Team Martinez said Sergio is a blown up WW, in their recent interview they said Sergio is a naturally a WW/JMW!!!
Sergio has already fought at WW, Pac is a WW !!!! Lets make it happend!!!
If Sergio doesnt accept he is ducking !!!!:boxing::boxing:
i dont see a problem with them fighting at 150. its just funny how sergio volunteers to go to 150 for the fight.... if pacquiao accepts, pacquiao is fighting at weight drained fighter and forced him to move down a few extra pounds :/
bute said he's willing to go down to 164. he sells out stadiums... has tons of fans. sergio would make a very good payday with him. alot more than barker and dzinziruk for sure. but you dont see him saying **** about bute...... he's too busy calling out a 144 pound man.
We'll see if it happens. I'd certainly be interested and yes Bute is popular in Canada and Romania I believe, but he is still a far smaller draw than Pacquiao or Mayweather.
Pac and May are also considered the p4p best, so I can understand why he is calling them out.
He's also 36, so I believe he desrves and probably needs his big pay day soon.
sergio has been calling cotto out for ages. Cotto wont fight martinez. he scared of maravilla?
For Ages???? LMAO Martinez open his yap the other day, just to get the pay day!!
Anyways, Cotto after Margarito could fight Martinez, Canelo or he will move down(wich is his plan), back to 147 to fight a contender and then Pacquiao rematch
Sergio should try and buld his worth!!!

I agree it does seem a little odd given the size difference...but in all fairness to him...Pac or Mayweather would be where the money is at and you can't blame him for wanting the biggest payday he can get. I think if he was given the chance to make that kind of money he would go down to 147 if he had to and would be very competitive.
If May keeps on ducking Pacquiao (which is a known fact), then let the fight roll after Manny's done with Bradley.
I would love to see Serg fight Pac although everyone knows there will be a lot of naysayers out there to discredit it since both cant fight together at their own weight classes. But that's ok.
But please let Manny take Bradley first.
Pacquiao's team said 150 and Sergio accepted. His advisor said natural WW and that was no doubt a mistake, but he is a natural JMW if anything (which he also said).
Pacquiao fought Margarito at 150 as well and Martinez has never fought over 160. He would also have to gain 8-10 pounds as opposed to the 3 Pacquiao would.
I believe Martinez has said he would be willing to fight at 163-164 against the Super Middleweights.

ok so when martinez wants to fight pacquiao, he's too big for 147, he cant make 154 no more (this is coming out of his mouth, not mine).
but when a super middle weight or b hop calls him out... he's a natural ww, 168 is too big for him, he will never fight over 160.
GOT IT!!! :beerchug:

"My body has a tendency to lose weight. I'm a small middleweight -- I'm not a natural middleweight like Kelly Pavlik, who is a big fighter. If I had to go up a little bit to a catchweight in order to get a fight with guys like Andre Ward or Carl Froch, I wouldn't have any problems. But going up directly to 168 would be suicidal for me. I walk around at less than 168 when I'm not even training, usually at about 165. I'm definitely not ready for that division."

Looks like Sergio needs to get his story straight because last week he said he walks around at 172-175 and we KNOW he weighed in at 176 a month before a fight scheduled for a 158 catchweight.
164-165 was his fight night weight when he fought at 154. He could make it easily. And as far as making 150, he said he would take 3-4 months to lose the neccessary weight safely so he doesn't have to drain himself too much.
Fine, if Sergio says he can 150 and be effective, and HE'S the one calling for the fight and the catchweight, then it's on HIM.
I won't.
Maybe we'll put that to the test come next Spring.

Dude is a full fledged welterweight and can't make 150. Don't think he can make even 154 comfortably these days, especially not at 36.

But if you people really want to see the fight at 150, don't b*tch about it when Sergio leaves the ring in a stretcher.
I won't.
where did i say manny was ducking sergio??i said id love to see the fight.but where did i say he was ducking him???please show proof
You no you have saod it before. Im aint going through all your post!!!
Anyways, for me Martinez should earn his shot. His resume is not that good and after to wins he think he is the all and all. He needs to humble himself!!!
He doesnt even wan to fight the top contenders in his division
False. Look at this:
http://www.boxingscene.com/30-day-weights-sergio-martinez-176-paul-williams-162--32192
And that was at the 30 day weigh in so you can imagine he walks around heavier than that.
ok...I stand corrected
So now its just of a fluke title that he won?? jajaja LMAO jajaj
To tell you truth Pac does not belong higher than 147 and Sergio should not go near 150 like he said, he would probably weight drain at 154!!
Pac came in at 144 for his fight at 154, so please dont act stupid!!
PAcquiao experimented the 154 division he could not handle it, thats why he said he wont go back to 154.
If Pac comes and say hey Sergio come down to WW and fight, and Sergio say no, is not a duck, the same by Manny saying no to 154(150)
I just made this thread for the people like you who says Manny is ducking!!
where did i say manny was ducking sergio??i said id love to see the fight.but where did i say he was ducking him???please show proof
both held the wbc 154 title whats wrong with fighting there?

not true...he said after the fight sat nite when asked about fighting Hopkins at 170 lbs ...he said he has never weighed more than the 165 lbs he was before the fight.
for the kind of money he could make fighting Pac he should easily make 150 lbs...even 147 if need be.

PAc is the WW champion, Sergio has fought there and said he is a blown up WW, whats wrong with that??

"I walk around at 78 or 79 kilos, with a maximum of 3.2% body fat."-Sergio Martinez, about 2 weeks ago.
78-79 kilos=172-175 lbs and that's when his body fat is 3.2%, which is probably during training camp. When he's out of camp it's not hard to imagine he gets up to 180+. We already know he was 176 30 days before the Williams rematch, meaning he had been in camp for a month and shedding weight already.
