    I almost thought to put bets on a ko since that is really the only bet worth a **** on the lines unless of course you think Berto could pull it off.
    Berto has the handspeed to give Floyd some trouble. Does he have the intelligence to put it to good use? Maybe not. He can also take a punch as apparent in his fights against Ortiz and Karass. Yeah, he got knocked the **** out, but not before some serious bombs landed on him. If he were to keep his aggressiveness after feeling Floyd's power, this might be a decision Floyd is really going to have to earn.

    I don't doubt Berto's physical abilities. The fight isn't a mismatch because of that, it's a mismatch because Berto doesn't possess the mental capacity to utilize them all together.

      It would be funny if Breto actually somehow makes it a war and Floyd has no choice to fight. The fight no one wants to see from him turns out be his most exciting one yet.

        He's an Olympic gold medalist ****** from England, there would be interest there.

        And I'm pretty sure more people tuned into watch him than anyone has ever tuned in for Berto.

        When Berto is a headliner he sells like a thousand tickets, Tops. He's literally a nobody.

          You don't have to love Khan to admit that would be a much bigger, much more profitable, much more competitive fight. This is a duck. Sure, it's a retirement duck and people are letting it slide, but it's still a duck when you fight the vastly inferior option.
          Heard it all before. Pac and Canelo fans thought they had the guy too.

          Brook- nobody knows him in the states

          Lara- you would call it boring

          Khan - other than looking terrible in his last fight, isn't that big of a name in the US

          Thurman - fought nobody

          Garcia - people criticized the hell out of it

          Crawford- do you follow boxing?

          GGG- do you believe in the tooth fairy


          There is no 1 standout opponent. The best choice is to fight Berto, make it exciting and retire for good.

            I think boxing was a much better sport when they were no PPVs. All other major sports are on free TV. Boxing should be as well. There is just no guarantee of a good fight, no matter who is fighting. You can try, but even the best potential match-ups can turn out to be terrible.

            But there are better free fights on this year and I'm sure that will only get bigger. In my opinion, no fighter is worth spending $50 to see, much less $75.

              Are you trolling, or do you seriously think Berto is a better opponent than all of those I listed and more?

                Boxing has always had some sort of PPV variation from the start.

                But yeah...they should have put this on CBS and nobody would have complained.

                    You listed a middleweight dude. FOH....and I'm trolling?

                    Berto isn't better than any of them but they've done nothing to earn this fight either.

                      It's bad promotion. A sport can't grow when people do not even know who the real players are. Can't do that if they have to cough up money just to find out.

                      And I thought this fight was going to be for free after the May robbery. Definitely should have been.
