    Pac should retire if he does not fight Floyd (or move to light middle).
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I think Berto should stay away from Pacquiao, for now. Take a fight against Mosley or Clottey then move onto the big fights!

    I think Berto is a good fighter and the only thing he lacks is a shot of inspiration to get him going. Who has he fought that put a bomb under his rump.

    He needs to do something.I think he's in career limbo of a sort.He has glaring flaws but marketability,flash with good hands and a nice enough story but runs the risk of being 'caught' going through the second level stage while waiting for breakout name status fight.Its sink or swim time already!!His flaws have become pattern and not being forced to change and improve now.....wont have that luxury vs the very best when the fists are flying.I think Mayweather would toy with him....Pac would be good for a while but Berto has not faced anything resembling that level and pressing demand and Pac down the middle would have a field day with square & lurching Berto.Mosley would still be a solid fight and I think Mosley still upends him late in fight.Mosley tried to box and outspeed Mayweather after hurting him badly,dont think Berto survives that 2nd round frankly and Mosley knows as do we all,Bertos no Mayweather.

    man screw pac man and mayweather.... fans like you are the reason boxers dont get a chance. Styles makes fights and this guy wants to fight the best and putting an effort forward is as good as it gets. Shit people look at hit flaws and write him off like he doesn't have a title. Pac beat clottey WOW everyone who reads this would've rather seen Pac vs Berto no doubt. Even if he lost that fight if he suddenly stood a chance people would think different. But my thing is when will hard working young boxers get there chance? shit Khan just fought and he's fighting in july then the next boxer wanna wait damn near 1yr and a half? that what make boxing gay you chase the famous and dont get road dogs a chance.

    Man...hit a nerve?Calm down with the fans like me generalities and listen to the otherside when putting forth a topic,cool?

    **News** Berto had his big chance and walked away from it vs Mosley....who Mayweather gladly took and dominated.Regardless of reasoning....Berto was handed a HUGE career oppurtunity and walked the other direction!THAT was extensivly his cjance to "win" title on a real championship level.Him having a title or trinket doesnt mean nattas especially when his grooming up until very recently has been more than generous in exposure and level of comp....note I said recently.That poor Berto being suppressed dont wash.He's been treated very generous and is still very green in many ways.
