I didn't think this was a fair fight after Sergio's win Saturday. Martinez would have too many tools in addition to his size. But you know what? Pacquiao has devastated all his opponents since David Diaz. Maybe this is the challenge that will make for a close, exciting fight a la Pac/Marquez. Marquez would be KOd in a couple rounds by Pac at this point, but the Martinez fight would be perfect.
I mean, Manny is the 154 champion. Sergio held a 154 title until recently (does he still? or did the WBC have him vacate it?). Martinez claims he wants to be the p4p #1 and a superstar. Well, this is the fight to make the happen.
Manny gets **** for fighting used-up guys, losers, shot guys, ect. Outside of a fight with Floyd, this would be a victory you couldn't discredit (unless they fight below 154). He could shut up a lot of his critics if he could actually beat Martinez.
They both have something to gain from this match-up. It would also be a great fight for hardcore boxing heads.
I still say this is a fight Floyd shouldn't take. He's a full grown 147 pound fighter and belongs at 147. Manny does too, but Manny has always been a little crazier than Floyd when it comes to opponents.
**** it. I'm sold. Lets have this fight. I got Martinez by KO.
