READY FOR THE 'BIG ONE'?
When asked directly what he thought a showdown with Pacquiao would look like, Berto stated "it would be a great showdown because he (Pacquiao) has never had to deal with my type of speed and power combined. Some of his opponents had one or the other, but you could make an argument that I'd be the first with that kind of mix".

Pacquiao would beat him worse than he beat Cotto in the later rounds.
lol, imagine berto gassed and hurt just stumbling all over the ring reaching for something to hug.
"you wanna hug some more? BANG"
I figure Manny would beat him but he needs to step up to the plate eventually and truly test himself against the best. I would rather see Manny beat up Berto than Margarito though.
Make no mistake about it though berto would have to fight the best fight of his career (by far) to even stay in the fight.
I agree...
Like I said before Berto needs a new trainer....
Berto isn't ready, he would get knocked out.
Would be a fun fight to watch though.
Berto isn't ready for Pacquiao, Floyd, or Shane for that matter.
Berto is far from ready, but it would be impressive if an Al Haymon fighter said **** it I want the best right now and I will take risks to try and be the best in the sport. Actually, if Berto did this people should give him mad respect even if Pacquiao brutally KO's him.
if he's not ready now, then he never will be. he has a belt, now he needs to fight with the guys at the top.

let's put it like this...if berto can beat pac...collazo can beat pac...now say that shit out loud and hope you don't get struck by lightening...berto better be trying to face margo next...

berto is ready. he's fought a ton of southpaws. he's explosive, fast, and powerful. he doesn't have a lot of skill, but he does hae a lot of athleticism. berto is very strong.
also he's black and as flomos say, pac isn't any good against black boxers.
I agree with the power part. Pacquiao definately hasn't faught anyone with the power of Berto. As for the speed, I think Berto is over rated in that category.
Stop saying Berto isn't ready yet, too. You have to step up at some time. Otherwise your just never ready. Its dumb to say he isn't ready when he is the wbc champ and is still undefeated. C'mon, i'm not even a Berto fan but really.
Pacquiao would beat his ass though. The speed of Pacquiao would get to Berto so much. It might look like Pacquiao-Diaz in there.
yeah but there's stepping up then there is being fed to the wolves he'd get a big payday but he'd be massacred and it might end his career
think about the level of competiton floyd, pac and mosley have faced then think about berto's resume
he struggle with collazo who mosley dismantled
alexander showed what you are supposed to do to urango if as good as you say you are
what is berto 26?
at 26 years of age mayweather had beaten castillo twice, corrales, hernandez, jesus chavez ....etc
what has berto done that even comes close to that?
he's not ready and probably never will be
Berto has real bad footwork for me. Hands fatser than what his legs can do
Your power won't trouble Pac, but your speed might.
As for who wins.
Not even being bias, Pac by KO.
nah..
Berto is too easy to hit man.. He tailor made for Pac. What Pac will have trouble with is an elusive counterpuncher like Jr. Not questionable chin easy to hit Berto.
Pac will take one flurry from Berto, smile, then unleash devastation.. and have Berto backpedaling the rest of the night en route to an inevitable stoppage
Pretty much..
