I like a fight with Berto way more than with Mosely. I echo Killer, Martinez at 154 or Mayweather at 147 is the only way to go.

I'd like to see the Berto fight. I'd want to see just how good Berto is.
Not that good I suspect.
It has to be Martinez or Mayweather next. If they can't then a fight with Bradley or Berto wouldn't be too bad an alternative, though I'm not sold on Berto he may be able to hurt Pac and he has good enough speed to come close to him in that fight. I'd imagine he'd get beaten comfortably inside the distance if it happened though.
You know what they say, you know you made it when you have tons of haters.Quote:

Berto young undefeated quick powerful and Black. Fits the bill. It's a go for me.
Berto would be a good fight.
Eugh.... isn't color supposed to be trivial in making the best match up possible??Quote:

I guess we'll wait and see how Berto looks against his next opponent whateverhisnameis.
i actually think this fight between berto and pacquiao, if it happens, would be very competitive. for one, berto is young, can bang and tremendous handspeed for a welterweight.
Berto is robotic and never changes his gameplan. If he fought Pacquiao he would be beaten badly. He has a lot of skills but he doesn't use it to its maximum advantages. He leads too much with non accurate shots, and his shots are never delivered fluidly. If he wants to be effective he shouldn't rely so much on his speed with no substance around it.Quote:

Berto would be my 1st choice. a long time belt holder at 147, Young and undefeated.
Sergio Martinez would be a very difficult, Pac might retire right away if he takes on Martinez, huge huge size difference and there's no point if the fight doesnt happen at middleweight which is a big big stretch for Pacquiao.
Ok, sorry for the confusion, I really thought it was serious at some point, not only because some person like B-Hop said it but I've heard it around me and I am always feeling to do the facepalm when I hear such argument:)Quote:
