Would you give Mayweather or Pacquiao credit for fighting Martinez at 154 or lower?

Nope anything lower than 154 if either guy were to beat Martinez at that low a weight shouldnt get no credit for that However if Martinez wins he gains big time from that.....

No but we all know that Pacfans are very proud of this , this is why they call Pacquiao a warrior , for his Catchweight fights against Margarito and Cotto

No, simply because Martinez won't be at his best and he literally can't make anything below 154 (and that's pushing it). Martinez is a Middleweight, Pac and May are Welterweights. Martinez is just trying to stay above water considering he doesn't have many options. If it means throwing his name in the sweepstakes, so be it, but those fights never happen.

this is where CATCHWEIGHTS are just perfect....compromise inorder to have a fight for both sides. Somewhere in the middle where it is relatively fair...

you really cant argue Margarito, some you you feel that he didnt deserve a shot or that he shouldnt be allowed fighting, and some of you feel if Manny could have bricks let him have at him....

So really how can people who feel this way about Margarito even think to say that Manny kicking his ass at a catchweight and he was dehydrated etc... is a bad thing? you say he deserves his ass kicked anyways

and so if you dont count Margarito

and you talk Cotto I have to say that was a fair weight for both fighters.....

If 150 is what it will take for the fight to happen than so be it but what's the point if they beat Martinez! Everybody is going to say that Martinez is weight drained if they beat him so there's no point in this fight.

And yet ***** who calls pacquiao a midget who is overated and one dimensional fighter wants him to fight a true middleweight... What a bunch of retards... Just say it, you want him to lose.

Deal With It

Anything lower than 154 is unacceptable for either guy.

In Mayweather's case, if he were to beat Martinez @ 154, it wouldn't even be his best victory in that weightclass, but it would be a solid victory nonetheless.

A victory for Pac over Martinez @ 154 would have more value for him than it would for Mayweather.

But both should challenge Martinez @ 160 for the lineal/RING Middleweight title so the fight can have some added meaning.

Snowballs chance in hell that it ever happens though.

I would, because Martinez is begging for it like a panhandler running up and down the road begging for money, but very few would. If either Pacquiao or Martinez are going to bother fighting Martinez, do it at 154. Nothing to be gained from 150, no matter how Sergio looks or how dominantly they win.
