From ESPN convo board, can anyone in the Philippines confirm? Apparently they've been discussing on Filipino radio shows that the reason for the delay in the opponent selection is that Manny prefers Berto over Mosley but Bob doesn't want that fight. This goes against everything I've heard thus far, I thought Mosley was a shoe in.
I won't knock a Pac/Mosley fight but I'd rather see Pac/Berto. Pac has done the "slow flat footed brawler" thing too many times to get my ppv money again on it. If pac/berto I will buy. If pac/mosley I will stream. It's that simple.
Though I am against this match-up, I will buy pac/mosley. It is boxing, sometimes decisions don't go our way but once a decision is made, I will support it whatever.
Pac/Berto is what I am hoping for... good chance it might happen.:boxing:
i dont kno....could be a cop out. if manny wants berto and he cant get him, he needs to leave top rank. for all the **** he's done for arum, hes single handedly keeping the top rank brand up. he should be able to get whatever fight he wants.
why the fukk does he need top rank when he owes a lot from them?....pac is a man of principles unlike some of any of some a dumbass family........
It's going to be one sided. Pac is going to make quick work out of Berto. It won't go past 6.
I should've put more emphasis on boring. I think Berto would make it more interesting than Mosley.
There's two reasons why I think he'd pick Berto over Mosley:
1) He doesn't want another boring one sided fight.
2) Berto's got a nice belt with Manny's name all over it.

Really? That might be a reason why he prefers Andre over Shane- that (own)record-breaking 5th lineal title definitely sweetens the pot. That's great for his legacy.
I was saying the same thing. And the reason why I would want Manny to fight Marquez at 135 is so he'd steal his lineal title at that weight too. lol, but we know that's not going to happen.
Manny does like to collect belts. He wants the green one Berto is wearing.
Also, if Floyd doesn't fight by May time, Pac vs Berto would be for The Ring belt.

Get that stupid **** out of here. Only retards and blind haters would truly expect Pac to fight Martinez as he is now. Martinez can't come down to 147 and Pac gets murdered by Martinez if Martinez gets to weigh in at 155 or greater.
So in short you know he will lose so you dont want the fight just like them lmao. If Martinez wasn't that good or lost his previous fight there would be no objection
None of yall was talking scared for Marg

Kirby;9813137']If Pacquiao picks Berto, and goes against Bob Arum's orders....I'll be shocked. If this is true, maybe Manny isn't a fraud like I thought he was.
Your favorite fighter is JMM. A guy who admittedly gave Pac two of his toughest fights. At lower weight classes. Now Pac is blazing through bigger guys...guys who would most probably demolish JMM as JMM has shown that he can't effectively carry weight beyond 135. Yet Pac was/is a fraud? You're a winner.
both are crap choices in my opinion
BUTTTTT
berto is def better then mosely at this stage in his career
its time for manny to start fighten off the youngens
good step
