Btw, Berto's team should help him work on his stamina. He must be prepared physically and psychologically for a long and grueling twelve round fight with either Mosley or Cotto.
Interesting... So we have 1/3 of the voters in a different poll who would rather see Cotto fight Berto, even though 2 of 43 voters thus far think Andre can even win this fight. :think
Well . . . in my analogy . . . Berto cannot put on the presssure that Margarito gave Cotto thus the loss . . . and I believe Berto cannot outbox Mosley the way Cotto did.
both have explosive offenses with defense not being a high priority. like zab, berto can be a fast starter, while cotto is a slow one, but like JCChavez, comes on strong from the middle rounds on up and takes control. Cotto's jab will be the key here to neutralize Berto's offense and Cotto's body attack should hurt Berto considerably. Berto might have power and speed, but he tends to get sloppy and have his hands dangerously low. should be a good one if it gets made
Cotto by a very vicious knockout. Berto lost his last fight, he got hurt badly, was given a decision, but lost. No contest.
Judging from what I've seen from Berto lately he's not quite on Cotto's level yet. My Prediction: Cotto by 9th round KO. Maybe even a lot sooner.
Cotto by UD. Berto doesn't need this yet fight and quite frankly he shouldn't want this fight either. He should be in with the likes of Qunitana, Judah, and Cintron before jumping up against an elite fighter like Cotto. In 2 or 3 more fights of seasoning his skills might catch up to his talent and he maybe ready to stop Cotto but as of now his defensive limitations wouldn't bode well.
