Berto and Mosley go at it on Twitter

**GrantZilla** Mon Jan 10, 2011 2:52 am

Berto, the WBC welterweight champion, seemingly got the scuffle started on Saturday night, when still smarting from the Colts' loss to the Jets in the AFC wild card game, he tossed a jab at SSM.

"Still mad," he wrote to his Tweeple, and then promised he'd go to the bathroom and look at a "pic of this old man." "This old man" was a doctored picture of Mosley, looking as ancient as Red Foxx on Sanford and Son.

"Don't get mad at me because your team got knock off like you would lol," Mosley replied, and the Twit hits started to fly.

"Look at this pic closely by time i finish wit u this pic will be a reality," Berto responded.

Mosley, who will contend for the WBO welterweight crown on May 7, scored the first solid toss, when he wrote, "By the time you fight anybody of note we will all be the old!!!!!!"

Berto returned fire. "U already old that's why u want to fold," he wrote.

Of course, followers of both fighters jumped into the fray, making it more like a WWE clustereff than a snap-swap with Queensberry rules.

Antonio Tarver even popped up, to referee. He was assured by all that it was all in good fun.

The action continued on Sunday.

"Listen next game I'll put up 100k and u just put up your retirement pitchen let's go," Berto wrote. Mosley was ready with a hook. "Berto Berto you know I make way more money than you that would't be fair. keep your little Money i good. LOL," he Tweeted.

Berto got his share of scoring blows, though. "Lol this twitter battle is alot more entertaining then that @SugarShaneM vs Mora fight and that mess was on PPV..SMH..REFUND PLEASE!!!!!" he said.

He elevated the nature of the ribbing, I'd say, when he referenced Mosley's "old lady." His followup was even more pointed. "Let me ask u a serious question are u still juicing up? 'I mean on the roids? It's just me and u talking nobody will know."

When Mosley didn't answer immediately, Berto wrote, "*Crickets* Awww I guess that's a touchy subject hu.. Shane just do like Margartio say u didn't know. We'll all believe u lol."

Mosley chose the high road, and said he'd finish up after watching some football, and recovering from the "low blow."

Berto exulted. "Lol ok people it seems team @SugarShaneM has waved the white flag.. Win for #TeamBerto.. I hope everybody enjoyed it.. Have a beautiful day," he wrote.

Is Berto Freshman from ESPN?

And is it requirement that you not be able to spell to have a Twitter account?

I am kinda starting to dislike post divorce Mosley.

Both guys came across looking stupid out of that exchange. Leave the twitter to the tweens.

Guest Mon Jan 10, 2011 1:21 pm

Berto's a naive young man, I can forgive his stupidity. Shane should know better, and Berto's not the only person he argues with on twitter, he's even had a go at Porkie.

Berto has quite a mouth on him for a guy who hasn't really looked impressive against anyone of note.

Wasn't it Berto who pulled out of the Mosley fight?

Yes, but that was because Andre had lost family members in the Haiti earthquake.

Is it the trauma of those losses causing him to come across as a low class punk on twitter?

No, but once people can spell properly they generally upgrade to articles, magazines, or books.

I don't mind the twitter wars. I like them as much as the media reporting that so and so said this. Berto's not pulling any punches. Nothing beats video or face to face confrontation though.

LOL this is actually pretty funny. first time Berto has entertained me since the Collazo fight.

flapanther2001 Mon Jan 10, 2011 9:33 pm

Mosley may be the all time worst trash talker in the history of boxing.

so true and he probably lost that fight (on my card).

Twitter has actually helped keep the spice in boxing, you've got people like Khan and Berto who'll argue with other boxers on twitter which might help hype up future fights.

Shane fought in the wake of a divorce and his wife taking his kids away. I don't care what the circumstances are/were Berto has no platform to talk shit to a guy that's fought everyone over three different weight classes when Berto's fought nobody over one.

I kind of agree. With lack of major media coverage for most boxers, it's way to talk some mad shit to some rivals for a fued match.

Days of Ali-Cossell are over. Shits all online now.

Froch needs to get twitter ASAP.

He should let his wife do the talking. I can only imagine what happens when those two argue or fuck. I hope they live far from their nearest neighbors.
