Berto should be Pac's next fight

guru15y ago

PBF - forget about pac/floyd happening before June 2011. floyds got too much goin on right now, outside of boxing. JMM - he's with GBP which is an obstacle and let's be honest at 147-154(which is where pac is fighting with his two titles) JMM has pretty much no chance, just look at his WW fight with PBF. I know, JMM fought pac close twice before but that was years ago at a lighter weight. Pacs improved greatly since then and has grown into 147. Mosely - more popular and bigger draw then berto, JMM or martinez but is faded. business wise its the smartest fight that can made. i dont care to see it though simply becuz at this point i dont see mosely being able to be competitive. however, this is most likely the fight that gets made. martinez - i have no idea why his name still comes up. everyone including martinez himself says hes too big. alexander/bradley - lose/lose situation. nobody knows who they are and nobody would think they really have a chance to win. berto - young, athletic, undefeated champion. Yes, berto would be the underdog but who wouldnt be against pac? Yes, hes not much of a draw but its a sellable fight. i would much rather see pac fight berto then anyone else being mentioned as possible opponents.

Clottey is not a draw either! Yay...2 the same arguments everyday! QUOTE] i think the "draw" arguement is bein used when comparing the potential opponents. I dont they are sayin berto doesnt deserve the fight cuz hes not a draw, cuz obviously neither was clottey but they are sayin why fight berto when shane can draw MUCH more...

Berto is a tougher fight for Manny than any of the 140 fighters, Tougher fight than a beefed up Marquez who is Great but is being tagged increasingly more often and he is a harder fight than old man Mosley too He has done nothing to warrent the fight tho, why should he jump all these guys to the front of the Manny Pac money train? Still i wanna see it

Berto has youth on his side, along with speed and power. That's better than Shane right now. But Shane is their guy, if you are a betting man, bet the house on it. from a $ standpoint shane makes sense, then JMM. im pretty sure shane gets the fight even though i dont really wanna see it

Berto is not a draw and the Pac camp won't want nothing to do with his fast right hand. Marquez will still give Pac alot of problems cause he is so technical and can adjust so well

Berto is the easiest of all the opponents and will draw the least why will berto be easier then alexander/bradly, berto, jmm or shane? hes bigger, stronger then alex/brad and jmm. younger, fresher then shane.

Of the remaining choices I want Marquez III at 140lbs or Berto, I guess, although I think Pacquiao probably demolishes both. they are sayin that pac is fighting at 147 next. you still wanna see JMM/pac III at 147? wouldnt you rather see pac fight berto at 147 in a title unification?

its a mismatch. SM kills pac, even pwill would beat pac. they are just too big. I don't agree with that at all. I think it's a pick 'em and definitely holds more sporting value than Pacquiao versus the likes of "Grandpa" Mosley and Andre Berto. its pointless anyways, arum and roach arent gonna make that fight, lets move on to fights that can be made Sadly I do agree with this though. Pac and Floyd will never step in the ring with an opponent as dangerous as Martinez at this stage of their respective careers.

Interesting points..but I do believe Marquez will still give pacquiao trouble any weight...his style just clashes with manny and his timing is excellent, n in my book great timing beats great speed..as with timing you get accuracy.. Also even if they agree 147 pac will prob b under and Marquez won't need to come too far from 135.. But the main reason I wanna see this is to see how much better pacquiao does n if he can shut Marquez up once n for all! P.s. Berto shud fight Mosley next i believe JMM deserves a 3rd match with pac but i think berto has a much better chance of beating pac.

There's no reason why Pacquiao shouldn't fight Martinez at 154lbs. its a mismatch. SM kills pac, even pwill would beat pac. they are just too big. its pointless anyways, arum and roach arent gonna make that fight, lets move on to fights that can be made
