    Jan Zavek and Andre Berto

    Berto would get stopped quite impressivley by Pacquiao and Outclassed by Mayweather but would draw in some good PPV numbers however what about Jan Zavek?

    Havent seen much of him and only know of him because hes the IBF champ

    Berto vs. PBF would make a good fight. I would give advantage to PBF, but only by 3 rounds in a UD. Prolly smarter for berto to fight old man mosley 1st for another payday before he risks his 0.

    Berto would get obliterated by either Floyd or pacquiao. Berto has been supremely overrated since winning to CQ. Quintana was good but not anymore due to his inconsistent level of activity in the ring. Quintana was dropped 5 months earlier in the second rd by Jesse Feliciano, yep, the same guy with a 17-8 record or something like that! So, imo u can't judge Berto based on that fight , better do it by his previous with Urango and Collazo, two guys that while good, they are nowhere close to the real comp @147. Not to mention that Collazo actually beat him according to a lot of ppl!

    I would of really liked to see Berto Cotto TBH , i think that really would of been a great stylistic clash and just the right fight for both fighters , but its all to do with business !!!!!

    This is a tricky period for Berto , he stands on the brink of being an elite WW , but does not have many options in that bracket @47 , if you take Floyd and Manny away , thats assuming they reach a deal .

    Interesting to see what Di Bella has in store for Berto , he's not one to tread water !!!!!

    Someone said it right with "Berto brawls too much". Ain't that the truth. The dude needs to incorporate more movement into his infighting or he's just gonna get ****ed up by boxer-types.

    Berto would get annihilated by any of the elite WWs, IMO. I think he's always been overrated. He hasn't been tested yet, so I could be wrong about him, but I highly, highly doubt it.

    And I have no idea about Zavek... never even seen him fight. I'll have to look him up.
