    This is boxing. Some of you act like Roach can predict the future. If Margo had hit Pac with a hard body shot (which he did) and Pac collapsed, there's nothing that Roach his supposed "physic powers" could do. So if he were to put him in with Berto because he knows there's 0 chance Berto can win? I don't think Berto would win, but please.

    You forget that before the whole Floyd testing fiasco Roach was saying Mayweather's legs were gone and he was fragile. So because Roach said it means he was picking someone they knew they could beat and Floyd was shot and fragile? **** off.

    ^ those were 2 huge bodyshots one right after the other... HE recovered instantly... Kind of makes you wonder.

    Dude has incredible recovering time, to incredible.. Either Ariza is doing an incredible job or something else is going on... That was just sick...

    Berto hasn't done **** to deserve a fight vs Pac really, his biggest wins are nothing compared to Pac's biggest wins. That fight won't sell. Pac should fight Floyd or retire otherwise he is just wasting his time.

    goes to show that noone is knocking out Pacquiao easily. When people talk about former ATG WW's knocking Pacquiao out with 1 punch... it's just dumb.

    Berto is not afraid of Silcuk it's because Silcuk wants the fight at home and his judge's just like his kast fight with Jo Jo dan where he lost but won, take Salik out of his home advantage he is a C leval fighter.

    Berto is a real challenge and anyone who has eyes to break styles and attributes down knows that berto is a real challenge.

    Berto needs to stay clear of Pacquiao, Collazo exposed the truth about berto.... and IMO Berto lost that fight.

    Berto has very little experience at the top level to be even considered a threat to Pacquiao. From what we have seen from both fighters, I think its fair to say that he would not fare well against Manny. Some attributes he has that strongly are going to go against him: Questionable chin, heart, defense. Yes he has some fast hands but even with that his power isn't anything to write home about. He lacks experience and has never even faced anyone close to the level of Manny. all odds are against Berto IMO.

    BTW I think that Roach definitely knows this and if the fight were to be made halfway through training he would pull another "at first I thought he was a challenge but after watching tape of him I dont think so anymore, we will knock him out in 3"

    Berto is a kid still learning the trade that needs a year or two to come reach his peak... Manny is getting desperate

    Gomez falling ill and Hernandez filling in at the last minute seems to be another part of the build-up.

    Berto is improving all the time but he aint at all ready for Pac. Lets see him the likes of Clottey, Mosley, Margarito first.
