    Roach is running around telling people Berto is a real challenge or Roach please explain how you came to the conclusion, who has he beating that tells you he's a real challenge? Roach goes on to say he has power and he has speed. Roach if you want Manny to get Props for beating Berto we will show Manny some love for it, but knock it off with the real challenge bull**** you're not fooling anybody.


    I know a lot of you will say PAC has n options and you're right, but encephalitis PAC said he won't fight till June, let Berto and Mosley get it on early 2011 and pick the winner or let's see how impressive madana, Bradley or Marquez look before calling Berto a REAL challenge. I thing Roach likes to PAC against fighters with ok trainers, so he doesn't have to worry to much about strategy!!!

    it's not Roach's style to say someone is a challenge when he believes he isn't. He said Hatton was a joke, that Pac would murder Cotto, that Clottey wouldn't be able to do anything.

    Well IMO Berto presents a bertter challenge then Mosely if we look at moselys last performances.

    ROACH was also quoted in that article saying... Altough we want to take a challenge like this....

    ARUM and I must choose what puts more dollars in MANNYS pocket...


    So most likely we will be seeing MOSELY or JMM

    Except for FMJ, of course, who else out there is a real challenge for Pac @ WW?

    I do like your idea of having Pac fight the winner of Berto and SSM. I think Roach may be doing a bit too much to legitimize Berto as an opponent. Yes, he has both speed and power. But, Roach is not going to put Manny in against any fighter, not named Floyd Mayweather Jr, that he thinks has real chance of beating Manny. It would be refreshing to see a young up and comer get a shot, and a good look for Team Pac. But, I doubt Roach is worried about Berto.

    Is he desperate enough to go back up to 147?

    I think he will do anything for the fight. He is crazy enough to take it... he wants to give his fans what they want...hopefully someone can tell him to come in at his preferred weight at not try to come in at the limit they set.


    But yeah... If we think realistically Berto is not to far away and may even have a better name then CLOTTEY.....

    So IMO

    MOSELY
    JMM-Berto

    are the only choices being cosidered...

    Arum is rebuilding Cotto So I seriously doubt another clash with him.

    Please pull that thread up!!! There's nothing wrong with him fighting Berto just don't try to pass him as a "REAL challenge"

    Berto is a prime undefeated champion. Other than Mayweather who is a greater challenge at welter?
