    Bradley is built like a Mac truck, so I think he can fight at 147. Both are about the same age, both have terrific hand speed, both have about the same amount of fights, and both are WBC champions. Berto is a bit taller, and hits harder. However, Bradley is the better defensive fighter and seems to have a better beard. This is the type of interdivisional match making that needs to happen more often.

    So who do you have in this one?

    That's a tough one to call but i think Berto's power would be the difference but it could be his chin to make the difference like you said.

    Bradley likes to fight on the inside but Berto has a very hard snappy jab that would make Bradley think twice so my vote is Berto by UD.

    Bradley would drop Berto. Bradley wins this fight.

    Berto...and Probably easy. He's stronger, and maybe even faster at a higher weight...I like both, though. I hope they never fight unless it is a huge deal!

    Bradley is unproven at 147 so as of right now i would have to say Berto. With that said if Bradley can move up in weight and fight like he does at 140 at 147then I would pick Bradley by UD. He's a better defensive fighter than Berto with a better chin.

    Has Bradley's chin really been tested by a puncher?

    Witter never really caught him flush, I don't recall...and Cherry, who I don't see as a really hard puncher, who was moving up in weight kinda buzzed him in either the 10th or the 11th round.

    Yes just like Reg said. Witter and Cherry have good power. He took their shots easily.
