I can see it but it is risky. I think that if Pacquiao chooses to go "light" on his weight (150 at most) to defend his 54' then he would have to KNOCK Martinez out early and that's a very tall order.
The skills are there...but sure he can beat up Martinez, the question is can he take Martinez's punches? Maybe not. Most likely not.
I can see Pacquiao peppering Martinez and even making his face swell up but when he gets hit, that would be fatal, I think.
This is not a count against Pacquiao for being small but if he is going all the way before he retires, then I would love for him to go and fight Martinez.
As for Mayweather, I am a fan of his IN THE RING (his techniques and skills) but not his OUT OF THE RING affairs. I still hope that he fights Pacquiao.
