By Robert Morales - One thing about Bob Arum, the 79-year-old chairman of Top Rank Inc. can ruffle feathers with the best. He was in rare form recently when he started taking pot-shots at the proposed April 16 welterweight title fight between champion Andre Berto and Victor Ortiz. Arum beefed that Berto should be defending against the winner of last Saturday's Mike Jones-Jesus Soto-Karass fight instead of a 140-pounder (meaning Ortiz) coming off a draw with another 140-pounder (Lamont Peterson). Welterweight is 147. Lou DiBella, Berto's promoter, countered by saying this comes from a man promoting a fight between pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao and a fighter ("Sugar" Shane Mosley) coming off a draw with Sergio Mora, who turned around and lost to Brian Vera. DiBella also basically suggested Arum mind his own business.
