Would Andre Berto Be Too Low-Level As A Comeback/Tune-Up Opponent For Manny Pacquiao?

[Weebler I]

And cool for Khan to fight Algeri after Manny dropped him 6 times

Nobody said that was cool, he got loads of criticism for it.

Anyway, on topic, Pacquiao should come back against Crawford or someone good not a lame Berto-level fighter.

[SplitSecond]

Mayweather gave Canelo the opportunity, I want to see Pacquiao give a strong young fighter the opportunity.

I guess the Bradley fight(s) never happened. But ofcourse Pacquiao will fight another young lion, he's always taking these guys' O's.

[Alien Berto]

Nope. Berto is underrated yo. His skills are out of this world. He a legit threat to both Floyd and Manny

[FlatLine]

hahahahaha can't believe floyd fighting berto. and floyd farts had the guts to criticize pac's fight against undefeated world champion rocky story algieri.

no way to defend floyd vs berto.

Lol.. fair play bro

Pac hasnt fought a low level guy like Berto for years even after coming off of loss to JMM.

But Floyd can fight who he wants, but he just has to stop going on about people will criticise him no matter what he does. Frankly, Floyd don't care, and I think im getting to the point where im past caring as well.

It's true, even Rios beats Berto comfortably and Algieri would school him pretty easily.

Berto isn't a world beater but he's not a pushover either. What makes you think either of those guys walks through Berto?

[soul_survivor]

Following his loss to Mayweather, if Pacquiao had chosen Berto as a comeback / tune-up opponent would you consider Berto to be too low a level opponent for Pacquiao to fight, or would he be about the right level opponent for Pacquiao to face in a comeback fight?

Brandon Rios has probably been the worst fighter Pacquiao has faced in almost 15 years and even he was just a fight removed from being a world title holder and one the top guys at 140lb.

Pacquiao doesn't really do easy fights, even when coming back from losses or injuries so yes, Berto wouldn't even be pn the Pacquiao map. If he does come back, I fully expect him to face Matthysse, Brook, Khan, Garcia, Crawford or Provodnikov at some stage in 2016. There won't be any Berto's or Ortiz's for him.

[The Big Dunn]

Algieri is a much more horrible opponent than Berto so Berto would be a step up from Pacquiao's last W.

This is absolutely true. I get hating on Floyd is a passion for some here on NSB, especially the TS,. Andre Berto may be nothing right now, but his nothing is much more than Algieiri at his apex.

Pac doesnt even need a tuneup in my opinion. Its not like he took any punishment in the Floyd fight.

Once his shoulder is 100% I'd like to see him have a strong training camp and jump right into a fight with Khan.
