Boxing Insider Frank Stea on Maywethaer's next move

[Doctor_Tenma]

Its obvious that this would have to take place at 160, alot more to gain there.

You honestly think Arum wants Pavlik anywhere near Martinez again?

If it is a step towards forcing Mayweather into the Pacquiao fight if Pac won't take the tests, Arum would definitely do that. Arum doesn't give a sh** about Pavlik, not compared to his biggest cash cow.

This^, Pavlik isn't Arum's main priority anymore. And if he really didn't want to throw Pavlik in there, a Margarito/Pacquiao deal is still an attractive deal. Throwing Pavlik in there just makes sure, Martinez is busy till 2011.

Lets hope that doesn't happen.

Yes, because I'd love to see that fight, it's a history making fight. But I wouldn't put it past ******* Arum.

[Pacquiao'd]

Props to Roger. but please to give the mayweathers bad luck by saying they are the kennedy's of boxing haha

So you think Arum is gonna try to force Pavlik to rematch Martinez? That's an interesting theory.

I think so why wouldn't he?

You really think Pavlik would object that strongly to have to be forced? I don't.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

I think so why wouldn't he?

Because he was embarrassed and dominated.

[Iceta Lives]

Because he was embarrassed and dominated.

He wasn't dominated I don't think. But I also don't think he wants the rematch or he wouldn't be as heavy as he is.

Al Haymon can make Martinez a better offer. Martinez wants to fight Williams more than Margacheato and Pavlik. They can offer him a fight with Williams and offer him a fight with Floyd if he beats Williams.

That one might be even more attractive, forgot about the Haymon factor.

LOL @ This.

People get their biggest paydays fighting Floyd. Not against The Illiterate.

Don't you think Martinez would rather face Mayweather - THE BETTER FIGHTER - for more money?


And Pacquiao said that Foreman was "too big', but Martinez isn't? LOL

Avenging a loss he's been wanting to for the last 10 years, while making a few million and fighting 1 of the top 2 fighters (#1 depending on who you ask) in the sport both on P4P and popularity lists.

Foreman is the same height as Martinez. I'm playing devils advocate, not saying it would happen, fall back.

Its obvious that this would have to take place at 160, alot more to gain there.

He could even make it for both titles at 154 and 160 ala Leonard-Lalonde or make a 154.1 catchweight fight (which Martinez would make easily.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

He wasn't dominated I don't think. But I also don't think he wants the rematch or he wouldn't be as heavy as he is.

Outside of a lucky bomb. Martinez will win again. Arum knows that.
