Comments Thread For: Roach Will Try To Get Berto For Pacquiao Sparring

[El Castigador]

They've got eough money...why not try and get Sergio Martinez?

A 5-11 southpaw.........

To imitate a 5-8...right hander???

Pac and Roach should not be worried about speed....

They need to have practice aginst a fighter who is elusive and very hard to hit.......

You cant miss Berto......

The perfect sparring partner is Joan Guzman..no one else.

If they try to have Khan and Berto imitate ****ing Mayweather.....Pac will look like a deer in head lights come March.

While Mayweather is a defensive genius, Roach also understands that Mayweather will tie Pacquiao up. Berto is known for landing the 1/ or 1/2 and clincing right after. On top of that, Berto has quick hands. You gotta remember, Mayweather ain't gonna allow Pacquiao to get off.

I'm talkin about the speed and deadly precise counter punching that Floyd's gonna put on him. Obviously this is only a portion of his sparring prep. He usually uses 4 or 5 guys, no?

Have you ever seen Berto fight?? Do you really think his style is similiar to Mayweather's?? He has speed but hitting him is very easy.

Most Pac fans really don't watch much boxing.

Not what I'm getting at, look at Roach's intentions. He's going to try and create the best sim for Pacman.

i would also try joan guzman as well!! but i think he's with goldenboy and they aint having that!!

[IMDAZED]

Why would Berto agree to that? Wouldn't he like to fight Pac one day? And why would his advisor agree to it when he advises Floyd as well? Why would Roach even trust that? Weird things, I tell ya.

Berto won't spar with Pac.

He wants to fight Pac possibly...but he's too big a name nowadays to just spar.

Especially if he beats Mosley.

De La Hoya used Mosley as a sparring partner for Mayweather...too big a name?

roach wants to get berto because berto will run and potshot (ala his fight w/ urango)
