    Are you high? Are you suggesting that there is any way someone could defend Berto as the pick?
    Andre Berto is a cagey veteran fighter. He is undefeated since 2013. When Andre Berto falls down, he always gets up. Andre Berto reminds me a lot of myself. He uses my same defense, is a great athlete and is a strong, hungry fighter. Floyd Mayweather don't overlook no opponent. I will be ready for the best Andre Berto on September 12.

      seems like this happens everytime. you know i have come to the conclusion that floyd wants these fighters manny, khan, mosley etc to think he is scared of them that way gives them false confidence at some point its got to be strategy more then being scared thats for sure.

          Al Haymon managed to get a second-rate fighter named Andre Berto $1 million to fight cab drivers for several years on HBO, and as a result, more than 150 other fighters looking for million dollar paydays against cab drivers signed with Haymon and he was able to create a boxing dynasty called PBC.

          Berto deserves your praise, not your criticism!
          Nice to see you admit they're getting millions fighting cab drivers. Exactly my point. They don't have to fight a boring runner to get their millions. It's all myth and people need to stop making it a huge deal. Thurman admitted that he gets more for every fight. So I would assume he got $2 million in his fight with semi-retired Collazo, considering OT got $1.5 million fighting washed-up Guerrero. Bottom line is you don't have to be awarded the so-called TBE lottery to get these millions.

          Do you think Berto will get $3 million for this fight?

Now, all of a sudden, you think differently and you are questioning my sobriety!:*******:
            Well I doubt I outright didn't think Brook was worthy. He's at least on the level with the other top WWs.. Bradley, Thurman, Khan, Porter. Some debate could be made between these guys.

            And even if I had said that, which I don't think I have, then I'd still have said then as I will now that Brook >>>>> Berto as a pick.

                LOL. Berto is the reason Haymon is banned from HBO.

                  Berto deserves the fight.

                  He was the gatekeeper for years.

                  The gatekeeper deserves his shot.

                    Promotional companies do this from time to time to gauge fan reaction. Well Jr knows the reaction now.

                      Everyone overlooks Berto because he's been the gate leading to Floyd Mayweather.

                      WELL WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON"T PAY ATTENTION TO THE GATE AND IT SWINGS BACK AND HITS YOU? BERTO BY KO!!!!!!!
