Andre Berto Interview (Talks Mayweather / Marquez / Mosley)

[Midnightrambler3760]

@Latenightactor It looks like it will be Floyd/Berto in December.

[senousel]

Haitian in the house!!!!!

[akaTheWave]

Cant have nothin but respect for Berto. I was looking forward to seeing Shane hand him his ass though. But everything worked out in the end. Because there is no fight i want to see more then PBF vs SSM.

[lightweightking]

@akaTheWave :Now that that fight is out of the way. I want to see Mayweather vs Berto so that the victor of Pacquiao vs Margarito will fight the victor of Berto vs Mayweather and they can fight to see who will fight Williams. What do you think?

[akaTheWave]

@lightweightking Im not really too enthusiastic about any matches coming up right now. First Margarito does not deserve a big fight. He should have to go through a ring of fire to get a big fight imo, and Garcia was hardly that. Berto is a very physical explosive fighter but he has too many flaws to beat Floyd. I would expect Berto to get outclassed and Margarito to get chopped up. Paul Williams deserves a fight now more then either of them.

[lightweightking]

@akaTheWave :You might be right. But let's put it this way. If Margarito can't beat his next opponent? He will be taken out of the equation for the rest of his career. So this would be his ring of fire. Especially trying to stop Pac. BUT if he does it? Then he will be an elite fighter and will gain respect all over the community. And Pac will drop down cause of his loss. But who cares about this now. Pacquiao vs Mayweather is going to happen and I am excited about that. But more questions now.

[Midnightrambler3760]

@lightweightking The hot rumor now is that it will be Floyd/Berto in December.

Pac will not fight the winner, Pac will have a rematch with Cotto.

Arum has no intention of putting Pac anywhere near Floyd.

P.S. Floyd will take Berto apart.

[lightweightking]

@Midnightrambler3760 :Nice! Now that we have Pac vs Margarito in Arlington? And it's just a hop skip and a jump from my house. Literally. I will be watching all of the upcoming fights. I really hope one of them ends up as fight of the year.

[Midnightrambler3760]

@akaTheWave Well you saw Floyd vs SSM. Now we will see him destroy Berto also.

[guitarmagic23]

do you watch boxing? lol

[Midnightrambler3760]

@KeepDuckingFloyd You must feel like an idiot saying that Floyd would duck Mosley. Instead, Floyd handed Mosley his ass.

Funny, I haven't seen your apology anywhere.

[KeepDuckingFloyd]

@Midnightrambler3760 apologize for what? floyd ducking shane until the world made him fight shane? floyd should be apologizing for ducking shane until the world demanded he fight shane. thats sad. smh :(

[Midnightrambler3760]

@KeepDuckingFloyd It was Shane ducked Floyd for years.

There is a great video of Shane in the ring after a fight and when asked about Floyd he made numerous excuses. Roy Jones was commentating and he joked that Shane wanted no part of Floyd because he had too much to lose at that point.

You might look at pac's shameful ducking of Shane last year. Shane went to pac's gym numerous times to get a fight and was told he would have to come to 142 lbs.....now that is ducking :-)

[Midnightrambler3760]

@Midnightrambler3760 Even now...why does pac pick Margarito and not Mosley?

Mosley smashed Margarito to pieces, shouldn't Mosley be the most logical opponent.

[HANDSBOXINGSHOW]

Berto is still the possible heir to the welterweight division, but nooooot yet! EXPERIENCE prevails in this match up... Mosley does well against pressure fighters (i.e., Vargas, Mayorga, Margarito, etc.) & this fight will yield the same result...

[savealotakeem]

shane by ko

[THEVACUUMPILOT]

VOTE 4 PEDRO

[guitarmagic23]

Mayweather is a welterweight right??? Why is he not fighting legit welter? Can someone enlighten me? Lol

[chopstar420]

@guitarmagic23

because he's a fucking coward

[Midnightrambler3760]

@guitarmagic23 Wasn't Mosley a legit welterweight? Now we will see Floyd/Berto in December. Isn't Berto a legit welterweight?

[guitarmagic23]

@Midnightrambler3760 my post was 7months ago dude.

when pacquiao challenged mayweather. mayweather said that he wants to stay away from boxing because of his foundation bullshit. and now that pacquiao-margarito is almost a done deal. mayweather is back again fighting berto on december. so WTF??

[Midnightrambler3760]

@guitarmagic23 When did Pac challenge Mayweather?

[lightweightking]

@Midnightrambler3760 :Um..... Did you see his last fight? He called him out finally. So that is actually his first call out of Money May. So now it's up to May to get his way into the fight. Why doesn't he want to fight? Why doesn't Bob Arum want Manny for fight Floyd? Who knows? I just want to see good fights now. I'm not really caring about Pac vs Floyd anymore. It's too much of a song and dance. All talk no action by both of them.

