he said he would win a HW title. Fighters are full of confidence and bravado.

 

Berto is no Cotto and that fight was very close. Not a comparable situation. If Mosley fights Berto which I think will happen, then Mosley is going to come in on a seek and destroy mission. Usually when HBO puts on two separate title fights, then this means that there is a very good possilbility that they will meet very soon.

 

:good EGG-****IN-ZACKLY! :good

Cotto beat Mosley, and not really in dominant fashion in a lot of people's minds. And he beat Zab, who ain't really **** in the grand scheme (with the help of low blows)... How was this guy ever regarded as the #1 hot ****??? He's a really good fighter, but I don't know how anyone could have picked him against Margo, and I don't see how he is an automatic guarantee over Berto. He should be favored, but not heavily...
