    ENOUGH. Pacquiao and Floyd are welterweights, Martinez is a middleweight.

    Is this concept really so hard to understand? Pac and Floyd aren't even big welterweights, and only in his last couple fights has Floyd been an average sized middleweight, and just barely. Pac won't even come in above 145 at a weigh in.

    Everyone who says these two are ducking the middleweight champion, who himself understands that the two are not his size, is a f***ing moron and just needs to shut up. If they want to make the fight, all the power to them and I'll be excited. But they deserve no criticism if they don't.

    Thanks.

    Neither one of them will be fighting Sergio, and that is fine. They need to fight each other.

      I understand some people are just trying to get someone in their with Pac and Floyd who can beat them, but come on. The only fight we should be criticizing these two for not making is with each other.

            pacquaios a 135/140 who doesn't cut

            welterweights don't weigh below the division limit on fight night

            i think the martinez-pacquaio fight is ****** too and would rather see martinez fight at 160 and the smaller 168s

              With all the big fights happening so close together, NSB is lit up with ******ity. Martinez is a legit middle weight. Get over it. Martinez' rising stock is the perfect weapon for Pac/Floyd haters.

                he a catch weight middleweight,lol. he can be as much a light middleweight as he can middleweight.

                floyd is bigger and more likely to make light middleweight properly.

                pac is a light welter/welter.

                  Martinez should concentrate on the middleweight division and unify it. Mayweather certainly won't fight him, that's for sure and Pacquiao won't fight him.

                  He could also move up to the super middleweight division in the next two years where there will definitely be huge fights there, but I can see that being a problem as Showtime has that division prity much to themselves and Martinez is loyal to HBO.

                  Martinez vs Pirog
                  Martinez vs Sturm

                  Martinez vs Ward
                  Martinez vs Bute
                  Martinez vs Dirrell

                  ^^ All sound like decent fights.

                    Agreed. I do not understand why this fight is so hard to put together.. Supposedly Arum is trying to get in contact with Floyd's team.. how much of that is the truth, I don't know. I do know that this fight has to happen. Could you even imagine the hype this fight would bring?? People are talking about the 1.1million ppv orders for Pac/Marg... this fight would absolutely demolish that... It will be great for boxing.
