Someone please help me out here. I know Berto was elevated to WBC strapholder with Mayweather's disappearance. But why is Forbes fighting him for the Title? WTF? I just don't get it sometimes.
It's obvious...
First and foremost, Forbes is a light puncher and a smaller man. The fact that he's got more recognition from The Contender and Oscar is just icing on the cake.
I dont think Berto's people want to match him with a big puncher. That's why I bet you Collazo is the guy they'll choose to step up against.
True. But tell me a Berto vs Judah bout wouldn't be a heater.
Ofcourse it would be but how many times would judah gets a title shot at 147? If Collazo is the mandatory why should he be crewed out again?
The thing is even if berto beats forbes judah is lined up next for him, I just think people like collazo is been crewed out of a title shot which isnt right.

It's bullshit Collazo didn't get a title shot and Forbes did.
WBC are a joke.
I agree.
But I don't think it's Berto's fault. Lot of hate on here for him. I and I just don't see the reason.
If Berto stops Forbes, I bet a lot off people on here will be changing their tune....

cuz berto and his camp dont want a possible first loss title defense , thats y. collazo , shane, cotto, cintron would all crush him. hes not a real champ just a paper champ. hes got a lot to prove.
Maybe a better question is why does Berto have the WBC belt.
When Floyd retired, he vacated the WBC strap. Berto was number one, Rodriguez was number two. Berto stopped him in the 7th. Thats how he got the belt.
because its a tune up
for collazo
Please.......Collazo is a tune up.
If he's the champ, he needs to defend that strap, not continue to build his record fighting bums.
Forbes is at most a Junior-Welter.
Did a great job in going the distance with De La Hoya for such a small guy, but that's more of a sign of De La Hoya's age than anything else.
Hope he's getting a big payday, as Berto is much too big for him, as well as being fresh.
Experience & skills of Forbes may trouble him, but if he doesn't win very convincingly or by KO, it doesn't look that good for Berto.
Would like to see Forbes try & make lightweight personally - he'd be a great addition to the mix there.
I wouldn't be surprised if Forbes came through and pulled off a UD against Berto. Forbes has paid his dues in the boxing world, I'm glad he's getting a title shot.
Because Berto is an overrated fighter who never really earned that title, and so he needs an easy opponent.
Hey Tunney interested to see you bet on Roy to beat Joe. What is your breakdown on the fight?

Well, i can accept ONE easier fight. Everyone gets an easy one. The problem is if they keep it like this. Boxing is getting sadder and sadder.
