    I think you have been smoking too much reefer man... berto has stamina issues??????? Thats news to me..

    Did you watch him fight Collazo ? That fight was at an insane pace... and at the end of the fight it was Berto going off with almost the same speed he had in the 1st round... he nearly TKO'd collazo with that body shot ,

    Hey maybe your're right, but Berto did looked really tired in some moments of the fight, maybe it's just the way he looks...

    Some surface similarities, but two very different fighters.

    For one, Berto doesn't have the kind of size Taylor did. From day one as a serious contender at 160, he was seen as a huge middleweight. Berto is average to small at 147.

    Berto is a little better technically than a young Taylor, but can't cover his flaws with athleticism to the same extent. It's the reason why his people know better than to call out guys like Shane or Miguel, the elite at 147 all drill him right now. They've got the right idea. Defend that belt, then maybe wait for someone to move up or for a name to fall out of the sky. Judah would be a decent test for him.

    you're right, he did seem to coast through a couple of the later rounds.. as if he was tired... he may have been.. but seems like he has a second wind, where as taylor just gets worse and worse as the fight goes on.

    I can see it however Berto is a better athlete, and I don't know where you get off questioning his stamina. Everytime I have seen him fight it has been allright, not great, but nothing like Taylor.

    Also Berto has shown a pretty good chin, especially in his ability to recover from a shot.

    Berto has more stamina but less skills than Taylor. At the rate his promoter is moving him, his career should be over like Taylors fairly soon.
