Comments Thread For: DiBella Responds To Roach on Pacquiao vs. Martinez

[Pullcounter]

dibella just needs to give it up. this fight will never happen.

Arum tells Freddy and Pac when to bend over and how far. They have no choice but to listen.

Shane Mosley will be the next opponent. It's a done deal.

Why doesnt Martinez fight someone his own weight? Why does he wanna fight a 147 pounder? He knows he can't make that weight so whats the point?

Martinez wants to fight the 154 pound champion for the 154 pound belt.

Is there something wrong with that? isn't that what boxing is about? challenging a champion for his belt?

Make the fight next year at 154lbs!

Allow Pacman to face Mosley in April, if he wins, then he should fight Martinez
in October or November 2011.

if the fight happens, it probably will be pac's retirement fight, win or lose

[chinoy]

Immediately after the Margarito fight, Arum has stated that he will not allow Pac to fight above 147 lbs again.....
that's whats wrong with Dibella insisting Pac fight martinez.....

Martinez wants to fight the 154 pound champion for the 154 pound belt.

No, boxing is not all about that...There are regular fighters & ordinary champions but there are also exceptional fighters & great champions...Maybe your point there applies for regular fighters or ordinary champions but not for Pacquiao who adventured different weight division levels for a greater quest of glory proving himself & the world...He might be a champion at 154lb. division but truly his only a small welterweight, true in his last 3 fights weighing at 144, 145.75 & 144.5lbs fighting at light middleweight...Even he's victorious in capturing the light middleweight belt, what actually happened a feat against all odds ( in weight, height & reach), a welterweight Pacquiao (at 148lbs., stands 5 feet 6 inches, reach 67 inches ) annihilating a middleweight Margarito ( at 165lbs., stands 5 feet 11 inches, reach 73 inches)...Although he's successful, he has already proven everything & found his limits, he's truly a small welterweight who has an effective fighting weight at 145 lbs...So at this point of time, he's the apple of an eye if anyone wants a piece of that apple then whatever conditions laid before them must observe & respect that at all costs...

Catchweight goes either way. Both not at their natural. And MP can`t catch Martinez`s weight at 160.
