    Man up and fight Collazo...??? lol, Berto's people were trying to make a fight with Cotto...lol. Saying Berto has to "man up" sounds a bt too ambiguous to say... Berto beating Collazo isn't going to prove whether Berto is the real deal or not.

    No, that's what your boy Dianconman does. He ask's for a fight, and then backs out with an injury. Cotto isn't in Floyd's class, and Dianconman can't beat Dawson.

    Sounds to me like Dibella wants the fight to be made. But I think that if it does happen, it should be for the title.

    Cotto already said he wants to be world champion again, i mean was the purposse of risk the rematch with Margarito if you dont get the chance to get a tittle in a fight with Berto?

    exactly that what i was trying to say, why fight Berto if he cant put the tittle on the line, what else he brings to the table, I can easy understand why he fights Margarito even if he didnt put his tittle on the line for their 1st fight, because margarito has a name and reputation but Berto? come on his still unproven if they are going for a non title fight then go for Karass as you said

    Who in the **** is Collazo? I understand he is the mandatory, but who has he beat for you to be so high up on him as a test for Berto? ****...dudes always complain about up and comers being fed tomato cans, and he's willing to fight a top 5 welter and yall on this bull****.

    Bull****?Bull**** is what DiBella is saying that Berto wanted Cotto.He is not at Cotto's level.He is at a Collazo level,and yes Collazo is underrated as usual here.Berto ain't gonna get a Cotto fight so a Collazo fight is very good.But I bet old Lou gonna make him duck Collazo and make it look like it's Cotto's fault somehow....

    Dibella didn't say they wouldn't fight Collazo...they said that they would ask for an extension on the mandatory if they would get the Cotto fight...but "ducking" and Collazo don't even belong in the same sentence. Collazo loss to Ricky Hatton who Berto would murder! And Cotto by no means is a guaranteed win over Berto...I don't care what anyone says...he struggled with a clearly faded Mosely. Berto imo is faster and stronger than mosely at this point in his career. Cotto could very well be stopped in this fight should it happen...he's coming off a devestating loss and that could factor in.

    That fight would be sensational.

    It won't happen because Arum wants that big rematch with AM.

    If both stay at welterweight than the fight will happen in the next year or so.

    Both are young and at the top of the division.

    Great fight whenever it happens.

    You clearly showed your lack of knowledge cotto is in a level that berto will never reach,,berto lacks probably one of the most important attributes in a fighter and that is his ring smarts, he is not a thinking man in the ring it is pretty obvious,,, berto is a fighter with no fluidity in his attack and only people that know boxing can see that,,, berto will just throw in flurries at times and then cruise,, throw flurries and cruise,, it goes over and over,, is is not looking to counter punch or to lookk for openings in his oponents in a more dicipline way, he cant use timing bc he hasnt showed that he can time his opponents punches and take advantages of some openings, cotto in contrast is the total oppositite and he will EXPOSE berto in an ugly way ,,, berto has many more weaknesses i just name the most important one ,, he has good speed but thats it his technique aint that good and im he is a dumb fighter inside that ring, his ring smarts are very poor,,
