    It has been reported on BoxScene that Lou DiBella and Andre Berto are exploring a move down to 140 since Berto can make 147 with ease. It is thought that if the right present itself and since Berto is not a big welterweight, Berto would fight Malignaggi for a JWW title or a catchweight for Berto's WW title.

    Thoughts on this?

    If Berto can make 140 he'd kill Malinagghi and Hatton. But can he really make 140?

    I dont think he would kill paulie simply b/c paulie has decent defense. he would be paulie, but paulie would put up a better fight than forbes did.

    He'd tear up the division, assuming he can really make 140, but I'll believe it when I see it.

    I know he's weighted in at like 146 and 145 at times but he won't make 140.

    Why not fight Bradley at 140?

    is just a way for him to wait for the current welters to get old or outgrow the division

    I can see a murder in cold blood outcome if that was to be true. Berto hits Paulie faster or he can very well shoot through his defense shield and make him go right into Dreamland. Someone must be jumping the gun to talk about this when Malignaggi is all set to fight Hatton and Berto has a 147-pound title and tons of guys as potential opponents .
