Comments Thread For: Arum: Martinez at 155? Pacquiao is Great, Not Superman

[Light_Speed]

Arum: "Having my guy, who has a belt at 154, fight Martinez at 154 is crazy; what, you think my guy is Superman?"

lol......good old Arum....bring on Mosley, we all know he is next

LOL exactly! Margarito and Martinez are about the same size.

What would it be if Froch ask for a Martinez fight for 167

So therefore Martinez can make 150, right?

who cares, margo still tkoed sergio fair and square....theres nothing that makes me believ sergio would beat him this time, nothing.....margo is just all wrong for sergio, he cant handle the pressure that margo brings......

We're not talking about Martinez. We're talking about Mayweather-Mosley and Pacquaio-Margarito. Mosley fought Margarito and destroyed him. Mayweather fought the winner of that fight, humiliated him, and is lambasted for it. Pac fought the loser, beat him, but ended up in the hospital himself, and is praised. Like I said, ass backwards logic.

man, pac aint going up again for ****, he's already climbed too many weighclasses like none ever has... he does'nt need to climb another one....margo tkoed sergio, whats your point?.....

My point is- Your trying to make it sound like it's ridiculous for Martinez to ask for a fight at 155. I would agree with you to a degree if Martinez was not willing to put his MW title on the line. Manny doesn't have to come in at 155. But 155 and the MW title is a more than fair request from a legit Champion that even you yourself says is the same size as Margarito.

If he's willing to put the MW title on the line and he's the same size as Margarito on fight night (as you stated), WHAT'S YOUR POINT?

Pac has everything to gain here.

Manny Pacquiao is a joke.

It is laughable to refer to him as an ATG.

He will not fight the best in the division.

He will not fight a skilled boxer / counter-puncher.

He will not fight ANYBODY, unless they are at a disadvantage.

Jeez, at JMW, he will not even fight anybody from his own division

Manny Pacquiao is a total hype-job, what a joke.

The last time I heard, he fought two closed fight with Marquez.

I don't know if there would be a third one. purse split would be an issue, of course.

ofcourse it is....that would be pac's 10th motha****ing weightclass......he could'nt even go past the ww limit, you want him a jump again to mw?....that "manny does'nt have come at 155 is BS..why not make it at 168 while youre at it coz pac does'nt have to come in at hthat weight either?....pac has everything to gain but he has to be realsitic about him having limits!

[Boxing's Truth]

It's really funny how weird it is to see Pac transform throughout recent years. The norm would be that the bigger you get the less cut and slower you get.

Pac is supposedly drastically increasing his caloric intake to make weight in the welterweight division. But when he was in his natural weight he was getting ****** around. How is it now that he takes better shot by these big guys and not even flinch.

His legs look almost abnormal in size now and his head looks bigger. I think many people see that and that's why they wonder about Pac.

I know we are beating a dead horse here with the whole PEDs thing but it will always be an issue with me whenever talking about Pac.

Yeah, I lean that way myself. I think there is talk within the inside that something ain't right. Some already have voiced their word on Pac. Others don't care because they see Pac as someone to get a big check from.

But I think Floyd has been smart througout his career. Has he fought everyone? No, but he's looking out for himself. Call him chicken, ducker or whatever but in 20 years he'll still be talking *****tt without slurred speach.

What do most of these HOFers have in common? They look and sound mentally ******ed. I think Floyd has learned some lessons from his pops, get everything you can out of the business and don't let the sport eat you up.

Arum we know the fake atg pac is not going to fight pac cuz ure catchweight wont works this guy is too big but yet cheato beat martinez so wat you scared of doesnt pac have the 154 belt defend it pac will never be considered the best to true boxing fans

[Light_Speed]

Yes he could but Arum still wouldn't let the fight happen. He only lets his cash cows fight guys who are not promoted by Top Rank if they have a big fanbase like Oscar, Hatton or Mosley. Size is just an excuse.
