I think this is the 'tune up' He has had a few tough fights, but was spoonfed Gomez prior to Margarito - an easy fight
Not sure Berto has the pop to ko Cotto. SO yes, he should take that fight if he can. He'll probably win.
Well, Cotto has fought, in reverse order since 2005: margarito gomez mosely judah urkal quintana Malignaggi Branco Torres Abdulaev Corley and then it gets more obscure. my point being that he's had a baaaad shakeup after an amazing resume, and my gut tells me that, like kessler, cotto will be a bit shakey next fight. he's look great, but will kick his own ass everytime he thinks he makes a mistake, which could make him sloppy, etc. i think a berto fight would be too much for him right now.
I can't beleive that most people voted for him to take on Berto, well as a fan I can beleive it. But as a manager do you still see it that way?
Dont fight Berto . I say tune up fight,,,he deserved its not like he has been fighting no names for years.
This would be a terrific fight and I think a fight Cotto could win, but it's definitely no gimme. I also agree a tune-up fight would make a lot of sense.
exactly i highly doubt that Berto's Camp will put him against Cotto right now. Later after a couple fights probably they will call him out
Berto's managers would be afraid to put him in with Cotto right now but I would love to see it. They could probably put him in with El Indio instead
I think Cotto would win by TKO, but its a risky fight and he doesn't have much to gain by taking it. Berto is still unproven and unknown. He'd be just as good taking a rematch with Judah or fighting Collazo maybe, or even Cintron.
