[iNDOLiFER]

pac is a duck hes the new 154 pounder what happen arum this guy will never be in the convo of benitez or hagler or hearns he dodged and used catchweights to weaken his opp arum martinez will fight bute your just saying that cuz bute is locked with show time just look how big pavlik was you idiot did you see what martinez did to him if cheato beat martinez and pac beat cheato what you scared of

let martinez fight within his weight class, stop tryna make him fight the lil guy

The irony of this topic is since when has size (bigger men) have ever been an issue for Manny Pacquiao since moving up to the welterweight division to face De La Hoya two years ago? De La Hoya was a much bigger man then as well but it didn't stop Manny from dominating him. Let's just cut to the chase. The size issue is only being made as an excuse here. Pacquiao just recently faced a bigger man who outweighed him by 17 lbs on fight night. It's not so much that Martinez is just a bigger fighter but in the words of Freddie Roach, he is just too good of a fighter. He's a skilled bigger man, who is in his prime and at his physical peak. For that reason alone, Manny would never step foot in the ring with Maravilla anytime soon; Especially in light of his devastating KO victory over Paul Williams.

Arum has a point. How is Bute too big for Martinez when they want Pacquiao for Martinez? I'd like to see Martinez vs. Sturm, Pirog, maybe even a Winky Wright even though he is shot to bits, before a move up to 168 to fight the plethora of big name fighters that reside there.

i bet you martinez fights two of those you mention unlike pac who going to avoid a live a oppent

Cotto was bigger and he destroyed Cotto.

Margo was bigger and he destroyed Margo.

Pac is the JMW champ but can't defend his title because the fight he just had was against a ***in bum that they carefully selected.

Believe me, Sergio would fight for Pac's title if he were allowed to come in at the JMW limit.

They're only to big if they're good.

"Lou says Bute is too big for Martinez. If Bute is too big for Martinez, then what does that make Martinez for Manny?" Clever statement...but also very TRUE!!!

Mayweather is bigger than Pacquiao. He should fight Martinez. HBO should pressure Mayweather like they did Williams. Floyd must either fight Pacquiao OR Martinez. If not...go to another network!!

***ing Dibella needs to shut his hole. If they want to get the pay day of their lives Sergio needs to come down to 147 and challenge the best fighter in the world!

no. it is not. manny has been fighting at ww and has fought at jmw.

manny just fought a guy who came in the ring at 165 pounds. martinez came in the ring at 166.

what makes martinez too big? is it too big or too good?

Sergio Martinez is the best fighter in the world, He just knocked out the number 4 pfp out cold!!!! Mayweather just beat the number 3 share Mosley and the new number 3 marquez and If I'm not mistaken beat hatton when he was p4p what's the last p4p fighter (at the time of the fight ) has manny beat, marquez in 08 and we all know he didnt win that .
