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

[Boxing's Truth]

Tell that to the BWAA who probably knows more then you and me put together.. They aint just drawing names outta a hat now...

Nice try though..

C'mon bro, you really think that Pac has beaten fighters in the WW division that were on top of their game?? I know there is no cure for *******ation but there are some treatments that help eleviate that symptoms.

*******s think that Pac is fighting in the golden era of boxing. ***, I'm a ***** but I do know that Floyd have had a rough time in the early 80's with Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Haglar. If Pac were to fight in that era and do the same then he would be considered the greatest. But not with victories over old man Dela Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey and Margarito.

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.

JMM did great PPV numbers.........with Mayweather.

No need to beat about the bush, Pac-Mosley is the fight, All you need to do is read in-between the lines when it comes to Arum and his opponents for Pacquiao.. He did the samething when he choose Margarito to fight Pac, That fight was step up in May 2010 and the rest is a formality, Mosley is not going to leave GBP and make comments to that effect if he's sure he was getting the Pacquiao fight..So am sure the fight is all but signed.

Just do your job and hate..
Hatton old? really
Cotto old? Really
Clottey old? really

Guess what we can fantasy match up all day long but we dont live in the 80's anymore unless you still do..

You probably praise Floyds win over lightweight Marquez.

Merchant said it best "That fight with Floyd and Marquez was already won by Floyd as soon as it was signed"

[throbk1974]

if berto hadn't been greedy and took the offer that mosley was giving him, he would be in line for pac right now.

[DET. IRONSIDE]

BERTO can't take a good shot from a real fighter,believe me!!!

If thats the case Pac should be told to go rip the belt off his hips.

Let me clarify that. Dela Hoya was old. And I guess the rest were great fighters. I'll give you the Cotto fight but you've seen previous Cotto fights, he good one day and trash the other. The rest were garbage.

And look at the Vegas odds in all those fights. Everyone knew Pac was going to win those fights. With the exception of the the Oscar fight people who knew a little something about boxing knew that Pac opponents were garbage. The proof is in the odds.

If Pac would have been an underdog in all those fights then you have a valid point.

As for Floyd beating Marquez, I wasn't impressed becaused that was what he was supposed to do. And when he beats Pac I still won't be impressed because that's what he is supposed to do.

Hatton- damn near KO'd by Juan friggin' Lazcano prior to fighting Pac. Oh yeah, he did beat up Paulie "Hits like a Girl" Malignaggi.

Cotto- coming off a KO loss to Margarito and lackluster performance against a C Class fighter in Clottey that hadn't won a meaningful figh in his life.

Clottey- coming off a loss to Cotto (who Pac KO'd in his previous fight) and I repeat, hadn't won a meaningful fight in his life

Back on the actual Topic..

Berto is a hard sell. Whos Berto and why should even the casual fan care? Maybe if Berto fought Mosely and beat him, Arum could possibly market it like that..

But at this point its which opponents brings in the top dollar...

When Floyd DUCKS in 2011 its either Shane and Marquez..

You are a terrible poster.



Blaming Floyd for more of Manny's poor selection of opponents?

If that makes you sleep at night, so be it.
