Comments Thread For: Andre Berto Would Consider Fighting Juan Manuel Marquez

[puga]

Mike Jones?!?!?!?!? The same Mike Jones who just went life and death with Karass. That he has to rematch to prove he didn't receive a gift? Rome, Andre holds the coveted Green WBC belt. That alone is a heavy bargining chip. Clottey took himself outta the WW pic, with that disgraceful showing against Pac. Jan?????? Thats a good fight, so is Ardyin.

Now I agree that you have to earn a shot at Pac. But the WW div is lookin really slim right now, and Pac takin on the who's who of Top Rank aint cuttin it.

Now yes Berto is being moved carefully, but most good fighters are ie. Andre Ward. It's his promoter's job to ensure that he is matched well up to his earning potential, then cut him lose. Arum did it with Cotto. Nobody seems to be complaining about that.

sotto karrass got robbed....berto struggled vs collazo too and many thought he should've lost...he struggled vs a ****in juan urango also..so berto = mike jones potential wise....only thing berto has is the belt....

Urango, and Collazo have never been easy fights for anybody Puga. And the key to your post is "Berto has a BELT". And do you honestly think Karass woulda looked that good against Berto? Everybody thought Quintana was gonna look good. We see how THAT turned out.

We cant have it both ways here ya'll. One minute the major straps mean EVERYTHING, the next they dont. Either they do or they dont. The only time these straps shouldn't mean anything is when you are talkin bout a MEGA bout ie. Floyd/Pac.

1.Karass would have KO'd Berto imo,Berto would have never fought him..

2.Yes Berto has a belt but you know why no cares that he has it??He beat Ricky Martin to get it,fought a good competitor in Collazo(I felt he lost)went life and death and since has only fought lay down fighters..So his belt holds no weight to how his status as a hype job is viewed..

3.Clottey looked bad against Pac but who else has he looked bad against??Berto an't Pac he should fight umm..

4.Cotto easy road!!!!!You have got to be kidding..When Cotto was a Jr WW to when he fought Marga's name me two easy fights Cotto had??

true, actually Berto isnt that big at Welters, he is thick but not that huge at welters he could fight a 140 fighters who could move at 147.

Marquez could meet him if really want to test at welters, if he really wants Pac.

Karrass was not robbed he lost a close fight,and you was just so amazed that the fight was close you was ready to give the fight to him..It was a great fight tho but robbed is pushing it I had Mike Jones winning the last two rd which in my scorecards gave him the fight..

There was no Mosely duck. The fight was signed, sealed, and all but delivered. And the Haiti tragedy happened. I dont blame him from withdrawing. Hell, really he helped us see Floyd totally dismantle Shane. We oughta be giving Berto a lil praise for helpin that fight happen by withdrawing. That was the Boxing clinic of the year IMHO.

Berto ducked Mosley when he ask for 50/50 when Mosley just sold mill PPV with May..Berto never even fought on a PPV and you going to ask Mosley for 50/50..It was a flat out Duck so yes he did Duck Mosley twice..Oh let's not mention that Kat's Brother died someone Kat's truly knew and cared about..Berto lost his third cuzzin in the Haiti disaster come-on he ducked Mosley twice..

[AKATheMack]

Berto has done nothing at WW himself so I dont see the problem with this fight. Winner gets Pacquiao makes sense to me.

[finster]

Berto is a P!@#$%!

Berto is the MOST protected champ in modern day times! MArquez is TOO small for him and his best weight class is 135!!!! To have this fight is a total sham!!! Berto only fights smaller fighters yet he holds a belt at 147!!!! Grow some balls and either rematch Collazo who beat you before, or at least fight kermit cintrash!!! Jesus christ this man has NO shame and HBO should be ashame to associate themselves with him! He is an OVERRATED fighter period!

It maybe but i guess all Berto fight was HBO since 08' he had issues like overpaid fighter he's with Al Haymon, he fight atleast 700k above since then even his last fight he was paid for 900-1M for a 1 rounder WBC 147 defense.

Imo theres no duck i guess it was bargaining terms of both colapse, but sure the Haiti was true thats why it colapse at first.
