    Bring on the a new personality in the WW picture ... I wonder how he's going to be ... will he be cocky? ... will he be humble? ... will he immediately be looking for a big money or unification bout?

    I can imagine this guy calling out Floyd or claiming that he's just as good or better than Floyd ... then making it a point to call out the winner of Cotto v Margarito.

    I still think Berto's defense is too iffy to tackle the top 3 or 4 WWs at this stage of his career.

    Berto has never went 12 rounds before ... Rodriguez has been 12 rounds before and only has 2 L's on his resume ... he's never been KO'd before and has an 79% ...

    I'm sure that Berto would be in for a tough fight ...

    Berto has a suspect chin and suspect defense ... I'm sure his will and toughness will be put to the test along with his conditioning and edurance.

    This guy Rodriguez is a Mexican fighter who's listed at 5'11 ... i'm sure that his conditioning is great and he's very durable.

    I'm not completely sold on Berto and will be looking for the upset.

    I believe that Williams will have an easier time unifying the division ... i'm not sure that Cotto (if he should win) would agree to fight Williams --

    Whoever wins this strap will only have it for a short while. The loser of Clottey-Zab will take it or Mosley will swoop in and get it.

    I don't know ... I think that Mosley is at the end of his rope ... he's going to get whooped on by one of those young bucks out there.
