It is akin to a powerlifter who takes off weights. What kind of challenge is that??? You put on more lbs to challenge yourself. Taking lbs off to lift weights is a b!tch move and so is calling out fighters who naturally weigh less than you is pathetic! Ain't deserving to be pound for pound. Do yourself a favor and challenge someone like Andre Ward! Prob best for you anyway since when Margarito knocked you out in 7 rounds, Pacquiao and Mayweather will lay you out earlier...EASY!
Common Larry you are better than this... Say what you say, but still Sergio is just being a bully!!! Floyd and Manny atleast went up and challenged a bigger guy, those guys maybe old and shot as some would claim but still they were bigger guys with skills and never bums... Sergio is being a ***** going after Floyd and Manny, if money is his motivation, why not challenge the bigger guys like Hopkins, Bute, Ward, Haye, Klitschko or even Valuev to make it a circus!! Now if Floyd and Manny came up and wanted to challenge Martines for his crown, then i have no problem with that.. Both obviously is at a disadvantage but wanted to fight Sergio for legacy....
MARTINEZ WANTS THE BIGGEST MONEY! FLOYD OR PAC. NOT THE TOUGHEST FIGHT. I would do the same if i were in his shoes! he is not a young man with many more years in the sport!
guess torrecampo can still ko manny by your logic..smh
torrecampo beat manny in his younger years moron....
do you really think people here are dumb as you are hater...
what do sergio,floyd,and manny all have in common
oh.....all have held the wbc 154 title..and thats where sergio wants the fight
So according to your scenario, Floyd and PAC should fight Takahiro Ao. They all have held the WBC Jr. Lightweight title.
I actually like what Sergio is doing and I hope the fight gets made later on down the road.
My issue is two fold.
1. There is nothing wrong with Martinez pursing smaller fighters as that is traditionally what the MW champ has done (Monzon, Haglar, Hopkins LaMotta etc).
2. Those who think Manny is ducking Martinez, not realize how small Manny is even at WW, and the fact he has only been at 147 for a lil over a year and just 3 years ago he was at 130. It's ridiculous for people to expect him to fluctuate up in weight that fast and if he doesn't the. He is some type of ducker.
Even greats like Armstrong and others who went up in weight fought tons of fights in those classes prior to moving up (to allow there body to get use to it) so why can't Manny take a few fights at 147 before moving up?
This is what the mythical P4P ratings do if you start taking them too seriously. Retards start calling for a 160 fighter fighting a 144 fighter and if it doesn't happen, someone is ducking or some **** like the big guy picking on the smaller guy.
1 was against a drunk w/ 2 feet in the betty ford clinic.
the other was w/ his eyes clothes.
haha sergio sucks.
wow now you're trying to discredit his opponents who were vastly superior to pacquiaos last opponents excluding cotto?
F aggot confirmed ....

Fight hopkins martinez, and make bernie take the test
what fame? other than a small group of rabid sergiosexuals on the internet--
-- nobody in real life knows who the F sergio martinez is.
-- nobody in real life knows or cares WTF a "maravilla" is.
-- nobody in real life cares why his trainer "saramento" uses a fake name when u know his real name is HANK MENKOWITZ or something.
INDISPUTABLE FACT: sergio martinez is a PPV FAILURE.
sergo is the sh1t...he got 2 good wins.......lol
all fought at 154..so why not now???ill answer that cause serios not a part time fighter or a shot fresh off of suspension fighter....its skills not size that puts fear into the hearts of pactards and flomos.lol.sergio is the boogyman

i'd rather follow an unpopular fighter with legitimate wins against live opponents than a popular fighter that fights against guys that just wana catch their check...
don't you?
I wouldn't be against Pac/May vs Martinez fight but I don't think it is prop worthy for a bigger guy to call out a smaller guy. Still a mans gotta to eat so from a financial point of view it is understandable.
He just want the money, which everybody is chasing..... And if they formerly holded tittles in 154 they should have no problem in that weight class they were CHAMPIONS in that weight class..... So they should put there money with they're belts were.....
none of the above....we want sergio to fight pirog atleast..or fight guys one division above him just like he wans to fight fghters atleaats 1 div lower than him....
No, the post means that Mayweather and Pacquiao would be the clear favorite against anyone at 154, so Martinez fighting them isn't light work. It'd be fighting the top Jr. Middleweight in the World.
You know? That division, where he was forced to vacate his title even though he didn't want to and said he wanted to defend titles at both weights. That one.
As long as there's more money in the lower weight classes he's going to keep on trying to get those fights.
Pac fought an over the hill Mosley because that's where he could get the most money. Martinez is just doing the same thing. In fact, all boxers do this. There's nothing wrong with that, IMO.
Chances are he won't get either fight, but you can't blame him for chasing the money.
No it's not. You dont see any other MW or SMW calling out little guys that would bring them money. It's a ***** move. I wonder how'd you feel if lets say Angulo calls out Marquez because he just wants a payday.
when did pernell fight at 150??he won his 154 title at..wait for it..154..you cant clain you won a 154 title then say sergios to big to fight at the same fukking weight..you fear sergio plain and simple..hes too damn good
he fought at 145...guess what?..it was a catchweight....
no , i mean catchweight...you know a weight that pac, floyd, sweetpea, ray leaonrd,arstrong, bhop, etc have all fought at......you you what commision rules love more than manny?.. black fighters...

So at 154 Mayweather and Pacquiao are light work (the metaphor fits well "since it's akin to a weightlifter lifting light weights")?
So beating either one of them easily is a foregone conclusion now?
Besides Martinez, who at 154 would be a favorite or even close to it against them?
1. Cotto
2. Cintron
3. Angulo
4. Rhodes
5. Powell
Take your pick... People would likely pick them to beat the top fighters at Jr. Middleweight, but Martinez is too big?
OK...
none of the above....we want sergio to fight pirog atleast..or fight guys one division above him just like he wans to fight fghters atleaats 1 div lower than him....
oh 150-you mean manny weight.lol......how bout manny come in at what ever he wants and sergio go by the commison rules and weigh in at the offical weight class limit of 154..cause you know manny loves the commision rules
no , i mean catchweight...you know a weight that pac, floyd, sweetpea, ray leaonrd,arstrong, bhop, etc have all fought at......you know what commision rules love more than manny?.. black fighters...
