Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather-Berto a Farce, Should've Faced Khan!

Don't be silly

Lmao I didn't even catch that he said that

[BrometheusBob.]

If you mean by better resume and reputation, then sure

But in reality they're the same f**king guy at this point

They both fight in a phone booth, have zero f**king defense, are turnstile plodders, and have moderate power

In fact, f**king Rios probably has a level up in the chin & power department at this stage

lmaooo you're on fire today Mike, this is like the 5th post of yours thats made me laugh audibly.

Anyway I can see Rios/Guerrero being a good matchup right now actually. Too bad Rios is projected to face Bradley.

I think Floyd shoulda fought Danny

Obviously that would've required Danny passing on the Paulie fight (big f**king deal, so he passes on a fight with a corpse who is known more for his mouth than what he ever did inside the ropes)

Floyd would sweep the full 12 against Danny, Danny couldn't even touch Lamont f**king Peterson, how the hell would he even dream of touching Mayweather

Would've been a much better way to go out (if he indeed is going out) than motherf**king Berto, Danny's a young, undefeated champ with a name, meanwhile Berto is the 22nd rated fighter in his division

And what's in it for Danny? Well hey, it would be the biggest payday of his career, and on top of that he'd have the experience of being in the same ring with Floyd Mayweather for 12 rounds

I agree that if he were looking for a fairly easy way out against an opponent with a name who isn't way past their best, Danny would be a better pick. And I got to see DG/Paulie in person and all I can say was there were moments that DG made Paulie look like Mayweather. Dude made him miss badly. Many times. Of course Paulie still took some punishment, and didn't really deliver much back, but he still made DG look slow and wild with his punches. Mayweather would make easy work of him.

If he fought brook, thurman or khan it would of been ok. All better options than berto lol and ggg at 154 would be drained, would not want that fight.

Hold on.

I agree with your point about Golovkin at 154.

It is ridiculous, GGG would be seriously compromised at JMW.

You understand about that, but the overwhelming majority do not.

If Golovkin had been making a little more noise about that fight..... and Mayweather had selected Brook Thurman or Khan..... you know that fans would be saying that Mayweather ducked Golovkin.

So larry is right in what he is saying.

Yeah bud it just seems waaayyyy to easy for movers to make Danny miss all night, and Floyd is the ultimate mover to say the least

DG might set a record for fewest punches landed in the statistical history of boxing against Floyd

[wlliam]

What i dont understand is exactly who did Khan beat that makes him so good? Also, who has he faced at 147 that puts him "in the mix" with the top guys at 147lbs(not 140lbs)?

[Corelone]

For the life of me I don't understand why Danny didn't push for this fight. He will never make this kind of money, and Floyd has sore hands. Paulie might hit harder. Who cares if you get outboxed for 100 mil. Go for the rematch.

[Scott9945]

Berto is better than Rios and way better than ****ing Chris Algieri

Did they also get KO'd by Jesus Soto Karrass?

You're saying Guerrero is the same type of boxer as Rios? Did you only watch him at 147 Ghost is miles ahead of rios in terms of skills he just chooses to be in these types of fights where Rios has no choice but to be in slugfest guy got out boxed by Alvarado and Abril for **** sake

Rios has zero skills, slow as **** and showed no power above 135 where he always had 20+ pounds on everybody

Nobody would be saying that..everyone on here was convinced Floyd would fight one of those 3 and we had accepted it.

Nobody saw the Berto fight coming, we thought he was just joking.

Had Floyd chosen one of those 3, we'd have been fine with it.

Triple G vs Floyd is a dream match up, if Floyd isnt going to fight Thurman, Brook or Khan, he might as well move up and fight Triple G. Whats the point of staying at 147 if you are going to avoid the top guys?

Ummmm and Berto has?
