    I'm a bigtime Judah fan but he's NOT a bigger puncher than Berto at 147. Just cause Zab raped Cosme Rivera and Berto went the distance with him does NOT mean Judah is a bigger puncher than Berto. Zab was at his best at that point and was undisputed champion. Berto has the size to fight at 147, there's a difference. Berto is the new kid on the block and deserves a break. It took Cotto 5 or 6 rounds to get Quintana out of there, it only took Paul Williams 1. Does that mean Williams is stronger than Cotto? I don't think so.

    He's just a busier fighter. And no I'm not saying brawlers can't have ring smarts, Morales and Barerra were terrific boxer/brawlers that were crafty. I said or indicated nothing of that nature, I simply said if you label a fighter with ring smarts that knows how to think, you think of a Floyd Mayweather waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy before a Miguel Cotto. And the term exposed I don't think applies to Berto right now. He's being seasoned just as Cotto was when he won his first title and it looks like the sugar man is no rush to fight him when questioned about a possible matchup.
