The boxing world may only be waiting for the former world welterweight champion, Andre Berto, to serve the undefeated Floyd "The Money" Mayweather Jr. his first loss, if they face in September.

The confident prediction that the Hatian-American boxer, or any other fighter for that matter, could actually beat Mayweather in the rumored bout was made by Berto's own training coach, Virgil Hunter, ThaBoxingVoice reported.

"Anytime you got a fight going, you got a good chance. Berto's a good puncher and he's re-motivated. He's been winning and winning and sometimes it has a lot of positive effects... Personally, I feel he's coming into who he is. He's understanding a lot more things and working harder than he ever has. He's starting to understand the mental part of the game," Hunter told the site.

The 147-pound fighter, who destroyed Josesito Lopez via a 6th round knockout on March 13, at the Citizen Business Bank Arena in California, also believes Mayweather can receive a beating from him.

"For damn sure it would be a good fight. I'm one of the only guys who can match him speed for speed and everyone knows me for having explosive power. It's going to be a lot better than that Pacquiao *** that you had," Berto said on TMZ Sports.

Just recently, Forbes' 2015 World's Highest Paid Athlete named Berto as one of two boxers he could get to have a showdown before he retires.

"We're looking at two different guys. We're looking at Andre Berto, Karim Mayfield. We just don't know. Those are a couple of names... We just have to wait and see," Mayweather told reporters, including FightHype.com.

Some boxing enthusiasts think that Mayweather is not serious  about his announcement involving Berto and Mayfield. However, Los Angeles Times reporter Lance Pugmire posted on Twitter that so far, Berto is the "leading candidate," but the World Boxing Council (WBC) Silver Welterweight Champion Amir Khan, who openly wants a clash with "The Money," is also now a strong contender.


Berto's trainer understands the game well and Mayweather's strong voice in negotiations. Hunter also knows that he and his own prized boxer should just be ready, in case they will be put on the spotlight this September.

"Floyd's entitled to say what he want to say and we have to respect that. But me personally until something is actually etched in stone, I'll just keep doing my thing. I'm not going to sit at home and ponder. If it's a go, it's a go, if not it's got to be somebody," stated Hunter.
