Berto: "I didn't know I was gonna have to wear track shoes"
http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/berto-i-didnt-know-i-was-gonna-have-to-wear-track-shoes-304969
Is he seriously using the same dumb excuse as every other person? Please be original. Such an idiot. I swear the last 10 Floyd opponents have said the same thing. Did you really think he was going to fight on the inside or are you just trying to be cool and fit in with everybody else and use the same excuse?
And this isn't even about whether you enjoy or agree with floyds style or not. It's about berto pretending like he was surprised that Floyd would fight like that.

Re: Berto: "I didn't know I was gonna have to wear track shoes"
Bertos trying to save whatever selling power his remaining matches have. Lets face it. Hes been beat by every style anyway (ko'd by karass, outworked by ortiz, battered and i'd say somewhat outboxed by the ghost) which is why people saw this as such an unworthy match up. He had no chance whatsoever.

Exactly. What was he expecting Floyd to do.
The problem is, everyone tries to beat by being aggressive so it leads to him becoming even more elusive because his opponent's tactics are so obvious.

Re: Berto: "I didn't know I was gonna have to wear track shoes"
It would be a better excuse if he didn't get the worst of every exchange when Floyd did trade with him ;D Berto did as well as anyone could have expected, but this is weak. He was in range to land plenty, he just couldn't and was doing a fair bit of holding himself when Floyd stood his ground.
-
What a lame excuse. Didn't Berto train with a sprint coach a while back?
-
Re: Berto: "I didn't know I was gonna have to wear track shoes"
Oh come on Andre. This rings even more hollow when you consider he's also lost when far less fighters just bored into him and beat him up :-X. At least he didn't blame his shoulder. Or his socks or toe.

Re: Berto: "I didn't know I was gonna have to wear track shoes"
Berto was never going to trouble Floyd #1 and #2 what the fuck did he expect Floyd to do? Floyd has a style and way of fighting where he wins rounds and that's what he does....why would he stray from that?
-
Re: Berto: "I didn't know I was gonna have to wear track shoes"
Yes he did, the track shoes was in his contract that he signed to fight floyd.
Enjoy your cash and shut up.

Re: Berto: "I didn't know I was gonna have to wear track shoes"
Berto should kiss Floyd's feet and thank him for providing him with a pay day that he did not deserve. Berto was chosen because he damaged goods.
Khan or Thurman would have put up a better effort by granddad Floyd wanted a easy gimmie fight.

Spot on.
It was a totally ridiculous thing to say.
It must have been the least surprising thing in boxing history.

This is where I question the notion that you need to have boxing experience before you can articulate a sensible opinion on the subject.

He definitely had some opportunities to strike and even land. He's not a very fluid puncher.

Re: Berto: "I didn't know I was gonna have to wear track shoes"
I've never seen this running that all his opponents complain about when they cant win a round. A default answer for all of those who thought they were much better then they are in comparison to the guy and all of their believers. Its either that or apparently the person was shot. Never seen any evidence at all over the years and I've seen every fight since Tony Pep. Someone needs to produce some evidence because this is being passed around now through generations. Its the new answer for people who wont stand in front of you. Ironically when he chooses to he actually carves you up so.....
Floyds favourite pass time is not standing in the pocket and engaging. I'm sure that factors in to why he's never lost and had such a long career. He makes you miss and then makes you pay and when you attempt a return he's not there. Thats boxing.

Re: Berto: "I didn't know I was gonna have to wear track shoes"
Mayweather's a runner and he does not deserve to be mentioned among the greats. A drug user at that, he should be investigated.

Re: Berto: "I didn't know I was gonna have to wear track shoes"
Thats not evidence of either charge or anything at all. That is just gossip mixed in with urban legend.

Yup. He runs...his punches on opponents faces while his opponents throw punches all over the place only to miss him.
Go to Wikipedia and search for the word "boxing". There you will see some boxing fundamentals such as bobbing, weaving, ducking, dodging, making opponents miss, blocking, shoulder roll, foot work, stance, cutting corners, etc. which new casual boxing fans confuse with "running". Unless you think a good boxer is the one who stands still and lets opponents hit him. Google "best boxing defense" and tell me who's name appears in the lists.

There was a time when Floyd stood in the pocket and avoided punches and countered consistently. He's regressed tremendously in that aspect (due to age). He's has been taken more shots in the box as of late (Cotto fight was a clear indication). Now, he makes more of a effort to create space and play more cat and mouse.
