    Ortiz beat Berto decisively in the first fight. The rematches gave us an ATG trilogy.



    Rematches make perfect sense as long as it's understood: whoever wins twice, that's it. You move on.

    Real warriors want a chance to prove it was a fluke.

    We need to celebrate that.
    There’s a grand canyon sized gulf of talent and experience between Pacquiao, Lennox Lewis, Cotto and Rolando Romero. It’s not even vaguely comparable.

    It wasn’t a hard fight for tank, not even remotely.

      it’s not about what the result might be in a rematch, it’s about the entitlement of it. If the guy who won, did so in convincing fashion, he should be able to decide who he wants to fight next, not be obligated to fight someone just because they used their status to enforce it. As for the fights you mentioned, morales vs pac and berto vs Ortiz were highly competitive fights. With Cotto and Margarito, the competitiveness/action of the first fight and controversy surrounding it made sense and it was years later. Different scenario.

        valid point. that was a good fight that many didn’t expect.

            Rolly fought with heart. But he definitely does not deserve a immediate rematch. He can string together some victories and earn his shot shin.

              Hmmm, his thoughts should be “easy money” and “sure”.
              Rolly punches wide and ain’t smart. Not my idea of PROFESSIONAL like Teo Teo, Shakur, Haney or Loma.

                That's the weird part. It should not have been a difficult fight but it really was.

                  No one asked for Blair Cobb 1 (Sorry, I'm Roelly Romero) so the 1st fight isn't worth talking about.

                    I see your point, but this case is not quite the same as those you cited. Romero is an up and comer who talked his way into a championship shot and got KO'd in dramatic fashion. He got his shot and lost, he should not be able to talk his way into an immediate rematch. To get a rematch, he needs to get back in line and beat some other top contenders.

                      I’m not sure difficult is the right word. It was an awkward fight he got a 6th round knockout Rolly might of won a couple rounds but I never felt like Rolly was on the path to winning while watching it still felt like Rolly would need a knockout and tank was smart not to give him a chance at it
