Middleweight king Sergio Martinez has taken a swing at Manny Pacquiao over his selection of opponents. Martinez would like to face Pacquiao at some point. He doesn't expect the fight to ever happen, because of their difference in height and weight. Instead, Martinez is focusing his energy on getting fights against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and WBA 154-pound champion Miguel Cotto.
More so than his fights, Martinez is obsessed with becoming the number one pound for pound fighter in the world. If he can't fight Pacquiao, the goal is to fight better boxers than Pacquiao.
"While he continues to fight with opponents who have no chance of winning, and I continue to fight against the best - one day I will [become the best pound for pound fighter]. Because I know that I have to face reality that it's almost impossible [to fight him] given the height and weight. It makes more sense to go after fights with Miguel Cotto or Floyd Mayweather Jr. Against either of them, I'd love to show that I'm at an amazing point in my career," said Martinez.
