Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez: "Pacquiao is Too Small, It's a Mismatch"

[marikudo]

This shows how really great Pacquiao is. Now they are talking about Martinez vs. Pacquiao. They really want to see Pacquiao fall and now they want a goliath heavier than Margarito to do the job. Gees! Let Pacquiao alone brothers. He has done more than anyone else in boxing the past 50 years or more. There won't be another Pacquiao ever. No one will be as great as him inside or outside the ring. Unless the american boxing media will do some magic.

If i were Martinez i would be ashamed to talk about Pacman. Hey Maritnez,, fight someone your own size or climb higher wiegh to challenge. Or fight Haye

Did you even read the article?

yeah thats what Manny has been doing, moving up in weight classes. 8 to be exact but couldnt even make the 150 lbs limit in his last fight. I dont see Sergio making 147 or 150 lbs. you should know by now Manny's comfort zone is 145 lbs, why would he fight Sergio in his comfort zone? isnt that too much to ask for Manny? why not let Sergio fight Manny in his comfort zone and prove that he could really be a pound for pound king by doing impossible things( draining himself and beat Manny).

That make sense since Sergio is the bigger guy. Being bigger is already to his advantage not to mention that he is great fighter as well. That would be really be a great match at Manny's comfort zone.

Because Pac haters wants to see Pacquaio lose. That is all.

*******s complain that Mayweather never fights a real challenge...well guess what, Pacquiao is held to the same standards, he doesn't get a free ride because he is a nice guy.

Pacquiao has the 154lbs belt, Martinez is a 154lbs fighter.

Margarito is 5′ 11″ with a 73″ reach

Martinez is 5′ 10″ with a 74" reach

The problem here is not size of Martinez but the fact that Sergio is a genuine slick boxer that would give Pacman hell regardless of the size.

Never mind the size difference, Martinez has better boxing skills than Manny, that's a fact. Here is Manny's chance to fight a real 154lb fighter and to defend that paper belt of his.

thats true great post. now all the *******s are gonna come out to defend their king hes to big for him heres his chance to win another belt and put his on the line and defend it like a true champion

Martinez isn't afraid of random blood testing.

Thats not what it is and everyone knows it. HES NOT AFRAID TO GET A MAJOR PAYDAY AGAINST A TOP NAME!!!!!!

Because Manny wanted that 154 "title" (Martinez's old title). Martinez vs Pac between 154-156 or IMO at 154 when Sergio sees the money involved.

Or make the fight at "catchweight" of 155 so Pac can fight for a 9th world title huh? How about it? That's the pac way right?

Pac wants to fight bigger guys. THIS is the type of bigger guys he should be fighting. Not an even "Bigger" weight drained Hoya or even a "bigger" shot and destroyed Margarito who was busted for plaster. Both IN FACT are bigger than Martinez. THE IRONY!!!!!

How do people not understand this? Martinez has fought MOST of his career from 147-154. Weights Pac has titles at. Both "catched" but hey Pacs P4P right?

Mayweather did it. He fought a much "BIGGER" Hoya at 154 while ONLY making 147 once before.

We can expect Mayweather to fight Pac, Margarito (not now), Hoya, Mosley, Cotto (not now), Pwill and Martinez. Why can't we expect Pac who's fighting at a higher weight class than Floyd fight Martinez too?????

Why do we hold such low standards for pac?

[Khalid X]

here the post interview by boxing scene... so haters, watch

Man I can understand spanish (not everything btw) but all Martinez said is he want's to be the #1 guy p4p.

His manager when on this rant, as far as Manny being too small. Those were his words, not sergio's.... and it's obvious as Martinez let out a quick sentance only to have his translater go on this long diatram, translating what Martinez just said about being p4p number 1.

[sigrab jr]

You are an idiot if you really believe what you wrote. The guy just fought a rematch of the fight of the year candidate (2009) on regular HBO in front of 5,500 people. Pacquiao was just in Cowboys stadium in front of 40K+ and on PPV.

You don't think that would motivate him? Mayweather's career is over and he's yesterday's news, he won't be fighting anyone ever again (unless you count the booty warrior). If the fight is so easy for Sergio, he would sign on in a heartbeat without even thinking twice about it.

Make no mistake about it, he's trying to goad the beast into battle, albeit indirectly.

What ever makes you sleep at night *******

He wants to fight the best fighter in the world, which is not Catchweight Manny.

****** *****s now think Martinez has more boxing skill than Manny. if winning 8 division titles with 4 lineals while destroying his opponents is not a boxing skills i dont really know what is. Mannys footwork is way better than Martinez. his combinations are the best in the business. let see Martinez winning titles in super middleweight and ligh heavyweight then you can start making comparison. haters and *****s really wants to see Manny lose. so they can say Floyd is better een without fighting Manny.
