    What do you guys think?

    At this point in his career, I think he gets easily stopped by all 3 of these guys.

    Clearly not ready, and may never be ready.

    Margarito would walk straight through him.

    Cotto would easily time him with clean shots.

    Mosley is too seasoned for him.

    He needs to learn to use his speed to his advantage by boxing more. He is a small welterweight and cant expect to pressure the elite fighters.

    calm down buddy. Hatton??? Pac??? you're going a bit far there. Hatton has no business at welterweight and Pac is probably too small. Judah, that's a toss up.

    you're right about Clottey though.

    He can beat Cintron and Judah. I'd give him at least a puncher's chance against Manny.

    I'm not so sure he can beat Kermit b/c of Kermit's size advantage. I also dont think Berto has much pop in his punches. Kermit could KO him. Notice Berto was getting caught with those straight lefts. Imagine a straight right from Kermit.

    Williams might be the worst matchup, just on length and activity. Even though Margo would likely put him away in a more dramatic fashion.

    I think Cintron could also have success with Berto. If Kermit was right and he could drop some bombs, that might be the shortest fight of any of these.

    He can't beat Manny. Quintana is a toss up. Cintron is a dangerous fight. Judah he can beat.
