Roach: "Berto is a real challenge" he's at it again!!

Margarito was able to do what most of us want to do.

Punch a congressman in da face.

 

Cotto rematch isn't going to happen. I don't know why that fight is even brought up.

Mosley fight might happen just because Shane would sell out to take a pay day and be a part of a big fight. If I was HBO, I would want no part of that fight. And really...If HBO nixes that fight and says no 24/7, that fight wouldn't do too well financially.

If Marquez beats Katsidis, particularly if he looks good in doing so...I think there's a really good shot of Pacquiao-Marquez fight happening despite promotional issues. Marquez would sell that fight real well. And I think legacy wise (and pacquiao does care about legacy), an emphatic win in a 3rd match vs Marquez does a lot for his legacy.

Berto is an interesting case...If he beat a 'name' fighter (cotto, mosley, margarito), that's a fight they could sell real well. However, despite likely being Pacquiao's toughest test at 147 and below besides Floyd, that's a difficult fight to sell to the casual public. Even with his undefeated record. I don't see Berto-Pacquiao happening unless Berto gets a big win over a name fighter sometime soon...Then the undefeated Berto would have some serious drawing power vs pacman.

If Katsidis finds a way to stop Marquez, a Katsidis-Pacquiao fight is interesting. Not because Katsidis has a chance. But because it would be a war for as long as it lasts, and Pacquiao loves to go to war and put on impressive shows.

And then there's the 4 man junior welterweight tournament going on...Alexander vs Bradley. Khan vs Maidana. The winner of that tourney is a very marketable opponent for pacquiao.

 

not a REAL challenge, but will give him fits...a taste of the so called "BLACK AMERICAN" style...and his haiatian...

 

lmao... As soon as the fight gets made Roach will be saying what a cake walk Berto will be and how they'll starch him easily.

 

I would like to see Pac knock Berto out. It would fun.

 

hey, it's better than mosley or jmm at 147 at this point

 

Bertos a glass jawed bum. If theres a fighter in these bigger weights that PAC would lay out, Its Berto.

 

Collazo beat Berto. I would love to see Pac fight Berto. Pac by knockout!

 

without floyd and sergio being too big for pac, then this unification bout makes sense, a lot better than pac mosley imo.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Collazo is not fast by any means and his straight left is putting Berto in ***** st. This fights a joke.

I mean this is a low risk, low reward fight. He needs big fights. Floyd or nothing for Pac or he should just KO JMM for a farewell just to get him to shut up.

 

Freddie Roach up to his usual horse faced **** talking ways.

 

Only a roach will survive a nuclear war.

 

yeah right and i remember berto criticizing pac being easy to hit, i said wtf. then again,this would be a unification bout at ww, which to me sounds very good for pac's resume'
