I would love to see this fight happen. I would give pacquiao a slight chance to beat this guy, but i would think mayweather would stand a better chance. Mayweather would make martinez chase him, and when that happens its over.
No.
He'd easily handle Pacquiao.
Even if he was the same size as Pacquiao he'd give him trouble, but the dude's what, 5' 11"? And a natural 154 lb'er.
No way this fight should happen.
From what I just witnessed hed stop Pac in 3 rounds.
Glad to see you realize true talent. Martinez is no joke....I too think he beats Pac within 6 rds.
No way. Pac doesnt belong at 154 let alone 160, where Martinez is obviously going to stay.
Are you sure?
154 is a better division and a lot bigger paydays for Martinez. He can fight guys like Margarito and Cotto, or have some welterweights move up to fight him at 154. He has a lot more opportunities to make more money at 154 compare to staying at 160. Martinez would beat Pacquiao and Floyd has a chance of beating Martinez at 154.
Martinez would commit legal homicide...he would match Pac in speed and the power would be too overwhelming. I also don't think it can be debated where the power lies. Martinez would wreck him and the entire Phillipine nation would just murder itself.
There are some fights that should be made
Pac can't beat elite fighters who laterally move and have great ring generalship, and good counter punching ability. Unfortunately their aren't many fighters out there with these attributes. @ 154lbs Martinez>Pac
Pac at 154 is a stretch especially since a 154 fighter usually comes in at around 165-170.
Pac would still be well below 155 on fight night if such a fight ever occurred.
Too big.
