In fact, Mayweather was recently named the world's highest paid athlete by "Forbes" magazine for a second consecutive year. During his extraordinary career, he has amassed wins over world champions such as Manny Pacquiao, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Arturo Gatti, Zab br Judah, Oscar de la Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, Robert Guerrero and Canelo Alvarez.br br Andre Berto (30-3, 23 KO's), of Winter Haven, Fla. is a former amateur standout and 2004 Olympian for Haiti.A veteran of eight world title fights, all at 147 pounds, he won the WBC Welterweight World br br Title in June 2008 and made five successful title defenses over the next two and a half years before losing the title in April 2011. Berto won the IBF Welterweight World Title in September 2011. Style-wise, the 5-foot-7 Berto is expected to adopt an aggressive approach with a high punch output, similar to the strategy employed by Marcos Maidana in his first fight against Mayweather.
