    Andre Berto hasn't fought anybody and that's a fact. Nonetheless, Berto believes in himself and in his ability to be the best whereas Louie Collazo can't really believe that losing 10 rounds to Shane Mosley or losing a WW title to Ricky Hatton or winning that same title by close margins against a meaningless title holder will somehow give him any sort of edge considering the Berto fight. Louie is another of those fighters that relies more on exposing the rising star than proving anything to himself.

    Let's consider that he was robbed, so be it - what does that prove in terms of the Berto fight? Is Louie supposed to go down from aleft hook seconds into the fight or is he supposed to wait to the very last minute of the fight to sneak in with his counter str8 shots from leftfield? Louie is the one who has been exposed by the combination of power, short & sharp punching, lightning handspeed in combination punching by old man Shane and that is a clear indication of what can be expected against young Berto. Anyway, I do prefer flashy and slick Collazo than Rivera, Trabant, Rodrigues and Forbes altogether and I do wish him well.

    Berto pulls that **** against Forbes or a shot Trabant etc but He really would have a tough time with Luis and I'd really favor Luis to win.Berto feels some big risk/low reward too and will duck him nonetheless like the coward he is

    assuming luis does not go to sleep for 5 rounds like he usually does, yes he has a chance to win back a title.

    Collazo is focused and determined after being the victim of politics and bull****.. He will put on a clinic against Berto and make him his *****:deal Am I the only one that remembers Berto in his last fight? The ****ing clown was gassed after 4 rounds!!! Collazo has stamina that is other worldly in comparison:deal

    Yup Collazo has great stamina he was the one damn near KOing Hatton in the 12th before he was ****ed over by the judges and ref for no KD call,fought a furious 12 round pace in a win over Rivera,got a beat down for 12 agianst Mosley even dropped yet never once did he appear tired.

    Berto has nothing to fear when it comes to Collazo. I see Berto winning 116-112 UD over Collazo who is not a big puncher and just has above average boxing skills.

    I can't believe how Callazo's skills have been elevated to pretty much ATG status around here, and Berto is just a tomato can.. Very interesting.. :huh

    As much as I like and respect Callazo, I just can't picture him handling Berto. Berto is underrated around here IMO and I think he's gonna put the hurt on Callazo and beat him fairly easily. I think Berto will earn a UD - maybe 8-4 or something like that.

    Then why is Berto seriously contemplating ducking him so much?It ain't a brainer Luis will give him his toughest fight to date