[Midnightrambler3760]

@lightweightking Arum has an in-house policy, he only has Top Rank fighters fight each other, that way Arum gets everything.

Arum has arranged a little tournament. He will have Pac/Margarito and Chavez/Cotto. No matter what the outcome Arum will win.

If Pac and Cotto win then we will have the REMATCH

If Pac and Chavez win then we will have CAN CHAVEZ AVENGE THE MEXICAN LOSSES TO THE MEXICUTIONER

If Margarito and Cotto win then we will have REVENGE

Arum wins either way.

[guitarmagic23]

@Midnightrambler3760 but still.. mayweather didnt accept pacquiao's challenge. alright lets put it this way. so you floyd fans can understand it easily.

If... Mayweather wont fight Pacquiao

THEN it will be Pacquaio VS another TOP Rank Fighter.

so who is the pussy??

[Midnightrambler3760]

@guitarmagic23 When exactly did Pac challenge Mayweather?

You mean when Arum never sent the make-believe, fantasy, pretend, non-existant contract?

You are correct, Floyd shoudl have used his magic tinkerbell pen to sign rum's fantasy contract, then they could have fought in Neverneverland.

Arum has been working on Pac/Margarito for months, everyone knows it. Top Rank employee Michael Marley admitted it.

[guitarmagic23]

@Midnightrambler3760 its impossible that the pacquiao challenge news didnt reached floyd. cmon man. its a big news during that time that pacquiao agreed to everything and there are lots of writers and boxing fans who spread the news over the internet. if myweather is really interested to fight pacquiao, then he must have atleast react to the challenge, instead of hiding inside his may foundation.

[Midnightrambler3760]

@guitarmagic23 Do you honestly think Floyd is supposed to respond to every comment that pac makes in an interview in manila or to every ridiculous comment Bob Arum makes?

He is Floyd Mayweather, they need him more than he needs them. When they are ready to fight Floyd they can pick up a phone and call him, until then they can keep making stupid comments in the media and then run and fight another washed up mexican.

[Midnightrambler3760]

@guitarmagic23 It is hilarious that pac will make comments about how much he wants Floyd while all the time he knows Arum is working on a fight with Margarito.

I guess it is easy to challenge Floyd when you know your promoter has no intention of putting you anywhere near him, LMAO!!!

Hell, I can call out Floyd Mayweather also, LMAO again!!!!

[Midnightrambler3760]

@guitarmagic23 Pac walked away in March to fight Clottey and now he is walking away again to fight margarito, two bums.

Who will Pac's next opponent be...Lady Gaga?

Floyd insulted pac and all Filipinos the other day, hwo did pac react, did he demad Floyd, no......he reacted with such anger and fury that he signed with margarito, LMAO!!!!

Floyd just proved pac is too cowardly to defend his own people, he would rather fight a washed up Mexican...some warrior!!

[Midnightrambler3760]

@lightweightking Personally Arum will make more money off Pac/Margarito as he takes 28% of each guys purse plus he keeps all the PPV.

if pac fight Floyd then Arum only get 28% of half of the revenue as Flody takes the other half.

So while Pac persoanlly will make more money for Floyd it makes more sense for Arum to have pac fight smaller fights and only when pac is finally done he will feed him to Floyd.

[Midnightrambler3760]

@lightweightking Make no mistake, Roach and Arum are well aware that Floyd will end Pac's myth. Who will want to watch pac after Floyd takes him apart easily?

Arum would rather milk Pac for 2 or 3 more fights and when he is basically done he will feed him to Floyd.

[lightweightking]

@Midnightrambler3760 :LOL! So you think that Margarito is going to be a walk in the park? Or maybe he will be fighting someone of worth like Berto or Mayweather? But I doubt that. Because Arum is just a greedy piece of shit. So maybe his son dying is a wake up call to him? Which he won't listen to. So.... Now that the weight thing is coming up with the steroids? Pac is using roids, plain and simple. But to say that Pacs career won't be taken out by Margarito, is just an insult to boxing.

[Midnightrambler3760]

@lightweightking I think Margarito will be a total cherrypick.

Margarito was smashed to pieces by Mosley and then in his come back fight he looked absolutely dreadful.

The one sire way to know if Margarito will be a cherrypick is the fact that Pac is fighting him, Pac only fights cherrypicks.

[Midnightrambler3760]

@lightweightking To say that Margarito will not beat Pac is not an insult to boxing it is teh truth. The insult to boxing is that Arum will put them in the ring and then convince everyone it is worth while.

