Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez: I'll Challenge Pacquiao For His 154 Title

[Boxing's Truth]

Sergio, the problem is that Pac isn't the 154lb champion.

[dnut17]

If Martinez caught Williams with that same punch numerous times in the first fight, then there were numerous knock outs, it's crazy...

Be realistic, Compubox don't lie it was only a lucky punch...

If ever Pacquiao vs Martinez still believes Pac wins, but nothing to prove...Martinez has more to prove before he levels himself with Pac...

Not at all a lucky punch he landed at least two glancing punches that were thrown the same way at the same time (after a lazy right hand and before a left hand from Williams) It's like saying Pac's knockout of Hatton was lucky when it was clearly a well timed counter.

Yes it does and lets be REAL, It factors in especially in Arum, Roach and Pac's elements of selecting a fighter.

It's only a fact that Martinez is smaller than Margarito and Hoya. It's not our fault they couldn't hydrate to be heavier right? At the end of the day Martinez IS smaller height and weight wise.

Martinez moved up to MW just like Pac moved up to JMW.

Martinez fought most of his career at 147-154. Pac has titles there......... bottom line.

height has nothing to do with your affective weight class. Can margarito or oscar beat pavlik. sergio is talking about fighint bute. so please stop with the crap you just want pac to get beat but no matter what weight class sergio is at he cant beat pac. i want to see this fight but if pac decides not to to can you blame him, their is a limit to where a fighter keeps fighting bigger guys.

How much would martinez weigh on FIGHT NIGHT against pacquiao if they fought at 154 pounds? The answer is around or above 170 pounds.

id say 168 on fight night but margarito weighed 167.6 on fight night sooooo whats the big issue? pac beat marg up easily even if serg came in at 170 u telling me that 2.4 pounds is going to be the deciding factor in the fight???? its for a 154 title thats what u guys dont seem to understand, martinez was just the champ of the division, now pac is why is weight such a big issue with serg but not with marg? why wasnt anyone worried about how big marg was on fight night?

[jtiger78]

Iwant to know when Martinez is going to fight a slick African American boxer...again. LOL

if ur refering to paul williams the only thing slick about him his the way he fell.. martinez is a slick fighter... ??? anyways

[Jim Jeffries]

Pac would be better off fighting Williams at 147.

Martinez might have a hard time making 154 these days, but not enough to make up for the 15 - 20 pound weight advantage he'll have over Pac on fight night.

Pac's a guy who could still comfortably make 140 and clean out the division. As great as he is, if he stays at 154, he's going to be beaten by a lesser fighter.

u guys are jokers critisising pac if he doest fight the middleweight champ of the world. Dude was a flyweight and only weighs in at 149 max. How can anyone call that ducking, even sergio said it himself that he felt pac was too small. i see through your alterior motives.

yeah serg did say that but did u read the title of this post ur commenting on?

Sergio Martinez: I'll Challenge Pacquiao For His 154 Title

u fail to understand our arument....

sergio martinez was the 154 champ because he beat the people he needed to beat in the division to get belt

in june the belt was taken from him

in november pac beat marg at a catch weight of 150 to get that 154 belt and gets praised for beating a guy who out weighed him by 17.6 pounds.. mind u marg is one fight moved from a suspension and had only one fight at 154 after he got off suspension and before that he got dogged by mosley!

sergio did say pac was too small but now martinez wants to fight for his "154" belt back and aat the same time give pac a chance to get a 9th belt. mind u martinez has been looking real good lately...

now all of a sudden weight is an issue after u dismantle a guy who out weighs u by 17.6 pounds?

this is all we are saying

[Pullcounter]

thankyou ....I do think Sergio is too big...but I felt like Marg, Cotto, Hoya, and Clottey was too big as well.....he walked through those dudes like air and got praised like the lord for it

pac said 150.

if sergio is having problems making 158, then this fight isn't happening.

[WESS]

why are people comparing the sizes between sergio and oscar and margarito. height has nothing to do with what weight you fight in. sergio is a naturaly bigger man than those 2. juan ma is taller than pac and caballero is 6 foot but they fight in smaller divisions. anyway pac would destroy sergio if they ever fought, so bring it on sergio.

Because Martinez has fought most of his career at WW and LMW. He's NOT a natural MW. He just moved up. As for height, team pac has always talked about height expressing that so and so is too tall at WW like Pwill.

As for Martinez being naturally bigger than them, all three are about the same size and have fought in the same weight classes. Martinez just so happen to be good enough to make his way up to MW and beat the #1 and #2 guys. Do the numbers, Martinez wouldn't weight much more if NOT the exact same as Margirto fight night. Martinez is not that big.

All this fighting "bigger" guys talk and winning an 8th world title at 154 when Margarito's in the corner but when the guy who wants his 154 title back who's a natural WW/LMW steps up everyone backs down and retreats with excuses like He's too good (oops freudian slip), "too big"....

I fully hold Mayweather to these standards. Pac is no different as he is fighting at a weight class higher than Floyd. Its only facts.
