    Berto vs Ortiz should be at 145 or this should be the solution:

    I agree that 143 is not a fare weight limit for this fight in behalf of Andre Berto, but the fight was OFFERED to Ortiz from Dibella...They know Ortiz hasn't tested the waters at fighting WW except for that fight with A.Diaz which was at 144 but that was coming off an 8 month lay off since the Maidana loss...My theory is to let the weight limit be at 145, because Andre himself rehydrates only 5 pounds above the 147 limit anyway, and that'll give Ortiz the comfort to decide how he feels about the weight...Ortiz can come in well at 144 and let Berto weigh 145 and they will still be a similar size come fight night...if they don't want to do this then put both fighters in the PPV card seperately...Let Ortiz vs Senchenko be at 145 be the first fight, then Berto vs his Mandatory Ayeden, and main event will be Khan vs whatever bum he'll fight...and if they truely want to sell this PPV GBP should throw Alvarez vs Mathew Hatton as the Main Event instead of Khan's tune up fight...

    They should also put Pac-Mosley on the undercard

    Your idea would be great and all, if only it was actually possible

      It is possible...the fighters that will actually draw ppv buys are Ortiz, Berto, and Canelo...I don't know how GBP are trying to have Khan sell this crap...but maybe they should push Khan out of it...have him wait for the bradley vs alexander winner...put those three fighters Ortiz, Berto, and Canelo in staples center or in Vegas and you have yourself a successful PPV...

        Aren't they actually the same size? I don't see the issue here.

              I think that the issue is that they don't want to push Ortiz into WW so fast...Cotto slowly transitioned to as well as Pac and May...if Ortiz looks physically bad at WW then they could easily put him back to 140 if the weight is not at full 147...plus they were probably not considering him moving up at full 147 team Ortiz probably wanted a catch weight fight against a contender at WW, but since this fight was OFFERED against a name opponent then they want to take it but not at the full weight...

                    No disrespect to Khan but those other Britts that want a piece of Khan aren't gonna be able to take on him...Khan proved himself and should just wait on the Bradley vs Alexander winner, because no one else at 140 can upset Khan right now...
