Why is it okay for Martinez to fight at SMW, but not okay for Martinez to fight Pac?

[Wreckless]

Easy. Because Martinez started his career at 147, and Pacquiao started at 108.

Pacquiao is 5'6. Martinez is 5'10
Pacquiao has no business fighting at 147, he never once weighed in the 150's for any fight. The most Martinez weighed for a fight is in the light 170's.

Floyd also has title at 154 and he much bigger/taller than Pac. Why Floyd fans keep saying Pac should Martinez but can't say the same to their boy? Strange isn't it? Can't you see if they fight at 154.

Pac weigh in 144, fight night 147-148
Sergio weigh in 154, fight night 170-175

Sergio 170 minimum
Pac 148 maximun

do the math how many lbs Sergio advantage over Pac!
let me guess....a whopping 22 lbs! it could be more! No wonder the *****s won't dare to mention their **** in the same sentence with Martinez but when it comes to Pac why cannot?

Well, what happens when ur on vacation... u don't fight people. Anybody who holds their breath for a Mayweather fight will die disappointed. Manny, on the other hand, seems to have a nack for fighting within 6 months or so of his last fight. So why couldn't he pick Martinez?

It's like I always say about Nonito Donaire, if he can make the bantamweight limit then he deserves to fight there.

Same thing with Sergio. If he can make 154 pounds he should be given a shot at the 154-pound title that Pacquiao has.

Sergio himself said that Manny is too small....nuff said!

lol! Everybody know Floyd fake retirement and vacation were sugar coated candy = ducking fighters who has s big chance of beating him.

Why is it okay for the bigger guy to pick on the smaller guy?

Shouldn't the bigger guy try to challenge himself by fighting bigger opponents?

Where's the glory in fighting smaller and lighter guys?

If you seriously want Martinez to fight a smaller man than you are not truly his fan.

That would be like *******s calling for Pac to fight Juanma Lopez.

What's the point of beating up a smaller fighter?

It's only ever exciting when the smaller guy beats the bigger guy.

[ShoulderRoll]

If Sergio can make the weight then he has to be considered a 154-pounder. Do you think that Donaire is picking on a smaller man in Montiel?

[serv]

Those people who are saying Martinez should be ashamed of himself for wanting Pac and then go on to say he should fight at super middleweight are hypocrites. The super middle weight guys are just about 20 pounds heavier than Martinez and are also 4 inches taller. Somehow it's okay for Martinez to fight with that "disadvantage", but it's not okay for Pac?

Example:

Sergio doesn't have to look for a fight in SMW if he doesn't want to. Martinez should call out Margarito at 154 instead... I will give him props if he calls out margarito who is his own size.

The funny strange thing is....they are not even Martinez fans or Pac fans but the *****s/Floyd fans calling Pac to fight Martinez! LOL!

[bojangles1987]

Those are two incredibly different scenarios that are unbelievably dumb to compare, but Sergio really shouldn't be considering 168 at the moment. He has barely fit into middleweight yet, he needs to do so because he will be giving up a lot of advantages right now.
