People will criticise Pac no matter what. The guy was a freakin lightweight three years ago now he's potentially gonna fight Sergio Martinez at 150 lbs. Don't talk about that catchweight champ shi t, Martinez is the one who's been calling HIM OUT. There's really no one at welterweight. Welterweight was a danger zone a couple of years ago. Manny has pummelled the crap out of Cotto, Margarito and Mosley. Mayweather doesn't want to fight him. Who else is there? Tim Bradley would be another Ricky Hatton-esque mauling. Devon Alexander has no heart and can't sell a ticket. Berto looked terrible against Ortiz and really doesn't deserve the fight. If he fights Ortiz, people are gonna say he's fighting Floyd's left overs. Martinez at 150 lbs isn't the most legitimate fight because Martinez is likely gonna be weight drained, but hey, you can't expect Manny to go up to middleweight to fight him. Manny struggles to even hit the 147 lbs limit. He's a smallish welterweight, and Martinez is, I guess the way I look at it, a huge jr-middleweight/smallish middleweight.
