    Comments Thread For: Larry Merchant Talks Marquez, Berto, Khan-Maidana

    This past weekend was another successful one for proven champion Juan Manuel Marquez as the Mexico City fighter defended his WBA and WBO lightweight titles with a thrilling 9th round TKO over rugged Australian Michael Katsidis at the MGM Grand. It was vintage stuff from Marquez, as the 37-year old rose off the canvas in the third round and proceeded to pick his younger foe apart with accurate and devastating blows. Referee Kenny Bayless had no choice but to halt the action after seeing how helpless a reeling Katsidis was a little over two minutes into the round.

    The whole Berto thing not being a draw is just a cop out.

    Is a shame too cuz Pac destroys him inside 5 rounds.

    I agree with Merchant with everything else he said.

        A cop out for what?

        He doesn't draw and hasn't fought anyone above B-class fighters anyway. No-one is clamouring for that fight, even the hardcore boxing fans around here are undecided whether they want to see Berto-Pac.

          Pac should unify the belts. He should go for Berto or one of the Eastern Europeans with the other belts at 147.

          Have the fight in the UK with Khan on the undercard.

          GBP-Top Rank should do a deal.

            The whole Berto is not a draw is a cop out to not fight..

            No one is clamoring for Shane fight either or a JMM at WW... But, that seems to being considered.

            So again the whole Berto is not a draw is a cop out.

                Is Pac not a draw? Can he not sell a fight just by himself?

                Then you add a first African American fighter

                Unifying titles

                Undefeated prime fighter

                You telling me, Arum who is such a great promoter can not sell that? All that will not do more than the Clottey fight?

                The whole Berto is not a draw is cop out... It is the same thing Floyd did for a few years. Used the same cop out.

                    berto was too impressive to be considered a candidate, now if he would've struggled against freddy then thats what arum is looking for.
