How many more 140 pounders is Berto gonna fight?

I'm pretty sure Floyd is ranked #1 by the WBC. He did have better options that's for sure. Obviously he's got to fight a top ranked guy after this. Unless of course he loses.

Floyd is ranked #1 then nevermind with that one...

[project xxx1]

He wont fight Floyd or P-Will cuz of the Al Haymon connection...

well he dont have that many options left,id like to see him fight margo

They are promoting there fighters. Theres nothing wrong with that.

Everybody that has gotten run on HBO isnt just a Haymon fighter.

Hmm... But, why is it every single Al Haymon fighter is on HBO? Why not every single Cameron Dunkin or Shelly Finkel fighters are on HBO? The only Dunkin fighters I see on HBO are the ones who are promoted by Golden boy... Why is that? Why is that HBO forces Top Rank to have a certain opponent but does not do the same with Golden boy or Haymon fighters? Can you please explain that to me so I can understand better?

Who should he fight?

Collazo? Canelo? The eastern europeans?


I am guessing hbo thinks Malignaggi brings in fans or something

Well Collazo would be a start...

A rematch is needed, Quintana or Cintron (if they were willing to move down would make better opponents) There is a huge depth of opponents wanting their shot at a WW belt to make the big bucks.

Williams is an HBO fighter. Of course they are going to show his fights.

Pavlik is an HBO fighter too. They didn't show the Rubio or Espino fights on HBO.

Cotto fought Gomez and Jennings within the past 2 years. Margarito fought Golden Johnson and he's coming back to fight Carson Jones.

All I'm saying is that Al Haymon isn't the only one to give his fighters gimme fights. I mean Berto was about to fight Mosley FFS.

Cotto also fought Mosley, Margarito, Clottey, and Pacquiao within 2 years.

Margarito also fought Clottey, Williams, Cintron, Cotto, Mosley within 2 years.

Nothing wrong with a gimme fight when you're fighting serious competition. This dude is getting spoon fed.

I guess we can give him credit for almost fighting Mosley.

Pavlik is an HBO fighter too. They didn't show the Rubio or Espino fights on HBO.

They were **** fights. Hes the 160 Pound Champ for Gods sake. Thats embarrassing.

I think those were independent Top Rank PPV's or regular cards If Im not mistaken.

[jrosales13]

I didn't know that. Makes sense as to why fights like Williams-Wright and Williams-Phillips were on HBO.

Exactly or like Arreola against some mismatches he had and Berto against the Mexican cop and some fighter name Daamgard or something like that was on HBO... If you look closely Haymon and Golden boy get special treatment from HBO... Golden boy gets blind dates... Like how you going to give a promotional company blind dates... Golden boy can put whatever they want and they will have to show it... I think that is bad business IMO... And, did you read about the rumor they have going with Khan?

Cotto also fought Mosley, Margarito, Clottey, and Pacquiao within 2 years.

To be fair to Berto, the best name on Cotto's resume when he was 26 was Paulie Malignaggi.

A fight with margo wouldn't be that bad IMO... I will like to see that fight too...
