How does Berto get a shot at Floyd or Pacquiao

Sergio Martinez

 

If Berto gets the fight, it's by default. Who else aside from Mayweather is there? Nobody wants Mosely. Not many want Marquez. Both of those guys are being hyped up as great opponents by HBO so they have something to sell with name power. The only real opponents for Manny aside Mayweather, then are Bradley/Alexander and Berto, and none of those guys are really ready for Manny from a marketing stand point (not to mention they'll get killed by Manny). I actually prefer Manny to fight the winner of Bradley/Alexander just cause they have more ability than Berto, but it would still be a beatdown.

 

Its funny to me, because the same thing people criticize Berto for not doing, they criticize him for trying to do. Everyone says he hasn't fought anybody (true to a degree), but then everybody says he doesn't deserve a fight when he tries to get a fight made. What kinda **** is that? I'm no huge Berto fan, but i'm just sayin lol, let him get tested.

 

Well, I'd like for him to step up a level lower than Pac first. Like SSM or a Clottey. He needs to get tested no doubt. But no sense in letting him get absolutely brutalized. Get him some quality experience first, don't let him jump in with Pac right after a Freddy Hernandez.

 

Beat Mosley or Clottey or Cotto or Margarito...

 

Arum won't risk Berto even though Pacquiao will win. Shane is easy because he's an uncle tom who will easily give into all of Manny's demands and Arum knows he's low hanging fruit like mostly all of Pacquiaos competition. Berto is the best fight to make. JMM and Shane are wastes of time at this point.Get ready for Shane/Pac coming April.

 

Keep winning, But fighting more than just once/twice a year.
For instance his last fight was seconds long.

He should be in the ring again ASAP.

 

Well, he beat Collazo. Clottey is about as good as Collazo, in my opinion. I say he takes the belt from Jan Zaveck and then goes for Mosley. From there he should face Cotto. THEN he can go for P4P #1a and #1b.

 

He was signed to fight SSM back in january but pulled out after the haiti earthquakes. This was also when Mosley was considered the number 1 welter - meaning if he was ready in 2010, then he is ready in 2011. Clottey has moved up in weight. Berto feels he is ready so why not have a crack. He is considered a top 5 welterweight moving into his prime who also happens to have a title so i dont see what the problem is. Mosley is the one who has to prove his worth after two average performances; JMM is unproven at welterweight. Boxing fans dont know what they want sometimes - first they want the best to fight the best by taking chances, then on the other hand when a guy is ready to take a risk by taking a deserved step up he is criticized. Berto for me is most logical if Pac will not meet JMM at jr. Welter
