Martinez is almost the EXACT same size as Margarito.

Hes a WW you douche. How dare a WW want the fight at WW. No catchweights right? so he should fight Martinez at 160?

who just won the jr mw belt 2 wks ago

I didn't know that, but like I said, it doesn't matter because Sergio won't go any lower then 155. And I don't think he'll ever accept 150.

Don't really see the problem though. Pac offers to fight a guy that'll out-weigh him by 15-20lbs on fight night. If Sergio thinks he can make the weight, he takes the fight. There is weight classes for a reason. Pacquiao shouldn't fight Sergio at all, just too big of a size difference. Sergio isn't fighting Huck (in lack of a decent CW) either.

im not here to argue with anyone but i think we could all agree martinez has earn a shot at a big fight

Agreed. Too bad there isn't any big names at MW, he'd have to go up to SMW where he'd be the smaller man.

Dude youre way smarter thant this.

Since he last fought JMM.

He has refused to fight a prime guy with some damn elite boxing skills.

Cotto: Nope
Clottey: Nope
Margarito: Nope
Hatton: Nope
DLH: Nope
Diaz: Nope

Gimme a break man. Manny is fighting guys that will come right at him that he can easily slice up.

JMM has no elite boxing skills at 147. Mosley is not consider to have elite boxing skills. Dela didn't show any. Hatton is a hugger. Baldomir got a good chin who keeps coming forward. Zab Judah has skills but not consider elite. Mitchell, nuff said. Gatti, go forward fighter.

If he's the same size as Tony, he should have no problem making 150 either. 150 lets get it on!

Doesn't work that way. Just like DLH could make 147, I'm sure Sergio COULD do so too.

But, he won't necessarily be a healthy, live, opponent in doing so, he would be a punching bag, at Pac's mercy, and furthermore at serious risk of injury due to serious fluid loss/deprivation.

Sergio knows his best fighting weight is 156-160, why handicap yourself to once again cater to Pacquiao. If Pacquiao can't compete at MW, then don't make the fight and keep doing your thing. Stop the BS

[mike0925]

dude why is it ok for manny to fight to fight margo at 150 but wants martinez under 150?

Who said he wants him under 150

[AnthalaX]

If Marg and Sergio is the same size then Pac can fight them both at 150 right? TS hasn't responded to this argument yet.. he's officially ducking...

[iNDOLiFER]

If he's the same size as Tony, he should have no problem making 150 either. 150 lets get it on!

bingo!!! all this talk about martinez is about the same size as marg well then if thats the case martinez shouldnt have a problem making 150 for the weight in! BOOYAA!
