Why is HBO Trying To Spin This Win?

Berto aint slick african american.. he's haitian

What the **** has Clottey or Margarito done? Last I checked Berto was actually a welterweight champion.

they signed with top rank .. is what it is.

Margarito and Clottey didnt deserve a big fight with Pac, but that happened.. I dont see why Berto doesn't fit the criteria to some. LMAO

Im guessing because Clottey & Margarito have atleast been in there with legit top competition in the past (and have looked decent) which gives them solid ring credibility.


Berto on the other hand just fought a guy who was seeded 10th by the wbc and who's only notable wins were an old Corley.

I would much rather see Saul vs Pac than a third fight between Pac and JMM. I do hope Berto would get the shot though. That would be hot to see...a young explosive fighter who's hungry and wants to prove himself. Berto should definitely be in the mix now of potentional opponents for Pacman.

Let's see if you notice a difference in the quality of opponents faced...

Margarito/Clottey: Mosley, Cotto, Judah, Corrales, Williams, Cintron, each other

Berto: Freddy Hernandez, Carlos Quintana

Do you see it?

Marquez>>>>>Berto and even at 147 would give Pacquiao a lot more trouble than Andre would. But I'm sure if Berto ends up being next, the stances of people calling for that fight will suddenly change and Manny will be called a cherry picker and Berto overrated. And the world will keep on turning.

And where are Black Haitians originally from?

Plus Berto was born, raised, learned how to box, and lives in Florida.

LOL Berto got that belt as a gift! He fought for the vacant belt against Miguel Rodriguez...WHO?!

[SCEN3RY]

Did Berto not say he wanted Pac next? who the **** are any of you to say he don't deserve it, JMM has had two shots already, **** a third fight at 147, I don't want to see that ****. U act like Berto ain't no challenge for Pac, he may KO Pac in the first round, Pac aint got no D.

Dawg reread my post, I said I want that fight, I'm just not blinded by what I want. It's what makes sense...Berto beat Hernandez, that doesn't open a door to Pacquiao, it doesn't open a door to Mayweather, deal with it.

Berto deserves the fight based on his name recognition and place within the welterweight division alone. Last I checked Marquez got schooled by Mayweather at 147 so why should anyone need to sit through that again? JMM likes to eat punches and a third fight with Pac would be no different.

yeah but Marquez just proved last night that can still beat quality opponents

his last two wins >>> berto's

berto needs to at least be tested against a Mosley before getting in there with Pacquiao
