Would Pacquiao have gotten more credit for beating Andre Berto than Shane Mosley?

Do you think Pacquiao would have gotten more credit for beating a Young, Undefeated, Prime, ranked #2, WBC champ, than beating a guy that the world called old during the Mayweather and Mora fight?

Or was a victory of Mosley still respectable?

duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Left Hook Tua]

nah.....

it'd have been about the same.

5-10 years from now , no one will even remember who andre berto is.

Of course. People wanted to see him against Berto rather than Mosley, I know I did, so I speak for myself. And I did see a lot of posters saying they'd prefer Berto.

Too late now, he picked the older Shane Mosley out of the three options Arum gave him from Berto, Marquez, and Mosley. The best he can do now is just fight some one good after Marquez.

Nah what?

Who are these people that wanted to see the Mosley fight outside of Pac fans?

Of course he would have gotten more credit for beating a young prime undefeated fighter.

I don't remember anyone wanting to see Pac vs Mosley, only Bob Arum and Roach, and a few Pacquiao fans that didn't feel that Pacquiao needed to take a fight with risk.

I think so. Mosley proved to be a giant waste of time and just plain over the hill as well.

Berto, while he hasn't done anything special, was like you said, young, undefeated and in his prime.

I know why The Bobfather chose mosley over berto though, for sure. Name value. Kinda backfired though.

[The Surgeon]

From me? Yeah.


History wont give a damn about Berto tho and in 30years time looking back at the books an old Mosley will be more impressive than a who the fuck was that Berto

[SirTomJones]

I never bought into Berto.

After the Floyd and the Mora fight Mosley became irrelevant.

Yea you got a point, I just thought Pacquiao was the peoples champ, I thought he took the best fights all the time....Sure Berto probably would have been Ko'd, but he wouldn't have ran and gave it his all.
