    I dont pretend like it never happened but they did- and its for a good reason do you think he will get a chance with pac with that kind of opponent. It was a big mistake on his part, he should have fought someone with the name. I dont really think he is ready for Pacquiao the first word that came from his mouth was I would now like to step up and fight someone like cotto and mosley which is a smart decision.

        if floyd is such an overrated bum, why does manny want to fight him?

        why does manny consider this overrated bum as his biggest challenge?

          Did I said he's a bum? I said Haymon fighters has the priviledge to picks easy assignments and get the HBO money!! Floyd vs Bruseles?? Berto-Hernandez?

          Pac's fighting hatton, dlh, Cheato, Cotto, Clottey Back to back!! Is there anybody there who has a better 5 fight run?? JMM needs to step up!! He has no right to demand what weight they can play!!

            I agree that JMM is more deserving than Berto, but he is the problem, there is no way Arum or Roach are going to allow JMM to fight Pac at 140 or lower, so it will be at 147 and this time around JMM will get KTFO. I can't see JMM lasting 12 rounds against Pac at 147. Btw, i just saw both JMM-Pac fights again, this time i scored it 113-113, & 115-113 for JMM(had one rd even).

            So all things considered i rather see a young lion(even with his flaws) fight Pac at 147 than a blown up JMM. Of course, as a first choice i rather see Pac fight Mayweather, Martinez at (155), or even the Bradley-Alexander winner.

              I think Berto should fight Mosley or Cotto next. Mosley or Cotto will be a good step up for him and beating one of them will truly show if he deserves to be named among the elite

                The thing people seem to forget is berto is basically an unpolished Pac, no defense explosive speed and power. People act like Berto is feather fisted and Pac will just walk through all his punches which I'm sure he will get hit with because he won't be faster than Berto. In the end whoever gets caught first will be KTFO because they are both great finishers. I won't bet on it but I won't be surprised if Pac gets Ko'ed but I won't be surprised if Berto gets Ko'ed
