Pacquiao vs Martinez for the middleweight title?

[Chipper]

If Mayweather doesn't come through again I say Pacquiao moves up and challenges Martinez for the middleweight crown. I think it's an excellent fight, it's hard to say who would win that. Catch weight of 156 maybe.

Middleweight is the highest I could possibly see Pacquaio going, and for those of you who say it's not realistic look at De La Hoya vs Hopkins. The weights were
Hopkins 156 lbs, De La Hoya 155 lbs. That 5-6 pound difference could be added in muscle for pacman.

edit: margarito vs pac on fight night 165, martinez 166 in his last fight discuss....

only problemis that roach wants a 147 C/W

In theory it looks like a good idea, but Martinez is no Margarito, Martinez is athletic and has decent footwork, and unlike Margarito he goes in and out and uses angles.

A catchweight is out of the question, why would Martinez want to do a catchweight? He is the champ at 160, if Pacquiao wants it, he shouldn't demand a catchweight, the only way I see Sergio coming down is if he challenges Pacquiao for the 154 trinket...

Asking Pacquiao to move up to MW might be too much anyways, so I don't think it will happen, and if it doesn't Pacquiao shouldn't be seen like he ducked Martinez...

pac should challenge martinez at a catchweight of 154.

the 155 c/w proposed by dibella would be more in favor of pacman IMO.

and this fight would be much more competitive with more two way action and at least seem fair when they get in the ring

Yea of course it would favor Manny, cuz Sergio would have to drain himself to make the weight, while Manny would probably come in at 150 max.
This fight is out of the question in my opinion, Martinez is just too good and too big, and based on his comments I dnt thnk he would accept a catchweight to defend HIS title..
