Okay, here is the most recent WBC welter rankings: 1. Andre Berto 2.Miguel Rodriguez 3. Luis Collazo 4. Jackson Osei Bonsu 5. Carlos Baldomir 6. Isaac Hlatshwayo 7. Jesus Soto Karass 8. Joaquin Zamora 9. David Estrada 10. Selcuk Aydin 11. Said Ouali 12. Bongani Mwelase 13. Vitaliy Demyanenko 14. Motoki Sasaki 15. Luis Carlos Abregu who would you like to see the first defense come against???
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......
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.
