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

[KingOfBox]

Blah Blah Bob!!! We are too smart for that bull**** excuse... We ALL know you can EASILY put a clause in the contract to make Martinez come in at whatever weight you want on fight night!!!! The point is... you don't WANT any version of Sergio Martinez in front of Manny Pacquiao... not a 155 lb version... not a 175 lb version... WEIGHT is not the issue.. It is the MAN you are scared of... You know he would knock Pacman into Lederman's scorecard table! I'm tired of the excuses... The same things you accuse Mayweather of, you are guilty of yourself! Margarito is a bigger man than Sergio is and that was no problem for you to make cuz he is TOP RANK and an easy win right?.. Sergio and Berto aren't DRAWS?? And Clottey WAS!?! You awarded that man a Pacquiao fight after a LOSS to Cotto!!! The world is beginning to see the truth about Bob Arum, Top Rank, DLH, Golden Boy... They are all synical!!! Boxing would be better off without these en******.. DLH is trying to play Mosley now after all he's done for that company and just wanting to secure a payday with Pac.. Thats why Lou DiBella is the best promoter.. he figures out how to get big paydays for his fighters at any cost and tries to get them in big fights on HBO. People blame Berto for not having a big fight but WHO the hell is he going to fight?!? Bob's communist *ss ain't sharing any fighters!!!! Bob, go play in traffic..

The greatst fighter of all-time, "Sugar" Ray Robinson went up and challenged Joey Maxim for the light heavy title and weighed in at 157 for that fight. The #2 all-time P4P Henry Armstrong simultaneously held the featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight titles. I wish Pac would fight Martinez, especially considering that Maravilla is willing to come down in weight. But if Team Pacquaio doesn't want it, they don't want it. But don't go around talking about you have the greatest fighter of all-time and you're not willing to do things that other greats before him did.

Martinez would hurt pac, too many advantages for Martinez!

[Pocket Dogs!]

Not superman. True. But I thought Manny was the modern day Henry Armstrong? Henry Armstrong fought for the 147-lb welterweight title when he was a featherweight (126-lbs). Yes, Manny is great but it is a manufactured type of greatness.

Didn't those guys have same day weigh-in's back then? It's not even close to the same. These fools now are blowing up 15-20 pounds by fight time. It's apples and oranges. U can't have it both ways, on one hand u say the mans a miget and sucks, on the other u want him to give up 25-30 pounds to the best middle weight in the world. I know manny's great and all, but that's just ******. Pride will get u so far, then it will get u killed.

My issue with Pac, his team, and all those who worship him is that the hype machine has gotten in the way of reality. We've been force fed chicken-****, and been told it was chicken soup. 1.15M people spent at least $60 because they thought they were watching history seeing Pac win a "title" in an 8th division. But now, because its not a hand picked tomato can, he's too little to fight in the division. They've continually pulled this nonsense since leaving the 130 division. He fought Diaz instead of Casamayor or Campbell at lightweight. He fights Cotto instead of a Mosley who was considered by most the top welter. And now he fights Margarito for a vacant belt at 154 when neither has ever been in a significant 154 match. Its ridiculous. Pac bull****ted his way into that 154 belt. Now, he's got someone wanting to take in in what is the biggest fight available to him. But all of a sudden, he's too little. It sickening and has turned a person who used to be one his biggest fans (me) into someone who can't stand what he's become.

Manny Pacqiuao is definitely the biggest fluke in boxing. They make
this big fuss about Manny moving up and beating biggers guys but
now he's too small when it comes to a guy that is the same size if
not smaller than the big man Pac just fought. How can anyone defend
this?

i'm a big pacman fan, and i don't blame him, i'm sure he is fighting whoever his management puts infront of him. But the people around him sucks, they don't agree to fight marquez at junior welter, and they don't agree a catchweight neither. But they expect other fighters too come down or to fight at a catchweight. Honestly alex ariza seems too be the best man in the most honest in his corner.