[lightweightking]

@Midnightrambler3760 : If you don't think it's going to be worth while? Then don't watch it. Plain and simple, why do you have to put up your opinion like it matters? When they fight, all you have to do is watch Ice skating or something. So what does Arums fighters and everyone elses fighters do when they are up for a fight? They train and fight, no matter who or what is said. It's not anyone's job to sit there and watch the damn fight. If you don't like it? Plain and simple, don't watch it.

[Midnightrambler3760]

@lightweightking You are correct, I will not purchase the PPV and I suspect not many other people will either.

Besdies the Pactards who think everyone Pac fights is a brilliant opponent, most of the boxing world realizes what a farce this fight will be. Think about it...Floyd just schooled the guy who smashed Margarito to pieces in his last real fight.

It amazes me how Floyd is held to a higher standard. If it was Floyd who fought Clottey and Margarito he would be highly criticized.

[lightweightking]

@Midnightrambler3760 :Let me just tell you something. Only the true boxing fans will be watching this fight. Only the bandwagoners won't because they complain about what they don't want to watch and don't think should be. Sorry to let you know. This isn't about you or you're little $50.00, only true boxing fans will be the ones watching this fight.

[leon323]

shane is going to win the fight

[Midnightrambler3760]

@leon323 "shane is going to win the fight"

Any other brilliant predictions you would like to make?

[blahness666]

nah lol i dont see this dude beating mosley, hes good but as he speaks in this interview i can already see his head snapping to the right from a mosley left hook lol, if bertos smart he wont try to slug it out with mosley, if hes smart hes gonna box on the outside all night and use his athletic youth against mosley and try to jab him away, but either way i see mosley eventually tapping into that chin..

[BROWNREDFOWL]

a victory over shane mosely by ko or decision will put him on greatness.he has to beat shane in order for a new welterweight star to rise

[BennyGTV]

Supposedly they're trying to ink it for January 30th

[BennyGTV]

4. Shane Mosley

Points: 148

Record: 46-5 (39 KOs)

Title: WBA welterweight champion

Last outing: TKO9 over Antonio Margarito on Jan. 24

Previous ranking: T4

Up next: Welterweight unification fight with Andre Berto in January

Analysis: On outside looking in on Pacquiao, Mayweather sweepstakes

[axel151]

Shane will knock him out.

[Sammy2g3]

Berto is WBC champion for the welterweight division. Belts doesn't matter anymore.

[Mach2411]

Berto is good...not great...but he should soon be.

[SinCityMadman]

Berto, Mosley, Mayweather, PacMan, Cotto any combo will make a great fight....as already proved by the Cotto/Mosley fight and will be proved again by the Cotto/PacMan fight

[madchronic]

athletically capable of being the best. definitely needs tons of work though

[playa8100]

A lil defense would help him

[sammy]

Berto is still young and has tremendous power. He will be great, just give him some time!

[OTKP]

yeah Berto is young let him continue to improve he will be up their with the top guys in that 140-147 division soon, just need to work on his defense

[methodandmadness]

Shane just signed for three HBO spots next year. That's THREE. I have little doubt that Berto will be one of his victims.

[BennyGTV]

They are fighting on January 24th!!!

[methodandmadness]

Where'd you hear that?

[BennyGTV]

Nevermind its been scrapped, my apologies bro

[xxViPer500xx]

he lost to collazo!!

[Jason200384]

I think its a good thing he's taking his time.

[akonidai]

mayweather aint shit. pacman will flush peemarquez in the toilet at 144 fair and square.dont forget last pacman vs peemarquez fight was 130lbs.

[jcsgasco]

berto just need a more promotion and he'll get those big money fights. boxing wise his great and may even upset mosley or cotto and unified the welterweight belt. the guy has speed and power in his combo. This guy is under rated.

[smarter2006]

Man this guy is good but I'm not giving him no credit.. it's seems to me that he's not improving at all to be honest.. you have to keep getting better each and every fight but he hasn't showed me he's ready for the big dawgs yet.. and he needs to fight collazo again because that fight was questionable

[marveloushop]

i think he needs to fight real ww no jww and get a rematch with collazo then money fights, hes good but not superstar good... plus he thinks hes the shit which he hasnt demonstrated

[cjz337]

he'll be the champ at 147 one day.boy is a beast.

[memorylane7]

He barely beat Collazo if at all. Against Mayweather, Cotto, Pac, Mosley, and maybe even Clottey he'll lose. Mayweather will pot shot him all night. Cotto would take him out late along with Pac. Mosley would be pretty competitive.
