Why does beating Andre Berto earn you a Mayweather fight?

[junior gong]

well seeing that Andre Berto was the 3-4 HIGHEST ranked WW's that automatically causes it.

Remember back in 2010 when Berto was Undefeated, WBC champion, Ranked number 2 in his weight class depending if you count Floyd Mayweather who was inactive at his time...

And Pac choose to fight Shot as **** Mosley?

Berto was crap then and is even worse now...and WTF does this have to do with Manny?

Find me a link where people say Guerrero is being ducked by Floyd. If not Guerrero, who is he going to fight? He won't take on Canelo. Fans don't even mention Trout for Floyd. Who is he going to fight? Martinez? Who?

therer were ppl who said it. plenty in fact. if u want a link go find one yourself. its not hard at all. some of the very ppl in this thread said it in fact. learn to use the search function or shut up

when he fought both ortiz and now with guerrero, they were both the best available fights at 147. so the fact that they beat berto bolsters their credibility a bit but in the end the thing that matters is there was no1 else worthy of fighting. with ortiz the only one better would have been manny and we all know how that goes down and with guerrero, there really is no 1 else worth fighting unless u wanna see floyd vs marquez again and i dont even think marquez wants that fight

And that shouldn't be hard to believe considering how many Floyd haters there are.

That is nonsense.

he really does make taking a butt kicking look spectacular . his chin isn't great, but he's tough as nails. his style and handspeed is eye catching enough to make you think he might be a good fighter


wartiz had us calling him wartiz. in reality, ortiz is soft, and it's because berto is poorly skilled and conditioned that he was able to continue fighting when he was hurt.


guerrero had the poor dude's eyes swollen shut, but he kept fighting, allowing for an exhibition of robert guerrero beating up a bonafide welterweight at close range. wtf?




in short, because boxing is ordered financially. other sports function in a tournament to compete for championships, after going off of regular season records by region to see who makes the post season. boxing fights are made when they make financial sense and for no reason otherwise. you end up getting fights like these ones, where andre berto keeps the gate to the best fighter on the planet, even though it makes no sense.



somebody's gonna have to photoshop a picture of berto keeping the gate to heaven (or hell), with floyd mayweather in the distance

[Kagami Taiga]

That is nonsense.

who was better at 147 than ortiz when floyd fought him? ill wait. who is better at 147 than guerrero? ill wait. dont waste my time denying my post if ur not gonna actually refute anything with evidence. thats pointless and it happens around here way too much.

Cause may weathers a pusssy who fights bums or past prime fighters

According to you and the other floyd fluffers, Floyd can fight who he wants when he wants, so this whole shite about 'available at the time' is total bollocks...and why limit himself to 147 when as you point out the division is crap at the moment(and it must be **** if RG is the current top dog!)?

Maybe if your teen idol didnt take the piss out of the public by conveniently avoiding every significant threat for the last 6 years he would be fighting someone worthwhile. In the meantime you bumsniffing fanboys have been gleefully shelling out top dollar to watch crap. Bright kids!

you didn't answer the question you quoted. you exaggerated about things a floyd fan might say, then gave your opinion of those statements and told us what you think about the ww division.

are you going to answer dempseys question?
