    It's kind of obvious that people want to see him pushed until he physically breaks in the ring. Far less is expected of fighters in their prime.
    Mosley - OLD
    Ortiz - not that good
    Cotto - Margarito and Pac beat him worse
    Guerrero - not an elite fighter, Fraud just fought him because of his last name
    Canelo - too young
    Maidana - Maidana won the first one and Fraud needed the ref, commission and pillow gloves to win the second one
    Pacquiao - old, shot, one armed fighter, glorified sparring match, Marquez beat him more dramatically

    Yeah people have been expecting more from the so called TBE for years now. More than a decade actually.

      But fighting Berto is pretty pathetic
      He still has one fight left on his contract so he's forced to fight, he did what he had to do and then some, Floyd himself has stated on different occasions that he's tired of boxing and that his passion for the sport has died many years ago, he earned the right to retire at that age and considering the accomplishments.

      If he fights Berto on free TV I'm cool with it, u r not paying **** so u can't complain so much, aat least 15 million people will tune in regardless if it's for free.

        you think 15 million suckers will watch floyd fight berto??????? the public doesn't even know who berto is and when they do they'll definitely pass. plus the public hated on floyd for being very boring himself. the only way you can drag the majority of the public to waste their time on another floyd snoozefest is if there is a stacked undercard and floyd is fighting a big name. even then it won't do close to 15 million.

        this fight will probably draw around 3 million AT MOST.

          rios was still ranked top ten at 140 i think when he fought pac, he would also beat up berto like soto karass did haahahahahaha. Seriously, berto lost to frickin soto karass and got embarrassed by guerrero. Give me a break!!! Plus pac fought rios as a tune-up after getting ko'ed by marquez. And rios had only 1 loss at that point.

          Algieri was undefeated, world champion and ranked in the top 5 at 140 when pac fought him. He also gave khan a very tough fight.

          Berto is not ranked top ten anywhere and he just isn't good at all. Mayweather vs berto is the worst mismatch in the longest time.
          they are lesser competition for the name manny pac man fighter of the decade!!!! Chris algerie nor brandon rios belonged in the ring with such a legend as pac man! With all the availible competition at 147. I dont care to see the berto fight but my point is you guys go crazy over everything floyd does and give praise to people for doing the same sht and make all the excuses in the world as to why its not the same, rios loss to avril but got a gift, hes not sorry but come on man, chris algerie??? Where n the hell did that come from with all the availible fights at 147??? Lmaoooooooooo u guys actually defended that fight and still are. The sad part is the berto fight isnt even signed and you all are going crazy over a guy you all say u hate to see fight.

            And you wonder why he doesn't give a damn if people like who he fights. Your post is living proof that it doesn't matter who.

                  hey genius manny was fighter of the decade from 2000-2009 (when pac was at his absolute prime years). the pac that fought rios didn't have his killer instinct anymore, was already war torn, and was coming off a HUGE KO LOSS. people were asking pac to retire after that KO loss for his health. rios was a clear tune-up, and even then rios was a decent fighter with only 1 loss (officially) and good punching power. yes he got a gift against abril but abril is farr more skilled than karass and frickin guerrero.

                  what has berto done since getting embarrassed by frickin journeyman soto karass????? again, rios would embarass berto. EMBARASS!@!!!!!!!

                  and algieri is farrrrrrrrrrrrr better than berto. algieri was prime, undefeated, coming off a great upset win, was world champion, was ranked top 5 at 140, and was much taller and rangier than pacquiao. algieri also proved he wasn't a slouch by hurting and giving khan one of his toughest fights.
