    when it comes to berto and whatever he deserves or not, mosley's name shouldn't be mentioned period.
    Berto's amateur career was plenty hyped as well. And no, Shane didn't live up to the hype until close to 3-4 years from his HBO debut. In fact, his opening performance on HBO was damn near embarrassing.

      My point was that while Berto has been taking on ****ty opponents, Cintron doesn't deserve a shot at him in any way, shape or form.
      So you're saying a guy who's fought top level competition for the last 5 years doesn't deserve a shot at an hbo protected hypejob?

      Ok then.


      Second, everyone starts from somewhere.
      Hasn't Berto been on Hbo for years now? He started a long time ago and has gone NOWHERE.


      Clearly Berto and his team are milking it but the idea that Berto shouldn't be on HBO is ludicrous.
      His time is up. And he sure as hell hasn't done anything to merit a shot at Roidcquiao.


      And that's where the Mosley reference came in. But you, my friend, are too much of a goddamn idiot to pick up on it so I had to write several more posts for your down syndrome ass. And I bet you still don't get it. It's you isn't it, Jack?
      Mosley still has no connection to this whatsoever. Mosley actually earned it by fighting everyone in the sport. Berto hasn't done **** but lift a vacant title of an off duty Mexican cop.

      GTFO with your weak shit.

                  Ok then.
                  I'm saying a guy whose lost to every top fighter and quit in several bouts doesn't deserve it. yes.


                  Hasn't Berto been on Hbo for years now? He started a long time ago and has gone NOWHERE.
                  This is why I brought up Shane. Go on.


                  His time is up. And he sure as hell hasn't done anything to merit a shot at Roidcquiao.
                  A shot at Manny? No. But his time is up? Yup, definitely Jack.



                  Mosley still has no connection to this whatsoever. Mosley actually earned it by fighting everyone in the sport. Berto hasn't done **** but lift a vacant title of an off duty Mexican cop.
                  Why don't you go back and tell me what Mosley had done to get on HBO. Give it a shot.

                    Different times. But Mosley fought a lot of chumps in amassing an undefeated record. And then in his HBO debut he **** the bed. And was given a pass. Then proceeded to beat up on a bunch of has beens and never will be's. Then 3-4 years later got his shot at Oscar. So yes, the parallel can be drawn.
