    I ask this because i was thinking about the Berto vs Mosley fight falling through then Mayweather stepping in and pretty much schooling him, do you think that the Mosley that fought Mayweather would have beaten Berto?

    I know its difficult to tell because Mayweather didn't let Mosley in to the action much especially in the second half of the fight, do you think Berto would have shut him down as easily as May did or do you reckon Berto would have been beaten or even hurt/stopped by "Sugar"?

    EDIT: Poll added.

    I thought and still think Mosley would KO Berto.

    Edit: Reason being Berto's questionable defense and chin and endurance questions. I think Shane would have taken him out mid rounds.

    Mosley would have been able to follow up on that 2nd right hand to knock out Berto. He wouldn't show anyone else the same respect as PBF.

    The way Mosley performed i would take Malignaggi to knock him the **** out. Gasping for air after a couple of rounds is pathetic.

    Mayweather got hurt with Home Depot at his disposal. Berto would get hurt and have a broken hammer and a rusty screwdriver at his disposal. Dead Berto.

    Berto would have been hit by one of those right hands early and it would spell disaster for him. He's not hard to find and very fragile.

    I think Berto has a great future ahead of him. But I could see him playing into Moselys game plan instead of his own.

    Id go with SSM

    Yeah you guys see it pretty much how i see it, i think if it had been Berto in that second round taking that beast of a right hand it would have spelled disaster for him, to Floyds testement his chin held up and he got his head straight again, Berto im not so sure about, i know every fight is different but im asking theoreticly if it was Berto in there instead of Money.

    So this might be the former English major in me coming out, but that is one of the best analogies I've heard in a while. Oh yeah, SSM by KO/TKO

    Not so sure about that.........Mosley had major problems with the crude and slow Mayorga, Vargas.............Collazo..........lost to Cotto. Berto's team picked SSM for a reason, they were looking to exploit SSM's victory over AM and have it look like he just beat a monster and get SLOBBERED on for nothing...........just like Floyd DID. Berto would have won, he is much bigger than PBF and I doubt SSM lands those bombs.........he couldn't land them on Cotto. Berto would have won and it would have been overrated just like PBF's win is now.:good

    Berto looks big but I think he only weighed like 153 on fight night against Carlos Q...so I don't think he's that much bigger. I still maintain Berto would get rocked and dropped, it would have been a miscalculation on Berto's teams part.

    I don't know before the PBF fight i thought Berto had a chance, and obviously he has a real chance, his hands are faster, but ultimately I think Shane catches him and eventually gets the KO.
