Ortiz is the best fighter Berto has ever fought so it would be a good win for him but its not a great win in the big scheme of things at all
yup you rite his best opponent who is really jr. welterweight coming of a draw
he could of found a better dance partner
I personally do think Berto can beat Cotto. Cotto and Ortiz have a similar style...so I guess Berto has the edge against Ortiz as well.
And please don't EVER mention the FROG Cintron again. That guy is a fkn disgrace.
lmao boy boy boy
i could also see cotto breaking his ribs and will
I can honestly say that I kind of feel sorry for Berto... He was supposed to get a crack at Shane and then tragedy struck. He is definitely overpaid... That is a FACT! However, the young lion has tried on numerous occasions to secure a big fight Pacquiao, Cotto, and other fighters... The real question here should be why is Cotto giving MAYORGA a title shot... and not trying to get a second belt against Berto. The answer to that question is Bob Arum. Bob was glad to make the fight with Pac/Shane when Shane left GBP but said himself that Sugar looked old and bad at this point just weeks before. Berto is simply out of opponents at WW...
Top Welters and what their status:
1. Mayweather has legal issues
2. Pacman is fighting Shane
3. Shane is fighting Pacman
4. Cotto is fighting MAYORGA
5. Margarito is going back to the drawing board.
6. Clottey probably moved back to Ghana and is nowhere to be found
7. Alvarez is fighting Matt Hatt
8. Aydin is unknown in the US
9. Zaveck unification would be decent BUT..... he's Zaveck
10. I thought Judah would have been a decent fill in, but he's busy at JWW.
11. Senchenko??? honorable fight against a top buck in the WW division... BUT...
Obviously anyone would be an idiot to defend Berto for fighting Freddy Hernandez and others... but you still have to give him credit for taking care of his business when he is in the ring. I think Ortiz/Judah/Senchenko/Maidana/Alexander/Khan/Alvarez are all decent matches for him. He should get Pac next if Floyd doesn't
cotto is at 154 tell berto to come up why should cotto go down
He won't get credit for beating Collazo again, he didn't get any credit for beating Collazo the first time. I wouldn't mind seeing Berto vs Clottey.
i mind seeing clottey period
But Floyd shouldn't be scared to sign that,
other than the Marquez fight where the penalty was pennies in comparison to his take home check,
hes never come in overweight.
So whats the problem?
Make the contracted weight like he did for 40 other fights,
he keeps his money.
Unless, of course, his plan was to come in heavier all along and not have to worry about exorbitant fines.
whats the problem with osdt...isn't better for the sport because someone life is at stake
floyd is so scare of pac he sign the first contract tried to meet pac half way on testing
offer 14 days!!!! pac said no simple as that
so why not just take the test if would glorified boxing in the steroid era of sports
cotto cotto cotto
this fight makes sense but i think arum is gonna match up both these guys for one more fight agaisnt someone else
and we will see cotto/margo 2 if margo could get license somewhere else other than texas
money wise this fight makes the most sense
Glen Johnson walks the super-six tournament and will most likely KO each fighter he is matched against, Skills, aggression, defence, generalship Johnson holds all the cards.
ward has the most talent in the tournament
He's willing to move up to 147 (which I dont feel he should do) to fight Pac, and isnt even crying like a 12yr old with sand in her clit about OSDT.
Does this make Floyd look even more like a scared twat? Berto is calling him out as well and isnt even crying about testing.
Now personally, I feel a proper weight for a fight between Pac and Marquez would be 140 IF Pac can still make that comfortably in order for both men to get full credit for a win.
pac can make 140
Lol, no I knew Bika wasn't in the Super Six but I was just saying that dude had 3 fights in a row in his hometown, including 2 of the super six. Does it matter if the fight is part of the Super Six? No. Because those damn biased officials will do anything to help Ward win.
Ward fighting in his hometown reminds me a lot of Sven Ottke.
cry me a river he fought the other guy's fight and won last night
IMO it was HBO not Larry that wanted the tears/drama to flow. It looked like Merchant was building up to it but was thinking how to do it (or his mind is just slowing down lol. jk).
They didn't even interview PWill when he lost.
yes they did
You've quoted me 2 times now, and I haven't understood either of your replies. What the **** do you mean?
Pacquiao, or anyone in his team, has said that they want Sergio under 150. No one.
pac did say under 150
If he did, well, it doesn't matter. Because Sergio isn't going any lower then 155.
i bet he would thats why its called negotiations you dont show all your cards until you have to
BROTHER man calm down, why u mad
he has good points thou
pac is the 154 champ if he cant make the weight than he should have never fought for that title
furthermore why ask sergio to come under 150 when he just fought margo at 150 so it is cherry picking or not?
why is acceptable for margo to come in at 150 but not sergio
Hes a WW you douche. How dare a WW want the fight at WW. No catchweights right? so he should fight Martinez at 160?
who just won the jr mw belt 2 wks ago
And today, ABS CBN news.com have a short interview article with Pacquiao, in which the fighter-congressman speaks about who he would like to fight next, in 2011. And guess what? Manny said he IS willing to fight Martinez, the very fighter many fans wholeheartedly dismissed as a future foe for the Filipino legend.
Pacquiao, when asked who he’d fight next, after taking that well earned six month break he spoke about previously, said he’d fight “anyone,” including Martinez. There is, however, a catch: Pac-Man said that if a fight between he and Martinez did happen, it would have to be fought at under 150-pounds. Pacquiao fought and defeated Margarito at a catch-weight of 150-pounds (Margarito, by the way is even taller than Martinez, by a full inch), and he says he would be willing to do pretty much the same with the reigning middleweight champ.
I thought you didn't like catch weights!? Would you prefer 144?
You missed my question as well, why do you think that HBO had the wrong fight night weight for Margarito but not Sergio?
dude why is it ok for manny to fight to fight margo at 150 but wants martinez under 150?
Alot of people had Sergio winning, me included. Alot of people has been making threads about how overrated P Will was long before this weekend, me included. It's far from the first time you're wrong, and you still think you're knowledgeable.
I think my predictions has been pretty good, way better then No Ceiling's at least. You're welcome to go through my old posts.
p will is overrated cause he got ko i dont know i still think who would be a match up nightmare for a lot of different fighters
remember styles make fight
I didn't know that, but like I said, it doesn't matter because Sergio won't go any lower then 155. And I don't think he'll ever accept 150.
Don't really see the problem though. Pac offers to fight a guy that'll out-weigh him by 15-20lbs on fight night. If Sergio thinks he can make the weight, he takes the fight. There is weight classes for a reason. Pacquiao shouldn't fight Sergio at all, just too big of a size difference. Sergio isn't fighting Huck (in lack of a decent CW) either.
i agree with this also
