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

[IMDAZED]

Who is Andre Berto's manager?

Al Haymon and I doubt he'd want his young champion mimicking his established champion.

[UTFISH]

I wonder if he will insist Berto weigh < 145 lbs.

[lcheezy]

it des'nt matter who he gets. iwon't be enough.

[jetgeomcx]

berto won't spar with manny if he wins....they are potential protagonists.
if he loses...how badly will mosley punish him??

floyd will have zab judah and........ iron boy CALDERON!

it does'nt matter who he gets. it won't be enough

I think he should just play a lot of Fight Night 4 on x-box...i took Pernell Whitaker to a championship shot, and I swear I felt like he was Mayweather. Seriously! Playing Sweet Pea is the closest thing to the real Money May.

Roach would do better sticking with Khan, the 122 pound phenom Guillermo Rigondeaux, Joan Guzman, and if they were to hit a homerun, maybe Corey Spinks.

I really like your choices of Rigondeaux and Guzman for their defensive/counterpunching skills; maybe Spinks too if he reverted completely to his slick style (lately he's not as hard to hit). Manny needs sparring partners who can frustrate opponents with their elusiveness and make them pay for missing punches. He's gonna get a whole lot of that from the master, Floyd.

Berto = Bad Choice. GO AL HAYMON!!!

no way haymon lets this happen. i think mimicing mayweather's style doesn't seem like so hard a task, you just have to stick that left sholder out all day and keep the right tucked under your chin, but you can't mimic his speed. there doesn't seem to be a big fuss about mayweather's sparring partners. doesn't seem like he uses the big names.

Cintron - PR's stick together
Malliagi - Lost to Cott and Hatton
Dou billa - Miallagi promoter
Floyd Senior - Floyd's dad
Berto - Al haymon fighter, same as Floyd

Hmmmmmmm

[-Boxzilla-]

come to think of it theres no way berto is gonna be able to be sparring partner for pac. he has a uncoming fight to prepare for, if he beats ssm hes next in line to fight pbf/pac winner so u kno u wont spar is thats the case. and if he were to lose to ssm i doubt he'd wanna jump into heavy sparring that quickly after a loss especially if its a big loss ...
