I agree Berto IS damn good:good However he has some flaws which could pose critical with a step up in class, espescially with the style of Collazo.....could I see Berto beating Collazo? Yes but not that easy espescially if Collazo decides he wants to give it one more hoorah...and ultimately Collazo has the skills to ruin the chin and KO Berto sort of like the rusty old ******* Casamayor had the tools to put down Katsidas(please it's just an example..I'm not comparing anyone) see my point? I like Berto I just have more faith in Collazos skills than I do Bertos chin:deal
I vote in Berto of course because Louie Collazo already proved that he can't handle shorter and more aggressive guys... Furthermore, Berto is not only shorter or more powerful, he is much flashier, more accurate with his punches and he has the killer instinct... Sure Louie is polished, a lefty and rangy and that Andre is vulnerable but if Louie can't take advantage of it, what are you gonna do? Actually, what has Louie done to deserve a mandatory? What has Berto done to deserve a vacant WBC title fight with MICKEY RODRIGUES??? Just because Floyd said he was the next big thing in welter boxing, you can't give him title fights like that! This is not a Circus Godamn it!
if collazo cant take a punch from hatton.... no dam way he'd stay in the same ring with a harder punching more complete fighter in berto
He had the kitchen sink thrown at him in the first four rounds by Hatton, and was a little off balance at the time of the KD, though it was a good shot! Berto isn't a more complete fighter than Hatton, more power fair enough but in terms of skills and ring savvy, he is a bit short yet IMO. I would back Collazo to beat Berto - his resume thus far does nothing to suggest he is all that good in truth.
