    3) Khan is easy work, so it doesn't matter.

    4) Why does he need to retire if he's still the best? To find any competition you have to name a guy that is 20 lbs heavier. Meanwhile, that same guy is ducking Ward because of 4 lbs.

    You Floyd haters are clowns.
    If Berto is "solid" then who isn't.

    He loses as often than he wins in recent years and not to top guys, to other "solids", gatekeepers and borderline journeymen like soto karass.

    "Solid, rugged, heart", all nice ways of saying someone is shot and has a puncher's chance.

    Except Berto does not have a puncher's chance, he has no chance at all.

      It's either Berto (low risk, low reward) or Khan (high risk, high reward). Who he goes for, depends on what he wants out of his career finishing fight. Does he want glory? Does he want an easy bye bye fight?
      How is Khan high reward?

        What would you guys say if Floyd fought both Berto and Mayfield on the same card on the same night, back to back, for 49 and 50? I cant recall such being done in the modern era of Boxing. What are ya'lls thoughts on something like that?

          So why do you want to watch any fight with Andre Berto? Maybe I'd care who Mayweather was fighting if C-level opponents line Berto and Mayfield weren't the front runners. I want to see fights I'm excited about and I cannot bring myself to care how the badly the #1 p4p fighter beats the fuxck out of a low quality opponent.

          #2 Has no truth at all. Berto is not in his prime, has no big victories, knocked out by Karass and lost to Ortiz and Guerrero. Won interim by barely getting past Josesito Lopez. I'd laugh at any top five welter taking him on.

          I think it's even funnier to see the Willie Monroe Jr and Algieri comparisons that were being made when those are not even close to comparable. An equivalent pick to them right now would be someone like Sadam Ali. Young, up and coming respectable contender. Still an easy fight but at least it's not a washed up, once a B level fighter (maybe), Andre flippin Berto.

            I'd be laughing the whole way through.

              ... 'Surely an announcement by Floyd is imminent'...

              Why?

                Berto is getting the fight just to rub it in Khan's face. No need for an announcement, no one is paying for that rubbish so it better be on PBC.

                  People who say they don't care who Floyd is fighting next are liars. They will run onto boxing scene to discuss it when he announces his opponent and they will watch the fight

                  Now onto Floyd, I do agree with people that say this is getting slightly a little tiresome now. The whole charade of the Mayweather sweepstakes, who will be the lottery ticket winner etc.. Why not just announce it like a normal fighter..

                  Nearly end of July now... Fight is scheduled for September. 8 or so weeks away. Not totally out of the realms of possibility that Floyd might not even fight this September.

                    I don't care who's he's fighting. If its someone decent I'll watch, if not I won't.

                    I do care that he's holding up all the match making at 147.

                    No Khan-Thurman, Khan-Porter, Thurman-Porter, Brook-Thurman, Brook-Bradley, Khan-Brook can be entertained until his little "power show" comes to an end.
