    No disrespect to Guerrero that's my guy, and I always root for him to win, but just thinking logically in regards to Haymon and Arum working together.
    You could be right. Besides all the promoter bs. Guerrero showed me in his last fight, a 45 year old Floyd would beat him. Hell, I bet Gambia could move up to 147 right now, and beat him. That's how weak he looks at 147.

      Funny thing is, I gave berto a better chance of beating PAC a few years ago, than I do now. Should be the other way around, but man, seems like ever since the collazo fight, he hasn't improved one bit. Maybe even regressed.

          Me personally, I think that's a huge step backwards in terms of who he SHOULD be fighting at this point.
          Put it this way, he's not fighting Pac or Sergio, so who cares who he fights.

              I'll lose respect for Floyd
              You actually have respect for him? I lost that awhile ago

                It would be explosive and fun. I wouldn't underestimate Bertos chin and of course power.

                  True that. Berto can land one of those bombs, but I still don't trust his cardio. If the guy had elite stamina, he'd be so so much better. That's the one thing he's missing.

                    Oh he's missing a lot more then just elite stamina. Try defense as well, he gets hit too much for me, I still like him as a fighter though. Also he tends to get a little wide with his punches at times

                      Yep. How the hell did the forget that??? Also wide with his feet. Man, one time I saw the dude throw a right cross, and just stand there in front of his opponent like it was a face off.
