martinez ko.s pacyow ,again pac will fight bigger guys but only when the bigger guy is old faded and has no shot at winning, since martinez would surely not only beat pac but end his career this fight will never get made period. look for manny to take on an other old shot guy like mosley, or jmm or someone thats easily beatable.

You probably thought that Margo would beat Manny but now Manny is taking on easy fighters? Come on, man!

How many catchweights did he fight exactly cause I am only counting 2.

no way hater would see the pattern. they want to see Pac lose. they dont want to see a good boxing match. they want to see Manny coming in at 148 lbs against Sergio who would come in 170 lbs not because they think its fair but because they think Manny will finally lose the fight.

After Pacquiao disnigrates Martinez at Middleweight, dont be surprised what the *****s are going to say next. Im predicting *****s..."Forget fighting someone at Super Middleweight... go straight to Heavyweight againts the Klitchkos" Pacquiao..No problem." lol

i really like to see the fight. but it should be fair not just for Sergio but for Manny too. 155 is not fair. Sergio has been fighting in 154 lbs and up for more than 7 years and Manny hasnt reached more than 146 lbs in a weigh in.

That is precisely the point of the one you replied to, Lol. You want Manny with Sergio in there but questions Sergio against Bute because Martinez is small?! Amazing how haters easily forget how small Manny is.

Manny's 'so called' Catchweight run:

Dela Hoya- at 147 - It was dela hoya who enticed Manny to fight at that weight not the other way around. Oscar WAS the Man when the contract was signed, He had the final say. Manny's weigh-in weight t 142.

Cotto- 145 - The last time I checked he was 146 against Clottey. Just a mere 1 lb less. Manny's weigh-in weight t 144.

Margarito-150 - Tony's last fight is at 154. Why? because he had almost 1.5 years of inactivity but between his last fight and Manny, he had 6 months, plenty of time go further down to 147 which was the weight he has been fighting up to the Mosley fight. Tony is a career welterweight. Manny's weigh-in weight t 144.6

See the pattern? Manny is already Max out.

manny has been on a catchweight run FACT. I never said i wanted him to fight manny. Rather see Sergio May to be honest. I just stated that if they do fight no catchweight for title. Reading comprehension buddy

Pac can easily fight Martinez for the middleweight title at 160 without any catchweights, but only if it's same-day weigh-in just like in the old days. Even if Sergio outweighs him by 160-146, it would still only be a 15-lb. difference come fight night. But with one-day weigh-in, Sergio would out-weigh him by more than 20 lbs. easily. Thus, the catchweight make sense in leveling the playing field.

We keep comparing Pac's achievements against bigger opponents with those of Henry Armstrong's, but we forget that he fought at same-day weigh-ins. Armstrong's opponents actually didn't out-weigh him by as much as 17 lbs. on fight night. See boxrec for yourself.

The mere fact that people are *****ing about Pac facing a strong middleweight champ line Sergio at a hypothetical catchweight of 154-155 is testament to the fact that we have taken for granted how amazing Pac's achievements really are. How come we don't even entertain the same notion for the vacationing P4P'er?

catchweight run of 2 to be exact.

Floyd has been in a ducking run against Margarito, Cotto, Pac and Sergio who just called him out. plus cheated JMM in a catchweight.

I perfectly understood what you wrote, but do not put it on Manny. The way you sounded as if the fight is already on and the bashing time is on. It was Dibella who started the talk of 155 not Manny's camp. Obviously it is with Manny where the money is. If Sergio is the Man right now, then he and his team should forget about Manny and start talks with people in his own weight class. Obviously if they keep on talking a possible fight with Manny, Team pac will reply with their stance on the issue and haters will definitely find this as a way to discredit Manny again. For Christ's sake, Team Pac was just replying to them. Simply put, Manny is too small! If Martinez wants him, he should be the one giving way! Otherwise, create your own legacy within or around your weight class and stop trying to make a fight with a blown up light weight only because he is the Cash Cow at the moment!

How can he be on the run when the catchweight hhe had was only against Cotto and Marg. Hatton, Clottey, and Oscar were at the correct designated weight classes..
