    Who wins between these two? I'm curious as to who you think is the better of the two.

    Is Bradley at the top of a shitty 140 division?

    Is Berto in a 147 division that has too many superior names?

    Or is Bradley that good and Berto that bad?

    Just some food for thought :D

    This is a very interesting fight, because neither is really big relative to their respective weight classes. Berto is the more physically gifted one, but one would have to think that Bradley is more skilled, adaptable, and has the stamina to bring it Berto throughout the fight. I'm not sure how well Berto would be able to handle that pressure.

    Bradley all day.

    Bradley is a small JWW at 5'6" but Berto is a small WW at 5'8". And Bradley already defeated 5'9" fighters in Holt and Peterson. Bradley has intangibles like desire and the heart of a warrior. He'll outwork Berto IMO. Berto, as gifted as he is, is a head hunter and is so inaccruate with his punches. He almost landed nothing on Urango for Christ sakes. I know Bradley gets wreckless at times but his intangibles would get him through. He's just a better fighter with more heart.

    I like Bradley, but I'm not 100% on that. Berto has alot of mass on Tim.

    I think Bradley is better overall, more proven, and is more in his prime but going to 147 to fight Berto might be asking to much, Berto is faster and a hard puncher, plus hes naturally bigger. I think Tim should stay at junior welter.

    Hmm, VERY interesting match. Berto is bigger, but I believe Bradley is overall better. I'll need to think.

    Well, Bradley is about three times the boxer but Berto has welterweight pop and elite speed. If Holt can plant Bradley on his butt, so can Andre. It'd be interesting to see. Berto can stop him but he absolutely cannot outbox him in any way.

    Berto by knockout. Why? Because Berto is bigger and hits harder and Bradley's chin is kind of suspect... although I will concede that p4p Bradley is the more complete fighter as of this moment. I just don't think he'd fair well moving up in weight, at least not now.

    Me too should make that fight happen. Don't know how Bradley would look though moving up in weight against someone like Berto, He should take a tune up at welter first.

    If he's matched properry he can reign at 140 for a long time. There's no need for him to move up in weight.

    I actually think Holt is a very underrated puncher, lets not forget he started his career at welterweight and is big for a junior welterweight. He has one punch knockout power, hes just a horrible finisher and lacks focus.
