Freddie Roach: "I want Pacquiao vs. Martinez" (Latest news Dec 7, 2010)

Roach wants Pacquiao-Martinez Pacquiao-Martinez "most exciting" fight, says Roach Dec 7, 2010 When asked about the next potential opponent in the Manny Pacquiao sweepstakes, Freddie Roach ran down the usual cast of characters—and dismissed them all with relative ease. If Roach has his way, “Pac-Man” will match up with the man who rose to stardom with the most exciting knockout of 2010. “I’d like to see him fight Martinez right away,” Roach said last night during a media roundtable. “ Mayweather, with what he has going on in his life right now; I think he has to handle that before he can even talk about fighting. Sergio Martinez at the right weight I think can be the most exciting fight out there http://www.fight news.com/Boxing/roach-wants-pacquiao-martinez-asap-69458 (please remove space)

Yes, the Pacman can't defeat Mayweather.

I'd respect Manny a lot more if he took this fight instead of going after anybody else. I guess he has to fight Wlad to earn your whole respect?

I'm sure Freddy would love to fight Martinez at 147lbs or some other ridiculous catch-weight. It should be at 154lbs at the very least. At 154 you would still say they drained Martinez. According to Flomos,Pacquiao is ducking Martinez and should jump from 144(wich isn't even his natural weight) to 160. Because it's how a hater is, unfair and hypocrit. What you guys gonna do when Floyd retires, you guys are nuthugging a dude who fought twice in 3 years and hating on Pacquiao cuz he took his P4P number 1 spot.

lol Sergio Martinez at the right weight I think can be the most exciting fight out there roach will prolly make him come in at 147 or under and fight for his title Martinez isn't black, he's slick, but he isn't black. Clottey is black but isn't slick. Hopkins said he has to fight a slick black fighter for gods sake. Slick and black please, Bernard "the self-proclamated prophet" Hopkins said it!!

Roach is clearly sending this message to floyd. I want pac-berto, fighting martinez is plain stupidity. how roach is clearly sending this message to floyd? :thinking: oh ****, when freddy wants sombody, it's over he sees some flaws in martinez. Freddy is probably the best matchmaker in history. :bukkake:

Pac/Marg fight is more of WW fight than a JMW..The only reason that fight has a legitimacy of a JMW is because of the belt.. That title is a farce, but the fight is not... In regards to Martinez, asking Pac to fight the MW lineal champ is asking to much from him.. very true sir.:boxing:

would be nice to see Pac handle his overrated ass fight not gonna happen though enough catchweight shit, and Pac one and done at JMW Martinez overrated? are you smoking crack now?

I heard that Pac and Roach want Sergio to weigh in at 130 lbs, and the fight is at 154 lbs. Another stipulation is that Sergio can't rehydrate until after the fight. what he means is he wants him at 140---lol--and now-- You must be thinking of Floyd's next opponent. Right? For the 147 division, Floyd fought 3 fighters who were career 140 or less (Marquez, Hatton and Sharmba). All 3 had their previous fight(s) at 140 or less. PLUS Zab who just went back down to 140 because he realized that 147 is too high for him to do well as he lost 5 times at 147.

I guess this means that the Mosley fight has been signed so Roach can run his mouth now without the risk of the Martinez fight having a chance at happening.

It would, BUT! I know Freddie is talkn out his A$$ right now, your fighter hasnt fought a slick fighter since JMM, let alone a fighter who KO'd one sum1 that is known for there iron chin, wont happen Martinez makes great adjustment thruout the fight an is strong & quick enough to catch Manny with a counter and drop him. But I dont disagree wit you at all, Ill giv Manny major propz for takin this fight an winning. Glad to hear it!

I love Pac but he needs to either admit he's a fake ass 154 champ or take this fight and let Martinez weight in at the 154 limit put his belt on the line, as well as Martinez's 160 belt. Pac is a moofooking beast, but his 150 BS for a 154 title was pure BS. chea..........
