    Logically it's should be against number 3,4 or 5 on the list.

    Just base it on the ratings not on who we perceived is an easy opponent or not.

    Osai Bonsu would be a good option for a first defence. The guy has looked decent recently.

    I think Luis Collazo would give Berto a stiff examination, and would give us a decent clue as to how good he really is.

    Shane Mosley would also be a good opponent, but I believe Shane has other plans......

    Why unify with Judah-Clottey winner or face Mosley. Or Mayweather on the comeback :D

    I think if Mosley wants a belt soon, fighting Berto would be the right move. Plus it would be a greqt measuring stick for Andre. Unless Paul Williams wants a fight with Berto, the other big names have fights coming up soon.

    Mosley if HBO truly belives Berto is the truth, it would elevate him to star status. (If he wins)
    A mando #1 if they want to keep the championship on him for the rest of the year.

    Its too quick for Mosley. Berto needs to start upping his competition. Start with est. guys like Collazo, then on to Cintron, then to Clottey/Judah, then he can go against the big dogs.

    If I was his management, Shane wouldn't be in the picture.

    Agree 100% i think Berto may have the tools to beat Mosely, but i dont think he has the experience to pull it off. The line up u just wrote i also wrote it on another thread, i guess great minds think alike :thumbsup

    As a fan of Berto, i don't think he's ready for the top names of this division just yet. He's still somewhat raw. I think Collazo is a good name that a lot of people seem to bring up. Not the best but not no pushover either.

    I also agree, it's too soon...but he's a champ now!
    he should already be at that level to take on all comer's.
    it is now officialy "Berto Season" all hunter's are welcome.
