Precisely. Why does Guerrero deserve a Mayweather shot again? Because he beat Berto? Who died and made sorry ass Berto the official stepping stone to Mayweather?

Well, the justifications for Floyd vs RG seem to be as follows:

1. There is no-one else at WW. Which, depressingly, is true. The days of a WW division with Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Williams, Clottey at the same time are gone, for now.
2. RG is more proven than Canelo.
3. He's going to fight again in September.

Well, on the second point - one of Robert's wins at WW, which apparently legitimised him, was exposed last night. And let's be honest, it's not like Robert has a great body of work at the lower weights either.

So you're pretty much left with a win over Berto for Robert as the reason he's deserving of the Floyd fight. And yes, I agree with you re Berto.

On the third point - even Team Alvarez don't believe he'll fight against in September, which is why Saul is demanding the guarantee of a September fight before he agrees to go on the undercard of the May fight.
