Berto along with Haye and Khan are the most carefully matched boxers around.
Khan? He is only 23 give him a break he has faced legitamate opposition @ 140. His first fight was at 140 was a World title fight against Kotelnik who gave Devon Alexander a hard time. His next fight was against his #1 Mandatory Salita who he annihalated. Then faced another Top 10 in Paulie Malignaggi who he destroyed. He isnt facing Maidana because they agreed to a 3 fight step-aside deal so after Khan faces Marquez or Ortiz in December you will see him in with Maidana (Maidana needs to fight again after Corley to finish his 3 fight deal).
But agree with you about David Haye and Berto because they are in their primes.
how is he Cherry Picking when it is guys like Cotto and Mosley who are actually rejecting fights with him
then the BULLSH*T about him "Pricing himself out of fights" simply because he asked for 50/50 with Mosley who was coming off of a loss against Mayweather and was no longer champion
hard to say someone is Cherry Picking when they have actually contacted the top fighters in their division at147 and none of them wanted to fight him at this time
that 147 division is not even that good, besides Mayweather, Pacman, Mosley and Berto, what else does that division have, please list some 147 guys he should fight, nobody wants to see the Selcuk Aydin fight because I guess people don't know Aydin well enough, nobody wants to see him unify with Jan Zaveck or Vyacheslav Senchenko I guess, Clottey is a true Welterweight and is available but I haven't heard ANYTHING from Clottey and after his last performance I don't even think HBO is interested in Clottey right now
then many of you are full of sh*t, some say fight people in his division then some say go up to 154 and fight Angulo...WTF which one is it exactly and who's to say he is comfortable at 154 now
going down to 140 might be the smarter move, I wouldn't mind seeing Berto fight the Winner of Alexander vs Bradley, and how in the f*ck is that picking on smaller guys when you are the one that is actually going down in weight?
also Berto vs Maidana at 140 WTF is wrong with that? I think that is a good match up
The welterweight champion will NOT be fighting Maidana at 147. Believe that.
OK I dont understand how he is a cherry picker when he was gonna fight Mosely earlyer this year? now there talkn about him fighting Maidana who is a dangerous fighter. David Haye is a str8 *****, far from wat Berto is, David Haye talks so much **** to the K Brothers then fights sum1 else if he wanted to fight 1 of the brothers it would hav been happened.
"Gonna" is the key word.
Well if every fight was made by your "rules" then Pac would never gotten to fight any guy that was in a division above him....Let you tell it you can't go up or down in weight.....And your statement that "pacquaio has proven himself against great fighters" is true....However he had to move up in weight to do it. But that's only ok for him?
If you can make the weight....FIGHT!!! You guys and your hypocritical "rules" are funny to me.
Couldnt hav said it better bruh!
Because Berto is planning to bring a fighter up from 140 to fight him and berto only fought at 147 in his whole pro career where as pacquaio jumped how many weight class. And the thing is pacquaio is not even thinking of fighting 140 fighters. He still wants floyd.
The difference is that pacquaio has proven himself against great fighters. Really who has berto fought.

I agree with everything you said. And I want to know how is it ok for everybody at 140 to be in the discussion when it comes to fighting Pac at 147 and it be ok.....but it's not ok for Berto to fight any of the top 140 guys?

I wouldn't say he was even the biggest cherry picker in the welterweight division. But he really hasn't fought a big fight or dangerous one yet and has been champion for awhile.

The biggest moneymaker in the sport is a ducker, so other fighters have realized that to eventually make the big money, you have to talk trash and stay undefeated, which results in ducking top competition.
Mayweather started a trend, Pac was sent to end it.
Berto-Clottey seems logical to me, but i'm guessing Berto wouldn't dare step into the ring with a real Welterweight.
No, that won't happen. Clottey is actually a guy who'll step in the ring with him for 50/50 deal. Berto would probably demand more though.
