    He actually expects people to pay for this :lol: the cheek! Free tv would've made it a little bit more tolerable. Not an atrocious opponent but a poor one tbh, at least Rios was chosen after Pacman got KTFO and Algieri because he beat the literal only other guy in their stable, Mayweather has no excuse, yeah he's fought a murderer's row and constant mandatories and guys off their biggest wins but when you're this close to the end, no excuse for this choice. Khan, Thurman, Brook or Porter were the four he had and he picked Berto, I wonder how motivated he can get because if he's lacking in it, Berto is no dustbin man is he?

    He just schooled #48 the #2 P4P fighter in the world yet he's ducking top contenders log off man. I would like to see him fight Khan, Thurman or Brook to but they won't beat him anyway.

    Guerrero beat Berto.
    Algieri would beat Berto
    Rios would knock Berto silly.

    And what's even more frustrating is knowing he probably would've beaten all of them.

    If you watched his ALL ACCESS, its mentioned many times by different people that Floyd won't take a risk ever. He has talent but was afraid to be great. He's one of the only p4p champions in history who would take a huge hit to legacy if he has but one loss... Not because Floyd is held to higher standards, but because his own standards are so low that anything less is very damaging to him.

    Yes he did fight who he was supposed to... Margarito and Williams aside? Margarito had a poll here, Mayweather was voted around 84% to UD him...

    Martinez and Golovkin = daring to be greater, not supposed to.. who else? Look at his resume, it's not bad is it for this era?

    He has nothing else left to prove man, he's 38. He can fight who he wants to at this point he's earned it. Would I like to see him fight Khan, Thurman or Brook instead of Berto yes but he doesn't have to he's already an ATG and the best fighter of this era with or without them.:deal

    He's been fighting who he wants (cherrypicking) since he lost to Castillo and ran from him in the rematch.

    Wrong he has dared to be great if he didn't he could have stayed at 130 or 135 his whole career and absolutely tooled guys. Moving up 5 weight classes is daring to be great if you say it isn't you have no credibility. People like you are just mad that his career is coming to an end and you're not going to see him lose. And lets be honest for a second neither Khan, Thurman or Brook would beat PBF and he would be the big favorite over all three they do nothing for his legacy.

    Didn't dare to be great get the hell out of here he was simply too good for this era period.:deal

    Floyd only moved up for the paychecks...he is on record saying he doesn't fight for legacy, just for paychecks... On record.

    When he had the opportunity to prove his greatness he retired.

    :good

    NO WAY was Floyd going to earn multi-million dollar paydays fighting at 130 or 140.

    SRR, SRL, RD, ODLH...

    just some fighters who moved up and weren't chicken sh!t to challenge themselves against the toughest opposition.
