Sergio Martinez spoke to a radio station from Buenos Aires.
He tell, In 2012 I come back to 154. If Paquiao want 150. Ok I will go to 150. I want Him.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW
this news will appear here in a couple of hours.
grettings from Buenos Aires.
I would love for someone to tell me when the last time the middleweight champion moved down in weight to chase two welterweights was. It's pathetic. Middleweights have fought guys that were best at welterweight, but that always involves the welterweights moving up to chase the middleweight, not the other way around.
Pacquiao-Martinez is lose-lose for both fighters IMO. If Pacquiao loses, he's a bum. If he wins, Martinez was weight drained. If Martinez wins, he cherry picked a smaller man. If he loses, he lost to a midget.
Martinez is doing Manny a favor by going to 150, so for people to bash him is retarded.
I know for a fact that Martinez can make 154, and unlike Hopkins, Monzon, LaMotta, Haglar and others, Martinez isn't a career MW and never struggled making 154.
Martinez is TERRIFIED of Pirog.
And what does he bring to the table vs Pacquiao? If Pac is gonna fight above 147 its gonna be against Canelo for $65 million guaranteed.
If it don't make dollars it don't make sense and fighting Martinez at 150 for no title and no money doesn't make sense.
This is basically the same reason Mayweather "ducked" Margarito and fought ODLH instead. And I'm going to go out on limb and assume that you have criticized Floyd for not taking the Marg fight.
"You tell that sumbich Sergio to come down to the Philippines with that bullsh*t. I'll get hard and rape'em on live TV."

However, an enthusiastic and challenging "Maravilla" recognizes that to get to expose your body size effort requires only one thing: "If it does, it will be a great show. I need time. No less than eleven or twelve weeks. What would be four months to do a job properly and to get down to that weight. It's serious and delicate, but there is something serious behind. And I think it's worth. "
He's saying it'll take him four months to reach 150lb, so presumably he won't just rehydrate back to 170 on fight night. He's going lose some real pounds of muscle.
Pacquiao fans need to quit complaining and making excuses.
152-154 is perfect for this fight and 150 is even better. Manny can beat Martinez and this will be an exciting fight.
FWIW this is what I see happening; Margarito beating Cotto and rematching Martinez in the spring for the 154 title.
Manny faces Bradley around the same time and then Manny faces Martinez in the fall.
Also Floyd vs Manny will never happen, so it's time everyone moves on.
Finally a pac fan that's not trying to protect him!
Why on earth some people don't want the best two p4p fighters (excluding Floyd) to get in the ring together is beyond me, especially if such a compromise can be made.
what's happening to martinez? first he called out pac, disrespected him and when it didn't work he stopped and even said pac is too small for him anyway. then he shifted his focus on floyd, called him out but this time he tried to be respectful. again it didn't work as floyd just ignored him. now he's back to calling out pac again...even insinuating he'll go down to 150.
He's become a whore for a paycheck, and no one will admit it.
whats Pathetic about it? Sergio is risking his life fighting for our entertainment
The man has to make a living and no fights will pay more than
Pac,Mayweather,Canelo or Cotto
I want Martinez to call out Alvarez, Chavez, and Cotto. Those are fights he should want, guys in divisions he fights in.
I'm sick of hearing Martinez claim he's being avoided by two welterweights when his own promoter is trying to make everyone at middleweight that wants to fight Martinez fight each other so Martinez can ignore them.
Sergio should just handle his business, instead of fighting Barker and calling out Pacquiao and Floyd.

you dont read boxing articles do you? pac made clear he'd fight anyone from 150 and below.
Neither do you it seems. Manny clearly stated that he would never fight that high again. He is a small WW.
A couple of months ago you were a WW, so why don't you come down to 147? Or are you only a WW when bigger guys are calling you out?

Manny aint taking that fight.
Floyd aint taking that fight.
Sergio just continues to look like an idiot and talk about fighting people that clearly do not want any part of him.
It's like me talking about fighting Muhammad Ali. It's not going to happen and i sound like a complete cock trying to beat someone up that just doesn't want it.
Line up Cotto or Margarito because I think Chavez Jr and Canelo are going to go the same way as Floyd and Manny and hide with their belts and not fight you. Shame but it is what it is.
This dude walks around at 180-190 and he's calling out WWs??
Dude, man up and go clean up at 168. He's not even a small MW, he could easily carry 168 and probably have even more power.
He's a small middleweight, you're retarded. He can still make 154 and wants to fight at 154. Deal with it. He wouldn't even be the biggest at 164, Cintron would.
