Freddie Roach: "I want Pacquiao vs. Martinez" (Latest news Dec 7, 2010)

[IMDAZED]

This really sounds like Roach has been in front of a TV set since Martinez knocked out Williams.. Rewatching footage of Martinez and Pacquiao. Hoping he could construct a legitimate strategy to beat Martinez.. Probably not completely certain Pac could beat Martinez until sometime late last night. At which point.. Eureka! Pac/Martinez is the best action fight, has to happen!

Everyone here read him state, "at the right weight." Yet here you are ready to bust a nut about the possibility of this fight. Newsflash d*ckhead, Roach said a week ago he'd do the fight under 154. In other words, this fight isn't happening.

No way Pac fights Martinez at 154, anything less than that is a joke.

[PainKiller]

If they fight at 154, then great.

Unlikely to happen, but Manny goes up in weight by a few pounds.

He took Oscar at 147, but then Cotto at 145, and then Clottey at 147. Then Marg at 150, and I think he can try 154 now perhaps.

Yes, Roach clearly states at the right weight. However if Roach had not constructed a gameplan and been convinced Pacquiao could beat him, he wouldn't express interest in the fight. Which was the purpose of my comments. I didn't read a week ago that Roach said he wanted the fight. You are clearly the Pac d*ck rider around here as you follow every release relating to him and I do not. I'll try to follow him as closely as you do, so we can have more of these great interactions!

Even if Pacquiao beat Martinez, it wouldn't be a great win imo, now I know people will WTF! at that statement, but im not sold on Martinez, I really aint, infact I think he is a B class, to B + class fighter, he is not slick in the slightest, infact is very hittable, does not always pick the right times to jump in with his attacks either, so whilst I think its a dangerous fight for Pac, if Pac won, I personally wouldn't consider it a GREAT! win, only I know if he did win, that to die hard Pacquiao fans it would be as good as proving that he could handle any! counter puncher in history, and that is the kinda thing I'd like to guard against, the overreaction there would be to a potential win over Martinez.

Martinez beat Williams of coarse, but im not sold on Williams either, matter of fact, I think the likes of Williams, Pavlik, Martinez, are there or there abouts on the same kind of level, just that Martinez happens to be marginally better.
