Would You Be OK With and Give Credit To Floyd If...?

Nah. If Berto beats Mosley, than Floyd and Berto will be 1 and 2 in the division. Regardless of if Mosley looks old, Berto will still have done what he had to do. Floyd will still be taking on a young, undefeated Welterweight who just dethroned the reigning number 1 WW. Even if people didn't group Berto with the other top WW's, it'd still be impossible to give Floyd shit for taking that fight. It's a meaningful fight. you're absolutely right..... ppl want him to fight shane, so it's only natural that should berto beat shane, berto would be the logical opponent.... but i've already seen posts of ppl saying he "doesn't need to fight berto." like i posted, pac's the best fighter in the world, mayweather beats him, he can fight whoever he chooses after.

I would give him all the credit he deserved if he were any bit humble.

IDK man, I think more people will say that Mosley got old overnight. Hardly anyone seems to be high on Berto and I dont think anyone puts him in the class of Mosley, Cotto, Margarito, or Clottey even if he does win that fight Nah.

if mayweather beats pacquiao, he should get credit enough right there.... pacquiao's better than berto and mosley, so should floyd beat pacquiao, he doesn't HAVE to beat anybody else, to get credit...now that's from real boxing fans....of course the haters will always be clammoring for him to "prove" himself. he's really in a no-win situation...berto beats shane, then it'll be "shane was old, how good is berto really?" if shane struggles and beats berto, like you said, "it'll be, now he wants shane b/c he's vulnerable." the only way the shit works, is if, like you said, shane demolishes berto. even then, floyd beats shane, and they'll still point to shane being 38 or 39. pacquiao, in the eyes of many, is the best fighter in the world...mayweather beats him, 'nuff said right there.....he can fight whoever he wants to next. Yeah, I wish it was that simple but alot of clowns will still claim that he hasnt beat a good true WW even though most think that Pac is the best and he beat a still very good Oscar at 154

he beats Pac, Berto beats Mosley, and Floyd fights & beats Berto? Im asking this because I think Floyd's team has made it clear that they want a Mosley fight. However, I know that if Mosley loses to Berto then no one will give Floyd credit even though he clearly stated that they would fight Mosley. With that being said, Berto is severly underrated on these boards and if he beats Mosley then I think everyone will just automatically say that Shane got old overnight. I also think that they will either criticize Floyd for fighting Berto or they will accept the fight but not give him much credit for it if he wins. I think they will say that he took the easiest guy out of Margarito, Cotto, Clottey, and Shane even though he just beat Shane and I think he's easily better than Margarito & Cotto are. With me its like I truly believe that Berto may be better than Mosley right now and I could see him winning but I almost want Mosley to kill him because I know thats the only way that Floyd will get credit. If Berto wins and Floyd beats him then they will diss it. If Mosley barely wins against Berto then everyone will try to say that Floyd just wants to fight Mosley now because he thinks he's vulnerable. The only possible way that Floyd gets any credit is if he beats Pac, if Shane kills Berto, then Floyd has to beat Shane. Anything else and they will downplay it like always. If Berto wins, I can see all the threads now. "You Know Floyd Was Praying For a Berto Win and is Super Happy That He Won". if mayweather beats pacquiao, he should get credit enough right there.... pacquiao's better than berto and mosley, so should floyd beat pacquiao, he doesn't HAVE to beat anybody else, to get credit...now that's from real boxing fans....of course the haters will always be clammoring for him to "prove" himself. he's really in a no-win situation...berto beats shane, then it'll be "shane was old, how good is berto really?" if shane struggles and beats berto, like you said, "it'll be, now he wants shane b/c he's vulnerable." the only way the shit works, is if, like you said, shane demolishes berto. even then, floyd beats shane, and they'll still point to shane being 38 or 39. pacquiao, in the eyes of many, is the best fighter in the world...mayweather beats him, 'nuff said right there.....he can fight whoever he wants to next.

sure i would prefer it why would he fight the loser? I didnt say fight the loser. Im just saying that I dont think people will give him nearly as much credit for a Berto win as they would for a win over the other WW's. Im not even sure he gets much credit for a Mosley win if Mosley barely scrapes by Berto but maybe Im wrong so thats why Im checking the pulse

If Berto beats Mosley impressively, there is nothing wrong with Floyd fighting Berto. Hell, that fight would crown a lineal champion at WW, people would be clamoring for it.
