    he still would be a paper champ IMO. It would be a good win I presume, but it shouldn't do anything to change his current standing. Berto already proved he belonged in the WW division with his fight with Collazo (although I had collazo winning that fight).
    Mosely is the real champ of the WW division IMO, I don't agree with Pacquiao's standing as no.1 but... I digress

      No.. If he beats him convincingly. Not like he did with Collazo.

        That was a long time ago.

          Double standards? Was I one of those people?

            the real champ is Manny, and the winner of the may 1st fight will definetly have a front running spot towards the number 1 spot. This fight is more like a tune up, and measuring stick to see where berto stands. If he dominates it will show his skills, and if he struggles it will also show his skills, yet not in such a good way.
            NOPE
            Floyd Mosley is for the #1 WW spot buddy

                There is absolutely nothing Berto can do against Quintana to make himself the real champion at welterweight.

                    Why would you quote me and try to refute my point by saying it's a double standard? Only in NSB.

                      Judah shaked him early and was coming off a year lay-off, but don't bother, people will be hypocrits.
