    I think thats slightly harsh on the Haiti Kid lol

    Ok so Andre Berto was over protected and did go completely soft on us this year when he turned down a career high pay day against a average fighter...Maybe the money he never earned, and the title he never deserved and the pampering he got from HBO got to his head lol But he's not THAT bad, he does have talent, alotta athleticism and with maturity could become a very good fighter. You've gotta give him credit for at last maning up and taking a challenge.

    I get the feeling with Berto that the burden of that green strap might weigh to heavily on his young shoulders, he handed it before he was ready for it.

    I see where coming from though because when turned down that fight on a proposed Mosley/Clottey undercard and he gave the reason...HE DOESNT WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT ON CHRISTMAS lol i was one of the people who said..."no need to see this kid in the ring hes already a loser" lol

    this is a great fight

    two similar styles who like to engage

    i think Berto will surprise people and win

    too young and fresh for Mosley

    The only chance of an upset is if Mosley is seriously rusty coming off a year long absence, and Berto has eliminated the errors from his game that were very apparent against Collazo and Urango.

    Shane is a gym rat. Any fan worth there salt should know that. He's like Floyd and Hopkins. Even when taking long layoff's Shane is NEVER out of shape. Berto's getting steamrolled thats real.

    I've been wanting to see this fight ever since Berto and Shane fought on the same card last year. Mosley kinda said he didn't want to see this young kid, in the post Mayorga fight interview, but of course those were for the obvious reasons of Margarito and dollars. Now that Shane has been boxed out of the Cotto/Pac/PBF playground, I hope the Berto fight is made. Damn what a clash of possible changing of the guards....NOT!

    i'm looking forward to this fight

    anyway what happened to that Taylor pulling out thread you started?

    i hear Taylor will pull out and has already made the decision

    i was gonna post it in that thread to save me attempting to start a new one

    can anyone confirm Taylors already pulled out?

    I don't know, but it seems to have disappeared for some reason, probabily moved or deleted, don't ask me why.

    I don't think Taylor's made a decision yet, way too early yet.
