Why does beating Andre Berto earn you a Mayweather fight?

[Syf]

maidana's stamina looked suspect with morales and corley. he's known to be lazy in training camp.

maidana lost every round to alexander in a bad style matchup fight. guerrero adapted a very similar gameplan when he fought berto which is why i favor him in a fight with maidana just a bit. he's not some rangey master boxer though and has been in brawls with lesser fighters on many occasions. it was only two fights ago he was struggling and getting beaten up by a strong puncher that averaged 2 punches thrown per round.

it's a 50/50 fight in my eyes and a very good one.

Its a good point about chino's stamina. He was fat in the Devon fight for instance, even though he had just moved up. But so had devon, and Devon was way better prepared for that fight.

As for 50 50.. Agree to disagree though I respect your opinion. To me what happened to Berto and what happened to Maidana are two different things. Maidana was hit with speedy combinations coming in, then clinched. And those combinations had serious pop. Berto loaded up on one wild shot at a time and was defused on the inside.

Does the fact that Berto lost to a light welterweight and a featherweight mean much? Only if it gets them a Mayweather fight.

both the ortiz and ghost fights were set up to give Berto a win going into a floyd fight. Berto lost to both and those guys got the floyd fight. Its really simple.

Same thing with Ortiz/Lopez. Ortiz was given the fight to get a win and set up a canelo fight. Lopez won and got the fight.

yeah, lol, floyd cherrypikking at his best

ask sulaiman, hes the one that made guerrero the mandatory to floyds title. berto having previously held the WBC title at 147 hes probably ranked higher in their rankings than most fans.

that said there arent a whole lot of options for floyd out there, and anytime hes leaning towards something it turns into a bad fight anyways. like how guerrero was a cherry pick until alexanders name came up, then he was ducking guerrero. he ends up fighting guerrero and it goes back to being a cherry pick.
