    I'm not sure if you're serious. But giving you the benefit of the doubt ... He is very talented in terms of physical attributes, like strength, speed, agility and power. He is very explosive and a hard worker, he always shows up to fight in tip top shape, therefor has very good stamina. In his last fight he overwhelmed a very durable and slick fighter (but older) over 12 rounds. He is hard to really catch cleanly unless you are countering him, but this is more due to inexperience. Those are the good things. Now, for the not so great, he sometimes admires his work, some say he has a questionable chin and he really is untested at the top level. He has the physical attributes to give anyone trouble, but I still think he's a bit too green for Cotto, and Margarito would tear him apart.

    Right now he ain't ready for either guy. Although he would give Cotto a good fight for about 4 rounds as of right now.

    He has a better than average chance of reaching their level.

    NO, IMO He's nowhere near any of those guy's.
    (He is a champion so I give him his credit, But he is mearly holding it)

    My bad dude. What do I know?? That's why I gave you the benefit of the doubt. No hard feelings, some posters have me on the defensive as you may notice that in many posts I always try to answer questions I think may be misinterpreted by some people who's interest is to twist your words.

    I've been watching him since his 5th fight or so. He is very impressuve, has good skills and COULD fo a long way in boxing. That being said, he is still a little green and needs more seasoning. Putting him against Cotto, Margo or Williams would be a serious mistake at this point as IMO he us just not ready for this level of competition. Give him 3 maybe 4 more fights against stiffer, seasoned competitors and I believe the sky is the limit for this young man.

    depends on how much longer it takes for him to step up a level

    He is a good fighter but I wouldn't pick him over the top guys.If he fights Collazo we''ll know if he is top material or not

    Both Cotto and Margarito should be heavy favourites in a fight with Berto.
