Berto also considered to be Pac's next opponent

[generalbulldog]

I think Berto is really limited though. A fight with Tim Bradley at 140 would be much more tempting for me.

Bradley is too small to fight Pac. That fight ain't happening at 140. Berto is a good option if the Floyd fight doesn't come off and Berto does need to step up his level of competition. Berto will be 28 next year and will be in his 8th year as a pro.

From the comments above, it seems that whoever Pacquiao fights among the three: Mosley (old), Berto (limited) or Bradley (small), he will still be criticized.

So if that fight with Mayweather does not happen, what is Manny supposed to do?

welcome to floyds life.......pac vs berto would be a decent scrap. Berto is highly overpaid and has had soft opposition but i also think he's underrated. Pac will be critized for fighting any other than floyd hopefully he like floyd will care less.

Remember this is the Berto that people said Shane would ruin that had trouble with Quintana and people said Mosley would have ruined him.

But now some people will act like Berto is actually a threat to Pacquiao.

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.

He has skills, and he has speed, but he fights like he doesn't know what to do with all of it.

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.

A fight with Berto is the most promising of anyone out there aside from Floyd.

Pac-Berto would be entertaining....... while it lasted.

[killersheep]

Berto has horrible footwork and doesn't understand his identity when faced with adversity.
I don't know why anyone would think this would be a good fight at all.
Berto has quick hands, Pac has quicker hands and mobility.

None for me thanks.

Ya Berto is a banger just like Pacquiao used to be, just not as quick. But, I can just see Pac being sucked into a pissing contest to make an entertaining fight.

Sergio Martinez at 156, Money May at 147, otherwise opposition in congress. He has his legacy, I admit he's in a tough spot competition wise, because he is that much better than everyone else out there. That being said it would be a waste of time (albeit a profitable waste of time) to fight these guys that have been mentioned, because he needs resistance. He won't get any resistance out of those fights.
To be honest I think that the most credit should come from Bradley.

[milmascaras1]

a berto/pacquiao fight would be very intriguing because berto is in his physical prime, undefeated and can match pacquiao's handspeed (almost) and i believe has more raw power than pacquiao. i doubt roach takes this fight though. too dangerous!

Manny will earn limited credit for beating ANYONE but Mayweather.. That is true... If Mayweather doesn't work, he's got to fight someone, so of course he doesn't earn the props that he would get for beating Mayweather, but it will be another challenger with another mindset/style/preperation,,, challenge,,, that he has beaten.. Another small question answered..
But there will still be detractors..

Even if he fought Pavlik or Hopkins people would still detract from a win...

Guess we just have to accept that when you put yourself in a whole other league, you suffer a whole other league of standards that people expect of you before they give you your props..
