So Bob Arum tells Marquez that if he fights and beats Andre Berto then he would "Think about" giving him a shot at Manny Pacquiao. Freddie Roach recently said via "The Scene" that JMM should face the winner of Bradley/Alexander and if he beats one of them, then maybe he can get a shot at Manny Pacquiao. Roach and Arum are treating JMM as if he is some obscure fighter that NO-ONE has ever heard of. It's already bad enough that they are and have been COMPLETELY DISRESPECTING THE SPORT....Now they're Disrespecting an ATG and Sure First Ballot Hall of Famer in an effort to keep their fighter on his "SMOKE N' MIRRORED" PEDESTAL....STRAIGHT BULL****!!! Are you telling me that NO-ONE finds it Hilariously IRONIC that Roach and Arum want JMM to fight and beat the kinds of fighters with the Kind of Athleticism, Speed and Skill that Manny Pacquiao has YET TO FACE....HILARIOUS!!! JMM has 58 Pro Fights....and Team Pacquiao are suggesting that an ATG like JMM needs fight two fighters that don't even have 58 Pro Pro Fights COMBINED...just for the POSSIBILITY to fight Manny Pacquiao... This content is protected So here is an Idea. How about JMM versus a bigger, MUCH slower, easy-2-hit fighter with NO defense like Antonio Margarito. Now the question you may have is: At what weight? Well when you are that big, and that slow, with absolutely NO defense and easy-2-hit....doesn't matter the weight. Why do you think Roach and Arum agreed to put Pacquiao in the ring with Margarito. Fair Enough?
Berto isn't particularly good, having black skin and good flashy hand speed but struggling with average fighters like Collazo isn't really an indicator of elite ability. Margarito from a year or two ago would **** Berto.
Why? For What Reason? And what point does it make? JMM and Pacquiao are both Elite-Level Fighters...and neither one has "that" in which you so Idiotically mentioned. This thread was about a fighter who deserves a shot at the #1 P4P fighter in the World. Yet a fighter that didn't have a License gets a shot at the #1 P4P fighter in the world. The fact that you felt a need to "GO THERE"...tells me and everyone else, All We Need To Know About Where You Are...MENTALLY!!!
i don't condone arum's and roach's actions regarding jmm. but, i think the challenge pertains moreso on the size disparity. if jmm were to face pac, it would probably be at 147. so it's sort of a challenge that jmm needs to prove himself at this weight first before challenging pac. skillwise jmm is one of the best today, hands down. however, he has yet to prove to us that he can bang with the less skilled bigger guys 147 and up. skillwise, jmm is way above margo. i don't think jmm beats him though. jmm has been hurt by diaz and katsidis before. how does he hold up against the power of margo or berto at higher weights?
All the Andre Berto references are solely because he fills a stereotype, flashy black fighter, something Pacquiao hasn't fought, regardless of the fact that he isn't very good. I don't care what the thread is about, but where you took it was down a dubious line of thought involving fiction and Andre Berto. Using capitals and !!!!!!! doesn't make your posts any less stupid.
Oh yeah....Isn't it just down-right Hilarious how both Mosley and Hatton goes 12 rounds with Luis Collazo yet neither one these Elite-Level Fighters (one being undefeated at the time) could just Blow-Right-Through Collazo. In fact Hatton struggled Big-Time even being Hurt in the Later rounds....Yet a 24 Year old kid in his 24th Pro Fight is just supposed Blow-Out a Tough Skilled Vet that Mosley and Hatton couldn't do. And because Berto was in a tough fight...this somehow translates into him being a BUM/OVERRATED/HYPEJOB. It's Hilarious how some posters arbitrarily chooses:think who to call Overrated and who to call "The Real Deal".
Collazo is a tough skilled veteran, thats a nice spin on it, on the hand you downplay Margarito's ability whilst blowing Andre Berto's horn. Your comparison there is stupid on a few levels, for one, theres a big difference between not "blowing through" a fighter, as in Mosley nearly winning every round of the fight against a gatekeeper, and Berto, losing the fight on a majority of scorecards in the fight community. So scrap the sweeping generalisations, its not a good look. Secondly, whocares if it was his 24th fight? It was less than 2 years ago, and he has only had a couple of fights since then. I am not out to get Berto, i just dispute the idea that you can pump his nads, after beating Quintana and notching up a dubious win over gatekeeper Collazo, and on the otherhand down play a Jr MW Margarito as an opponent, who has an assortment of genuinely good performances to his name.
Is he NOT Slow, Is he Easy-2-Hit and does he Lack Defense? IMO, that is not down-playing anything nor anyone.
Dinamita should forget about Manny. He doesnt beat him at this stage in his career He should have one more fight then retire, he really should
You can't post with sensationalist rubbish undertones and then play the denial card when it suits you. The fact that you address Berto as being particularly skilled as some sort of anti-Pacquiao opponent shows how poor your analysis is, learn to pick between the style and substance.
can't blame him really. probably wants a big payday before hanging up the gloves. plus i think he has too much pride and still wants to prove himself to the people. he works just as hard as the other greats in the sport today yet finds himself not earning nearly as lucrative as floyd or pac, despite proving himself time and again.
So by this rationale...Margarito has excellent Defense and Berto has NO skill? Do you even have any idea of the definition of sensationalist rubbish undertones?
that's exactly right. it's just a shame all round. put him in with manny and he might earn a few more million.... but at what cost
You pump capitals, exclamation marks and shitty novelty techniques throughout your post sensationalising your shitty point of view. You only present one side to the story, to further your shitty viewpoint. Andre Berto is athletic, speedy and highly skilled (wrong), Margarito is a slow plodder, you can't pick and choose parts of the full equation to suit you. You are right about one thing, the use of the word undertone is probably incorrect, as your agenda is by no means hidden. Have a nice day.
