Just to clarify: Pac's title at 154 lbs is just a paper strap...

The WBC gives out titles like candy, you know it's all about the benjamins

Nope. You can't have it both ways. Either Pacquiao is an 8 division champion or he's not. And officially he is.

So if he doesn't defend his title against Martinez, it's a duck.

well Pac did say he'll fight Martinez.
But it would have to be the same catchweight as for the Margarito fight.

highly doubt Martinez can make 150

It can't be a duck if Sergio vacated the 154 division for the 160 division.

Pacquiao can beat anyone at 154... Margarito is better that those Paper Champs there at 154.

both pac and margarito were unranked jr MW fighting for a vacant title at a catchweight of 150 lbs.

I honestly don't know why any ABC org would sanction that fight as a title fight.

officially pac is an 8 division champ, but in reality that title at 154 lbs is just a paper title.

now you *****s know...

Just highlights the many floors in boxing. U can't blame Pac though.

It's as real as his college education.

you can't duck someone who's not in your division.
