I pick Berto. Mosley has the most problems with fighters who can box and use the jab (Cotto, DLH), when fighters come to him he is able to shine (Vargas, Mayorga, Margacheato). I think Berto has enough speed, slickness and boxing ability to pull out the decision.
I'm suprised by the amount of flack Berto has recieved this year though. A lot of people think Collazo won, and possibly he did, but Berto showed a lot of heart to hang in there and make it close. Urango was a boring fight but it was a case of 'look good in the next one' which I believe he will against Mosley.
Unless Pac agrees to fight at 147 I don't see why the belts should be on the line. It makes a sham of the sport. What's the point of weight divisions otherwise. This catchweight BS has got to stop
Marquez won't be quick enough to get inside and go to the body. Even if he does, as cautious as Mayweather is, I'm sure he will develop a gameplan to make sure his body is as difficult as possible to attack. We may see him more defensive than normal, if that's possible
Pacquiao over Hatton.The win wasn't that impressive as I was expecting a Pacuiao win but the manner he did it as impressive.
Yea that left hand to finish it is one of the ATG KO's to me. I still go ooooh every time i see it lol, but there's something about the way that JMM was able to come through against Diaz that stands out to me. I picked JMM to beat him but i'm not sure how much I believed he would. Diaz put some serious pressure on and for JMM to keep his head and wear him down was very impressive
Even if the belt is on the line, real boxing fans will recognise it for the sham that it is. I like Pac but I won't recognize him as a welterweight champ or beltholder unless he wins one at 147 and if the rest of the boxing world has any sense they will think the same.
Those who think that Cotto would face Mayweather or Mosley are kidding themselves imo. If he where to beat Pacman he would have to beat him again in order to be able to move on.
I bet it's in the contracts already.
lol you got to love the Internet where people can just make anything up. Unless you were present in the negotiations I don't see what basis you can have for making this claim
Pac with the catchweight. It would make boxing look foolish if someone who wasn't a welterweight and didnt want to fight at welterweight was able to win a welterweight title
With the punishment he took against Calzaghe and the beating he took against Roy he is definitely done. But you make a great point TS. Calzaghe couldnt KO him and Roy couldn't floor him. If only his skill matched his heart he'd be P4P number 1. I've got great respect for Lacy.
It's good he recognizes that. Surprisingly a lot of ppl seem to think P Dub will get knocked out. With his movement, workrate and ability to punch from awkward angles I'm predicting he'll comfortbly outpoint Pavlik. If he could make Winky look ordinary, who's a much cleverer boxer than Pavlik then the Ghost should be simple work for Williams
lol I don't understand Spanish but unfortunately this whole episode just shows the incompetency of the alphabet organizations. Between teh sanctioning fees, stripping holders undeservedly and multiple champions in one weight, they're all as bad as each other.
