Comments Thread For: Arum: Berto-Marquez Should Happen For Pacquiao Shot

[WESS]

So according to Arum, its ok to have JMM fight another WW just as long as its not Pac? wtf....

No talks of JMM should be mentioned unless there talking about JWW. Both can make the weight easily. If Pac doesn't want to fight at the JWW division than talks of JMM shouldn't be discussed. Plenty of other options as Pac IS the WW and JMW "champion".

Berto to unify the WW TITLES

Berto's too big for JMM. WW is too big for JMM.... If Pac is to fight JMM it should be at JWW. In the meantime PLENTY of other options yet they choose THE 40 YEAR OLD LOSER! Another subpar fighter as was Clottey and Margarito. Next up after Mosley is Cotto at 154.... Pac hand selecting certain fighters at certain weight classes at certain weights.

wow they really want no parts of Marquez saying he should fight Berto to get a shot at Manny thats a joke

WHAT DID MARGACHEATO DO TO DESERVES HIS BOB YOU FCKIN SLIME BALL

the marg fight was a money fight for TopRank. but then again, who these days fight someone almost 20lbs bigger than you? tony would beat most WW and wipe the floor with all JWW, including JMM.

Logical point actually.

A lot of this would have been resolved had the Berto Mosley fight have happened ages ago, obviously unforseen circumstances.

Be good to see some polls of this matchup.

Its amazing to me how JMM is an ATG at feather and lightweight, but he becomes a bum at welterweight. The JMM doesn't carry the weight well was simply an excuse the Pacwh*res put out there to **** on the fact that Mayweather treated a cat that has beaten Pac's ass twice like a amateur, and not a very good one at that. JMM carried the weight just fine, he was just in with a superior fighter.

True dat. I agree. Floyd is a different fighter from everyone
else. Before I believe Pac is supposedly "Too much" for Marquez,
I need to see it first in a 3rd fight.

WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez was left as the odd man out when Manny Pacquiao finalized a deal to face "Sugar" Shane Mosley on May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Besides the difference in weight, and the large purse demand, Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum is not convinced that Marquez is capable of hanging with Pacquiao at 147-pounds. Their previous two meetings took place at featherweight and super featherweight.

at 140! and Ill call it even...

This is not a bad idea at all. I don't agree with all the talking points by Arum, but he has a point when he says that Marquez hasn't really proved himself at 147. I think Marquez vs. Berto would be highly entertaining. Let's get it on...

I've never wished death upon somebody, but man this is guy is getting closer and closer.

Its a very logical point. But, itsalso very hypocritcal coming from Arum concerning Pac. I mean, no one has been able to answer my question as to what Mosley, Margarito, and Clottey did to earn a shot to Pac. So why when it comes to JMM, who's worlds better than all of them, he needs to prove himself. Pop in a tape of Pacquaio-Mrquez I and II and that's all the proving JMM needs as to why he "deserves" a shot at the almighty Congressman.

Yeah,that's bull****. He says Pac is too big and good for Marquez
now but he wants JMM to fight Berto who is indeed bigger than
Pac at WW? Arum age is not allowing him to be the great liar
he once was.

[RIZO24]

****en excuses by Arum. Pacquiao even said that he rather fight under 147 because he feels better and faster so why didint he might the third fight with Marquez at 140. That would of been a good weight for both.
