How many more 140 pounders is Berto gonna fight?

It is really unbelievable that we can't see certain fight because of promoters and managers. That **** is de****able.

It really is bro... All they doing by that is hurt the sport... they not giving the fans what they want to see cuz of them acting like they're on there period... Straight acting like females... But, they have tried to work together... Top rank and Haymon worked out a deal for Pavlik-Williams back in Dec. It just that Pavlik pulled out... But, for them to work together I honestly don't think Arum and Haymon can be negotiating... I think when they try to get a fight done Arum stepson Todd Dubeof and there matchmaker Trampler handle the negotiations while Haymon fighter promotional company handles the negotiation on there side. So at least they are smart enough to do that...

Arreolla was an up and coming Heavy. You have to showcase this guy hes a mexican heavyweight.

And again with Berto they are grooming him and Williams and Dawson to be the faces of HBO in this decade they have to get fans familiar with these guys.

Really Dawson? I don't see him fighting the Urango's and Malignaggi's on HBO... I see him fighting top 5 LHWs... Now back to remind my soul comment... Why are they grooming Berto? How come they didn't try to groom Pavlik the same way?

Arreola? I understand with showcasing but against McCline? Really? What did that really showcase? That how undisciplined Arreola is?

question what is the source for this Paulie-Berto fight?

I dunno who his #1 is, but I think Aydin holds some interim or international belt. But isn't he scheduled to fight Collazo?

I've heard the same thing, but I have yet to see anything official.

[jrosales13]

His ass aint winning....lol. And you know it...lol.

Then why fight? Why have the fight if the outcome is already known?

But, they don't owe Berto anything... Berto owes Collazo a rematch more then Mosley owing Berto a fight... But, either way I don't care if they are really trying to groom Berto he should fight the winner of Collazo-Aydin... Him fighting Shane will just end in him getting KO'd...

[T-97]

He won the vacant belt vs. a bum... Miguel Rodriguez.
He's defended it vs. Forbes... Collazo... Urango... and now, Malignaggi.

And people still can't get over the fact that Floyd took one tune up vs. a LW coming off a 2 year retirement?

Collazo is the only Welterweight on that list, and he put Berto through hell (I personally had it to Berto by 1 point). But, if Berto can't find anyone else, he should rematch Collazo. It was a very close, entertaining fight, the rematch would attract a lot of viewers. Berto-Malignaggi? FUCK that...

People cant have it both ways. First they said he was green during the Mosley hype now when he fights a lesser opponent hes ****.

Nobody is saying Berto fighting a rematch with Collazo is ****... And, if they are then they are just dumbasses... Nobody will have a problem if he was fighting a WW... But, this would be 3 of his last 4 fights against JWW... The other fight was against a WW where he went life and death with... Yes IMO he was not ready for Mosley but Collazo is not on Mosley level... Shane is a top 3 WW arguably the best, Collazo is in the lower top 10. Is not having it both ways. You can not compare the two... Like I said Berto gets more credit from me for beating a Delvin Rodriguez then beating a Paulie Malignaggi...

Dibella already shot down the Berto-Pauli stuff a while ago. BUT if they did Im almost positive its just a easy fight to get ready for Mosley.

[Gonzalez_Boxing]

Meaning that at 26 the best fighter on your resume can be Malignaggi, and by 29 you could have fought Pac, Marg, Mosley, Judah, Quintana, etc.

Damn, I really need to start giving Cotto more credit for his 147 resume.

I guess only time will tell, but we're talking about his willingness as a welterweight champ to fight a welterweight now, and as of right now it's looking like he gets and is willing to take another easy pass.

Had an earthquake not killed 8 of his family members he was willing to get in the ring with the Number 1 WW.
