Comments Thread For: Arum: Berto is The Toughest Sell For Manny Pacquiao

[Boxing's Truth]

Why doesn't Arum just announce that Pac's next fight is Mosley. Arum knew his next fight was Mosley before the Margarito fight. All of those who are gonna buy it are gonna buy it. All of those not are not. Offering up all these excuses and explinations as to why Mosley is their target aren't warrented. All hardcore fight fans know a fight with Mosley is as much as sham as Pac's last two fights. Fortunately for Arum, most of Pac's fan base aren't real fight fans. Just make the event, kick Mosley's ass, and then let the world talk about how great Pac is. We've seen this movie before.

Exactly. A large percentage of ******* Nation aren't real boxing fans. They can get Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. to come out of retirement to fight Pac and after Pac knocks him out in the first 30 seconds then they will shout how Pac is the greatest fighter of all time.

The real boxing fan respects Manny but knows that to be the greatest you have to beat the greatest. And if you try to tell me that Hatton, Cotto, Clottey and Margs are all time greats then you need to re-evaluate your boxing knowledge.

And please don't tell me that if Pac fights Shane that he would be fighting an all time great. This fight would have been good years ago when Shane was begging Roach for this fight and Roach flat out rejected him because they knew it wasn't the right time for Pac to get tossed around. Now that Shane has declined they want to fight him because they want to say they beat an all time great. I'm not buying it.

Word but Shane nor JMM are TR

But who's that chick in your avy?..she's dope!

I thought your asked about clottey????

Clottey = UNKNOWN
Berto is much more popular than Joshua Clottey, so I don't see how this is even relevant, I'm not saying Berto is a threat at least not in my opinion..but they're hiding from him for some reason..

Shane just left or planning to leave GBP, and GBP "will stay out" of marquez for co promotion.

At this point if you dont sell PPV's you dont get a shot at Pacquiao. What suck is whos next after Mosley? Mayweather will be getting butt ****d in jail so its not gonna be him. Marquez is a never was. Berto might become a big name but it'll take some time. Pac might have to fight Khan next.

I look a Manny's pictures now compared to before. I think Ariza advised Manny to grow out his hair like that...if you know what I mean.

Haha. Seriously though, Manny's body has went through a transformation. And it's most noticable in his head.

I would agree with you if he would have stopped at the lightweight divisions. The welterweight accomplishments are a farse to say the least.
