    How low can Berto go? I was thinking of a Marquez/Berto match up?

    Is that just plan crazyness to think of this match-up? Do you think Berto could get down to 144 safely and that Marquez would be willing to fight Berto at 144? Winner fights Pacquiao?

    Too low for Berto and possibly too much weight for Marquez to go up

    Berto only fights bums.

    JMM is old, but he's a world-class fighter.

        I think Berto has much too much muscle mass to go lower than 147, hell I don't think he'll be at that weight much longer.

        Either way, I happen to like Berto. I think his next fight is against SSM, and he'll spark him out and while I do think JMM would put up a decent scrap against Berto, he just may be too big, too fast and too strong for JMM.

          Oh, he might be too big for Marquez then.

            A fight between JMM and Berto has nothing to do with who is the most deserving of the fight against Pacquiao

            I think it has to be JMM style and the numbers it can draw in the PPV is what peoples are after.

              And I didn't know Berto ballooned up to about 160 something fight night, he is too big for Marquez. Pacquiao only goes up about 4-5 more pounds usually. He'll be about 148-149 fight night against Marquez.
