Joke of a fight. If it's on Showtime I will likely TIVO it. No way would I pay any money to see that farce. Floyd has had a great career and I'm not holding it against him to fight a weak opponent on the way out, but NO WAY in hell would I make an idiot of myself and pay for THAT. For the guys saying they will gladly pay to watch that farce, u must make some pretty damn good money to be happy to waste it. Or u r related to Floyd, one or the other.
If its Berto we know what to expect. It’s a poor choice but is he really that much worse than guys like Guerro and Maidana. Alvarez was abit green and Pac was on the way down and injured so you can pick holes in any opponent if you go down that road. Ortriz was pretty bad too and Bertos another that isn’t given much hope of actually winning.
Stylewise Khan would have been a stiffer test IMO but at the same time with two KO defeats and appoints loss theres not much between him and Berto. Andre has struggled with Collazo, Ortiz and Guerro and never fulfilled his potential when he was being billed as a new mayweather.
On the positive side he has a decent punch and good speed when he is on form but its very difficult to make a case for him being competitive in this one. He took a mauling from Guerro but made it to the final bell despite those injuries so Its hard to make a case for Floyd stopping him. 12 rounds written all over it. Floyd UD
a lot ofeople being a bit harsh on berto, I would prefer to see floyd fight some one better but berto is still a decent fighter. He's Not as bad as rios or Algeri and it was fine for pacman to face them.

First off, NEITHER was "ok" for PPV, but they were "ok" as opponents because Manny was coming back after a ko loss with Rios and #3 P4P Bradley when he fought Algieri. I didn't waste my money on either of those fights, and was glad I didn't. I don't blame Floyd for taking on Berto (shot at this point and not nearly consistent enough to pose ANY threat, but still a fighter who I'm ok with him fighting), but u have to be a moron or Floyd hugger to pay ur hard earned money to see that garbage.
I'm a Floyd fan but Berto is a shit fight, given the fact that he (supposedly) only has 1 or 2 fights left.
Porter would have been much more interesting (avenging his "little brother"), or of course Keith Fuckin Thurman!
Even a guy like Danny Garcia moving up would be sweet.
Andre Berto is lose/lose for Floyd. He dominates and Berto wasn't shit. He has a hard time and he sucks because Berto wasn't shit.
I think at this stage everything is lose/lose for Floyd because people will shit on whoever he fights and the excuses will start once the fight is over.Quote:

There will always be an excuse.
But back to the thread Berto isn't the worst choice but there are better choices out there.
Like I said before Bradley is the most deserving but the politics wont allow for that.
Berto holds a belt.
Berto is a Floyd clone mate.Quote:

Floyd already avenged one Broner loss and got much more then he bargained for.Quote:

Maybe we are serious about boxing and willing to sacrifice here and there to watch it.😎Quote:

He's actually a Shane clone style wise. He even closes his eyes on the inside when he throws.
I dont mind the fight. I doubt its his last and its free.

That belt holds up his trousers. :)
Might as well throw another belt on TBE's stack!
Word is it's gonna be on free tv so all you poor assed losers who blew your hopes and dreams and futures by betting on PED free Manny can watch history matched by TBE!
