Comments Thread For: Pac Pursuit: Shane’s Gold Watch Should Berto’s Golden Ticket

[starkiller]

Farce fight will still be made, its great fighting a fighter coming off a loss and a draw.

cool. btw though, marquez only asked for 25% of the purse and stopped asking for accurate random blood testing.

Changes done.

when Shane asked for this fight after he stopped Marg...he was turned down for whatever reasons....when Shane was the top dude in the division it would have made sense...but NOW?!?....it only proves what many were whispering....as my dude Kevin Hart would say...say it witcha chest!! ....Top Rank is protecting Manny from a CERTAIN style....the sneaky thing is how they USE Floyd's name and situation as an EXCUSE to fight the fighters he's been fighting ....brilliant work by Top Rank....those dudes are the masters of manipulation.....wow....I will buy the fight because I'm a die hard Sugar Shane fan...NOTHING will change that....I'm on base until he retires...win or lose I stay on....thats my dude and I know he's too much of a warrior to NOT want this fight even though he's on the decline....he knows he aint the young Shane no more....so I respect him for ALWAYS wanting to fight the BEST.....shame on Top Rank for trying to catch Shane now....but hey, let the chips fall where they must....Shane by KO....shock faces will be the new trend next spring....free shock faces courtesy of Sugar Shane

great read. good to see some difference of opinion and some real journalism going on around here.

Man, I'll say. Great article. No matter that Berto doesn't have a following, the public will buy any fight that Pacquiao is in.

Yep me too, I'm an old Shane fan, good post man. I'm glad he gets the payday, he's earnt it, but I'm not sure how much hes got left at this point.

He rocked Mayweather, and every opponent Manny has ever fought has hit him with their best punch. I think maybe he's in with a small chance before the 4-5th round, but little-to-no chance after that.

Get this.....

" What Berto does represent is a new look for Pacquiao - an undefeated fighter in his natural weight class and in the prime of his career "

i'm not surprised at this. its the same old,shot,slow method of fighter. the difference is mosley is black s and won't be weight drained. atleast pac gets the not fighting a african american tag off his back

I like Shane, but also do not see how he deserves this fight given his recent performances. Pac should not rest on his laurels and fight guys like Berto at 147, Marquez and Bradley/Alexander at 140.

For the Pac haters who do nothing but stream his fights, I say **** you *****s. Just go on vacation like chicken boy Floyd and don't watch ANY of Pac's fights.

:****you:

Fans will just have to wait till it is Berto's turn. Obviously it's Mosley's turn (most likely now). If Manny doesnt not fight him next, Mosley will never have his chance again because of his age. Manny cant fight them all at once. His (Berto's) chance will come. I say, line them up and Manny will definitely fight them one at a time. Once Manny is finished with Mosley, Berto should make sure that he is still undefeated by the time Manny selects his next dancing partner and, I'm pretty sure Berto will be the No. 1 on the list by then.

Hey genius, somehow your way of thinking is a little different than Arum's or you must have a crystal ball or something. Arum said the winner of Coto-Marg II is up next.

We don't know that yet ?

If they pull a catch-weight, or a rehydration restriction, there will be words.
