More dangerous opponent for Pacquiao: Margarito or Berto? Official Poll!

[jrosales13]

I think Berto deserved the fight more, I think the Berto fight would have done more for Pac legacy, cuz he is a top 3 WW(how weak is the weight-class if Berto is top 3?), a undefeated prime title holder, and it would be a chance to unify.

So Berto deserved it more, out of these 2 fighters, Berto is the one that should be fighting Pac this Saturday.

But, I think Marg is a bigger risk... Pac would dominate Berto with much more ease than he would Marg. I see Marg lasting the distance and even busting Pac face up, I don't see Berto going pass 5 rounds with Pac.

I chose berto based on speed
when was the last time that Pac faced someone with speed?
its been a while
Berto lands that uppercut and you could see Packy on ***** St!
but I still think Pac would take this fight

Speed? your saying berto has speed? Cotto is 3x as fast as him and would spark him out right now.

Berto has no chance

Berto fights in small spurts. Pacquiao fights for every minute of every round. Another reason Margarito makes a good opponent is he has the endurance to keep up with Pacquiao. I think if Berto could fight 3 minutes of every round he'd be much more viable. For that reason, Mosley might even have a better chance of beating Pacquiao. If fans can forget Mora's trackmeet.

did you see bertos last fight !!!!! it was in miami and no one was there LMAO !!! as much as i didnt want manny to fight margarita at least he has a legion of fans and the ppv numbers wont suck!!!! berto lacks the smarts to beat a fighter like manilla ice !!!

Margo is just another zombie... Berto would at least move, he also has some speed and he's undeafeated, it would be something Pacquiao hasn't done.

Pac has beat those slowass fighters over and over again, I would just like him to beat another style. I would rather see him with khan, bradley, alexander rather than Margo,Cotto, Clottey

I can understand that, however I just think Berto doesn't have it, and the 140 guys aren't ready yet. It's Berto's fault he hasn't put himself into position as well as molding himself into the fighter he could be at this point. At this point, best bet would be Mosley/Berto eliminator of sorts. If the winner looked good enough doing it, then he'd have earned a shot at Pacquiao. Or the winner of the 140lb mini tourney, but I still don't think those guys will be ready for him.

Right, I think we need to ignore the belts in the equation. Berto's belt is one of the more useless pieces of ***elry in all of boxing. On the flip side, I think it's also true that the belt Pacquiao/Margarito are fighting for is also nonsense. Personally the goal should be whatever is the most dangerous and competitive fight. I'd like to see Pac in with an athletic, fast hand/footed, boxer puncher or boxer with great endurance.. I just don't think there is one at the moment. Other than Mayweather of course.

How the hell can we answer that if we've never seen Berto fight someone that wasnt washed up or a bum?

It doesn't matter how many people were in Miami... Do you guys not understand Pac is a draw? A huge draw, Clottey has no fan base, NONE!!!!!!!! still did 700k, 40k+ in attendance. With a none draw, Berto might not be a big draw, but dammit he has more of a fan base than Clottey. So that fight would of sold more than 700k PPV. And, even if Berto is not even a draw, Pac can sell by himself. Pac is such a big draw now, that you can't use the whole "he has no fans" argument. Because, Pac-Clottey killed that argument.

So the PPV would not suck. Unless you think Pac is not a draw, but only a ****** fool will think that. Are you that ****** fool?

Anyways fighting for a unification and undefeated prime fighter. With Pac drawing power, yes it would of sell don't be dumb.

Berto belt might one of the most useless around. But, it still better and more legit than the vacant belt that Pac is fighting for at a catch-weight this Saturday.

Berto could not beat Pac, but is more deserving than Marg is and the out of the 2 should be the one fighting. Really, what has Marg done in the last 2 years? Nothing, in the last 24 months, he has 2 fights, and has gone 1-1.
