Ellerbe: "Berto Is 3 & 3 In His Last 6. So Is Pac!"

Good point, Ellerbe.

That must mean that Berto and Pac are the same quality of opponent.

And that you're preparing for similar PPV buys.

 

You're right and it's a fact for the 3-3 record. But what Ellerbe wanted to do is to justify that stupid mismatch. This is where I don't buy this ****.

 

Mayweather's himself argued that Khan is no different than Berto, since each has 3 losses.

Look, I think Khan is overrated and didn't perform well against Algieri. But his losses, withstanding the Prescott KO, were to top tier fighters (Garcia and Peterson).

I will agree with Mayweather, for once, and say that he was in a no-win position with this fight. Fans are still disappointed and angry over the $100 PPV. Unless he fought Thurman or moved up and fought another beltholder, there wouldn't be much public goodwill about this fight.

I don't believe for a second that he will retire with this fight. This is just a stay busy fight to make $32M and he'll be back next spring.

 

87% of all people know that facts without context are not to be trusted

 

Thank you! Yes, this!

And Ellerbe, um...duh? No ones arguing that haha
But to claim TBE, you gotta fight the best :hi:

 

Lol. Ellerbe is an even bigger idiot than I thought. I guess he doesn't think that highly of Floyd then.

 

Pac fans always making excuses, he 3-3 in his last 6 fights deal with it!!

 

For Floyd they are

 

Not for the people buying his PPV they're not

 

Pac nor Alvarez accomplished anything vs Floyd so it aint like Berto could do any worse, his chances are just as good as theirs

 

no they aren't. any hardcore or casual fan knows that this fight is a mismatch, having losses to guys like karass. really dude?

 

And any fan who knows any thing about boxing knew that Pac and Alvarez was a mismatch....check any of my posts from the past two years and you will clearly see my consistent opinion on that....it dont matter who he fight 154 on down and they all getting schooled! You aint realized that yet??? hunh??

 

canelo was tailor made for floyd, he has nothing to him besides subtle outside moves he does, pac on the otherhand is a different story

 

Even if Berto puts up a better fight than Pac did it's a false equivalency.

Not that he will, though. Berto will be stupefied when Floyd effectively out clinches him, a phenomenon that has never happened to Berto. The anomaly will inevitably throw Berto off his already mightily diminished game. It's a harsh prediction from a once self-described 'big Berto fan', but a reasonable and a likely outcome, none the less.
