Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Martinez: Arum Rejects DiBella's "155" Proposal

[ronniejunior]

Brutha man, Sergio HAS stepped up his game. Manny is supposed to be a giant Mexicusioner or whatever. Manny only fights shot fighters in the upper weight classes. All of Manny's opponents in the welterweight division were struggling at the time Manny fought them.

Dela Puta came out of retirement and went on the South Beach Diet.

Hatton ****** ass in the two fights leading to Pac's fight.

Cotto ****** ass in the two fights leading to Pacs's fight.

Margo ****** ass in the two fights leading to Pac's fight.

Guess who's next....hmmmm....who fits the pattern?? You got it, Shane Mosely.

I can guarantee Pac will be fighting Shane next!!

if he fight shane...what they gonna say?...they gonna back peddle and make excuses...the same way they back peddled and made excuses for floyd's win against shane.....he was old and shot fight fixed, etc.

so they'll sell this **** fight....poochie's gonna knock out shane something floyd didn't do...he beat shane in better fashion than floyd therefore he's the ATG...meanwhile these poochie ho's overlook that shane agreed to freddie jokes stipulation of 143/142lbs. 2 fight poochie...but back then shane was "2 good"...but since he's seen his "last fight" shane is ripe 4 the pickings....and these biased a$$ poochie ho's who r only on his d1k cuz they think he can beat "big mouth" mayweather courtesty of the media hype machine will continue to turn a blind eye and deaf ear!

****in' jealous haters!

If Manny can't even weigh in at 154 properly, might as well forget about Martinez or any other jr middleweight.

[joelab75]

Margarito weighed 165 lbs on fight night vs Pacquiao & weighed 150 for the weigh in (the night before the fight).......Martinez weighed 168 lbs on fight night vs P Williams & weighed 158 lbs for the weigh in (the night before the fight).

I can see Martinez weighing 165 lbs on fight night & 154 for the weigh in for a Martinez vs Pacquiao fight @ Super Weleterweight/Super Middleweight (Pacquiao's new belt...the same belt that belonged to Martinez prior to Pacquiao arranged fight).

the rehydration is not the issue. if Sergio is willing to fight Manny why not in 150 lbs? then he can rehydrate as much as 170 lbs. if Sergio cant do 150 lbs he can go up and fight in a super middleweight division for if he really wants to step up his game. why not challenge himself and fight bigger guys?

why not poochie fight other champions who come off of WINS?

[dnut17]

so Manny should fight Sergio in his comfortable weight while Manny would be out of his comfort zone? is that what you're saying? u think its fair? Sergio can rehydrate as high as 175 but the contract weight should be 150 lbs.

I agree Manny doesn't HAVE to take this fight to prove anything. The frustration with Manny is that every fight he takes lately has been against the right opponents at the right times. Even boxing experts are starting to see this trend. Sure he gives up size but he makes sure that none of his advantages are taken away to the contrary his opponents make him look even better. I think he's amazing but taking a fight with Martinez at 155 and being competitive even in a loss would be one of the greatest feats I've ever seen. Martinez is not only bigger but he's crafty strong and fast. This is why you have to give a guy like JMM so much credit he moved up two weight divisions to fight one of the greatest pure boxers all time in his prime at his natural weight. Cynics will say it was for the money but it took big balls.

if manny and his team wants to fight martinez, they're going to have to come up, in a fair fight at least, if not, then martinez will give ground and sign the contract giving pacquiao and team what they want, and although since it is agreed upon and signed into contract, then its a fair fight as well, just with a clause*.

what i'm getting at, a true test of pacquiao's skills would be to fight martinez at a fair catchweight. then we can really see where pacquiao's skill set and talents are.


i love the style match up, i think it's an instant classic, just weight is the issue. big slick fighter fighting a crafty and creative smaller fighter, both have speed, slickness, good ring generalship, and can hit hard. it's quality. both have a decent amount of defense, they take and make opportunities, have high work rates, and great stamina. it's an awesome, awesome match up, better than floyd vs anyone of them, IMHO.

but to be fair and make it a great fight, pac is the one who has to give up a little more, at least more than what he's been giving. let be honest and fair here, if anything pacquiao has been winning all these fights in negotiations, before he even gets into the ring. that is what will determine this match up as well, or any of pacquiao's fights from here on out.

i say, come up a bit and make it fair, test your skills manny, he'd become a true great in my eye if he gave martinez room to make a decent weight without coming into fight looking like a concentration camp victim....... dehydrated, dry, and ripe for the ko......... not fair..... and to martinez, don't sign a ****ty contract.........

I almost agree with you until you started to justify why Manny needs to give up a little more. It is like saying, hey, Martinez is bigger therefore you need to give in to his demand. And you consider that to be a fair fight? Well, I totally disagree with you. In my view, it is the bigger guy that needs to give up a little more for a fight to be fair regardless of individual's history. After all, Martinez is one exceptional fighter.

I am fan of both of them by the way. I just love to see them fight. Martinez just has so much advantage over Pacquiao. We should try to level those advantages, not tilt it even more.

[myCoCainE]

Why are we even ****ing discussing this fight? IF Pac defeats Martinez, who's next? Haye? Jesus ****ing Christ. Pac vs May is the only option.

[bose]

pac at 150 can beat any middleweight, or super middleweight thats the talk
