    Let me repeat myself, I'm giving examples because somebody said Manny has never ducked anybody. I also said earlier Berto won't be next because he's undefeated, fast and isn't worth much

    I have my own saying "Speed doesn't like to fight Speed". Atleast that's how it seems.

    I got it the first time. It was your usage of that stupid "Read the thread" smiley that made zero sense.

    And Berto won't be next, but not because he's undefeated or has fast hands, but because he hasn't done **** despite being a WW titlist.

    Why would pacquiao want to fight mayweather but not want to fight berto? That does not make sense now if it was the other way around it would. Just some food for thought.

    I think he deserved it more than some of Pacquiao's previous opponents. Who do you want Manny to fight next?

    Too much risk without enough reward. He won't generate as much as Floyd, Mosley or Juan, but he's more dangerous than Mosley and maybe Marquez depending on the weight.

    :lol: I actually think he made a solid case for the PAC fight with that performance. Not that anything was unexpected about the outcome b/c Berto did EXACTLy what he was suppose to do given the opposition and knowing an electrifying performance helps promote the potential showdown with PAC.

    It sounds like you think b/c of Berto KOing his opponent in the first round PAC would use that to avoid a Berto showdown....PAC is not like Floyd. People saying PAC hasn't fought a Black American Slick fighter does bug him to the point where he wants to prove people wrong. Floyd can be called a coward, chicken...duck...or any other farm related animal used to symbolize being afraid, and that still won't move him to prove himself.

    I think Berto vs PAC is a lot easier to sell than PAC vs JMM or PAC vs Shane. Although I'd like to see all of them....but out of the three....PAC vs Berto seems like the winner since Sergio, Paul and Floyd don't seem likely.

    How is he more dangerous? Who has he fought in order to have such credibility? Has he ever been in the kind of situations or trenches like let's say mosley vs forrest one or marquez vs pacquiao first round of their first fight. Berto has never been in those types of fights and situations agains those types of opponents for you too say that he is a dangerous opponent your argument is baseless and pointless at best.

    Mayweather obviously. But how exactly is Berto more deserving then Clottey, Cotto, or Margarito? At least THOSE GUYS have wins over top WW's. Something Berto doesn't really have yet.

    Berto hasn't even really been tested as a pro, and that's NOT because he's so damn good. He's just been fed too many soft touches.

    Outside of the hardcore and i mean hardcore boxing fans nobody knows berto, unlike mosley and marquez who are well known and have their followers. How can berto vs pac be an easier fight to sell than pac vs marquez or pac vs mosley, please amuse me with your answer sir i am pretty sure mr. Arum would love your insight.
