    While I agree they are far below his level. I hate this kind of disrespect you guys give former champions by calling them "cans".

    Boxing fans think that picking opponents started with Floyd, and that when Floyd retires, the best will fight the best again.

    Goodness, boxing fans have to be the most naive fans of any sport.

    Berto isn't a can either. A "Can" is a guy like Peter Mcneely. Berto and Algieri are former titlists and have fought good opposition. In no way are they "cans".

    Everyone picks their opponent. Its a business - risk vs reward.

    Someone already said it. Wlad. But all fighters are guilty of choosing opponents.

    Voice of reason.

    Don't expect many to agree with you.

    In the coming months Berto will be built up as the worst fighter in the history of the globe.
