I feel he might be too big, but I doubt that would stop Manny from fighting him. My stance is this: Let Manny try to make the fight with Mayweather fight in the spring. If it falls through...take a easy/decent fight...then go for Martinez in the fall. If I was handling Manny that would be the move I would make because there really isn't any one out there that would give Manny a challenge.

Again, there's numerous challenges out there for Pacquiao, but riders will always say that "there's nobody left that can challenge Pacquiao" just because Pacquiao and his team completely disregard the fact.

Mayweather returns from vacation to fight Martinez and wins.....


It's a WRAP for flop Stank's tough guy talk and ANY leverage in negotiations.

Manny's run out of Flop Stank in house fights and either has to step up his game with serious threats or retire a good lil honest Congroidsman. Like it or not.

@ Congroidsman....you crazy!!

They listen to Top Prank, Team HBO and some of these biased writers and they start believing the hype. Manny is nt even capable of being on those guys level. Floyd even with a win over Martinez and Pac wouldn't be the top dawg of all time.

Matchmakers or $$makers?

I agree with Martinez, in that he vs. Pacquiao would be a mismatch. Everybody knows Pacquiao is at the most a small welterweight who can easily make the 140 lbs. weight limit why put him to fight with a legitimate middleweight, that's ridiculous. Everybody has seen that an extraordinary boxer of a lower weight can beat an average boxer of a higher weight for example Roy Jones beating John Ruiz and most recently Pacquiao's destruction of Margarito. There are so many other much better match-ups; why not match him with: Timothy Bradly; Ahmir Khan; Devon Alexander; or Marcos Maidana. Why do you have to match him with either Juan Manuel Márquez who is a lightweight or the likes of other fighters who already saw their better days like Oscar de la Hoya who in addittion to being passed his prime was also dehydrated when he faced him or Cotto who was forced to fight at the 145-catch weight.

Pacquiao loses to both. Martinez and Floyd are too technical and defensive for Pac. On top of that, Both have equal to more speed than Pacquiao, so his big speed advantage wouldn't mean much against either Floyd and Sergio. Manny is open all day and gets hit way too much and cleanly. I say if Floyd fights aggressive, he puts Pac to sleep or Roach throws in the towel. Martinez is way too big and skilled for Manny. Manny dominates brawlers like Mosley does. Boxers will always kick their asses.

Yep. Spot on IMO.

[switchsouthpaw]

Lol at anyone who thinks Floyd will actually take this fight.

[Southpaw King]

I think it is seriously ridiculous to even think of a fight with Sergio and manny, Sergio is too big and people don't seem to realize that pac barely made weight for the margarito fight!! It's too much weight to him and the height is a big factor.

There's a reason we have weight classes dumb asses, let Sergio and the other middle weights stay there and make they're mark and brighten up that wet class stop always putting pacquiao against someone who puts on goes for Christ sake...I mean seriously what's next?? Pacquiao vs klitschko??

How's bout martinez vs Hopkins?? Or windy wright? There's other fighters out there

I thnink pac has unfinished business with Marquez #1, he can fight mosley #2 or he can murder berto #3 all guys who r similar in size and weight, not giant ass boxer loosing 60lbs and fighting at a dumb ass catch weight

One more thing....I doubt the may and pac fight will happen, let's face it and get over it....I can honestly say I see mayweather fighting berto before pacquiao does

[komandante]

I admire the honesty of Martinez, he's a true champ, Sergio is too big for Manny and Pac has nothing to prove either. Martinez should be #2 P4P ahead of Floyd and JMM.

************************************************** ********
I basically agree with everything Southpaw King says. The only thing is that I would like Pacquiao vs JMM at 140 lbs. to make it a more fair and even fight for JMM and may the best man win.
