I see where you messing up here & I'll explain why. It's the failure to think like a manager/matchmaker.
Why would Berto's team agree to face Thurman when they are in the process of rebuilding his career? As I said, Berto has his own team looking out for his best interest. Your looking at this from the point of view of why isn't Thurman fighting Berto when the reality of it is why would Team Berto want to fight Thurman? Berto didn't just hire Virgil Hunter, move out of California, just to be rushed into another loss.
Berto has had multiple bad losses. He can't afford another one. That's not how you manage a boxing career. For his next opponent, you look to step up from Lopez, but you don't go that extreme. They are taking Berto's career VERY seriously & the whole rebuilding process.
Your really out here talking about a battle of Florida, comparing Thurman/Berto to Broner/Porter. Doesn't make any sense when Berto is in a rebuilding stage.
Let me ask you a question. If YOUR guiding Berto's career, are you gonna throw him in with Thurman right now?
You know Berto isn't shyt, which is why your treating him like an opponent, like why isn't Haymon feeding him to Thurman. Team Berto doesn't look at their fighter as just an opponent to bring in at this point.
Your from Florida, so that explains your Berto bias.
Chris Algeri is better than Upshaw & Lopez.
I'll give you Ghost, but he really shouldn't have been in the ring so soon after the beating he got from Thurman.
