A side from the canceled fight with Mosley, the long layoff and the crisis in Hati, I think the really reason he did not perform and you could see it in the ring entrace was his mind was just not there and it could be the fact that he new if he won this fight vs Ortis that Floyd Mayweather was next? We see it all the time. They are thinking about the big money pay day coming and the mind goes to waist. Did any body hear of any fight vs Mayweather if Berto wins? I'm sure that's why Floyd was ring side.

Floyd was ringside because he works with Al Haymon who also represents Andre Berto.

Floyd will fight Berto this summer, mark it down.

The issue with Berto is the guy can't take a punch for shit. Berto also doesn't box, he just trys to land that one big punch. Fighting world class fighters like that aint gonna work. Put him in the ring with lower class fighters and sure line them up and he'll look good and knock them out. Berto needs a new camp, hes got speed power and heart with a ton of skills, someone just needs to work with him and bring all that out.

TRUE. In the corner, you have his trainer talking to him, trying to get him to listen, and his brother yelling in his face, "YOU'RE A KILLER!....blah blah". No place for that in a professional corner against top-notch competition.

After watching Berto vs Collazo (which Berto clearly lost) it was then that it was obvious this guy would get cracked by some decent oposition. I did bet on Ortiz (purley because he was such a huge LIVE dog +395) but i did not fully think Ortiz would win this one.

Berto is way overyhyped. When i used to see him 2-3 years ago he was a normal humble kid. Look at his last press conference video from Ortiz fight. Guy thinks hes a superstar with his outfits and his stupid comments.

In my opinion money got into his head very quick.

If he does fight Ortiz i think Berto has a big chance of winning but as mentioned before he needs a new team.

Jersey mentioned Al Haymon- great article on him from few months ago

Are you a retard? Berto's chin is horible. Berto got droped by fukin Cosme Rivera with a less then hard left upercut that put him on his ass, Berto got droped by Collazo with not even a flush punch and berto started faking like he got hit in the back of the head, Berto got droped 3 times by Ortiz in there fight and yes the first knocked down in my eyes was legit and not a trip. You think Berto right now has a chin to take a punch from Manny, Cotto, Mosely and even Floyd? Berto hasn't even fought top notch compitition to test that chin even further. Ortiz has been his top notch compitition thus far and Berto goes down 3 times.. Do yourself a favor and try taking your own words into consideration once.
