looking back its shocking how bad Guerrero beat the shyt out of Berto
and berto been cleaning up the $$$ for a minute dudes been fighting for atleast a mil since i can remember

While this is true...I wouldnt think Berto would be getting a milly for Soto-Karass on Sho. HBO was paying him well because he was one of their hype jobs. Dont get me wrong...I like Berto. He is getting paid well for this fight you'd better believe...just not HBO well. Haymon gotta throw Sho some bones knowing that some of the FMJ fights are not going to break even.

Still, in credit to Berto....whether he wins or loses...he is always in exciting fights...and that can somewhat justify his paychecks.

Collazo :whew:
Ortiz :ohlawd:
Guerrero :damn:

even after that failed, he returned to his regular style and still got his ass handed to him :laff: berto just isnt that good period.

I think its unfair to say he isnt good. He couldve beaten Guerrero or Ortiz. He just doesnt box as much as he should. When he boxes he does well because of his athletic gifts. When he goes toe to toe he negates most of his strengths and gives his opponents opportunities.

No way should he have been fighting a puncher like Ortiz or a mugger with excellent IQ like Guerrero the way he did. Alas, thats what makes people tune in to see him though....he goes to war. He aint no chump. With boxing fans, they want to see fighters in wars but expect them to win at the same time. It doesnt work like that. Then they complain when they box with smarts and cant be beat like FMJ. Damn if you do....dont.

How was Zahir Raheem punished for beating Morales??

He was kind of blacklisted nobody wanted him after exposing an ATG, he ruined a Arum pay day and felt that wrath, fighting the lowly Friestas after boxing the hell out of the HOF Morales, Pacquaio then shamelessly duck Raheem to face a Morales coming off an L

:ooh: you going out there primarily for the fight? have you been before? expensive?

Thats the ONLY reason Im going out there! Obviously, when in China dot dot dot but Pacman's my favorite and he's in the twilight of his career so I want to see him live before life doesnt allow it. It is expensive, but fortunately I got the hookup on airfare and a hotel. First time Im gonna be there, cant wait!:takedat:

:pacspit:

He beat an out of shape Morales then lost his very next fight.. and got KO'd 3 fights later... Pac was barely making 129 when Zahir fought Morales at LIGHTWEIGHT.. stop with the lies bytch boy.. Zahir Raheem was a horrible example.. so now I ask again... How is Rigondeax being punished with only 12 fights under his belt??
