      Cintron could be a tune-up
      A tune up for what??? Cintron does not resemble Mayweather AT ALL.

      Berto is ideal, dangerous but and an ideal tune up for Mayweather and Manny can pick up that 7th weight division championship, making HISTORY.

        If the title is the target, then let the IBF(vacant) sanction a ww fight between Pac vs the winner of the PBF-JMM. Any risk in between would deprive us of a super-mega fight! A tune-up is not needed.

          Cant see it but i wouldnt mind it, too me its a pick em fight! Berto would do a catch weight no problem aswell, remember he was thinking about campaining down at 140 not long ago.

          Berto is as fast if not faster than Manny, infact **** it i'lll say Berto wins this fight!

          Still dont like his chances with Mosley, Cotto,, Floyd or Margarito tho

            I can see the fight taking place at full Welter, Berto came into tonight's fight at 145. It's a dangerous fight for Manny, but one that he could win.

              Could point. Yeah Pac Could win this, i make it 55/45 in Berto's favour tho.

              Question, does Berto usually weigh in this light? He could do a catch weight but if he is normally heavier than this it coulda been on purpose to get Manny to sign to fight at a full 147 fight?

              Fight wont happen IMO tho

                I dont see it happening for the same reason i couldnt see Mayweather fighting Berto to get his belt back.

                If Pacquiao was going to fight 1 fight at full welter for a belt it might as well be Mosley. Berto presents all the risk and health hazard that a Mosley fight would...but for nowhere near enough money, and not near enough reward legacywise.

                  That's what I thought during the fight too, Berto can make 144, he's a decent welterweight and is vulnerable, if Cotto loses, Berto is a decent plan B. Obviously, it wouldn't be nearly the fight a Cotto fight would be but it would still be good.

                    If Cotto loses, it will be PBF or Mosley. Pacquiao has no time for a tune-up, he is getting ready for election next year. He needs a mega-fight at the end of this year, and his final fight would be before or after his election as congressman next year.

                    So I predict Pac really has no time nor need for tune-ups.

                      Arum doesn't want to match him with Mayweather this year, Mosley maybe. The big hurdle that would block a Berto fight is Al Haymon, Arum refuses to do business with him, he's only willing to do business with Mayweather because he'd be talking with GBP.
