Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao vs Martinez, Only at 147-Pounds

[Bring It On]

Don't be ridiculous man.

Martinez just KTFO that 6'3" giraffe Paul Williams, and before that he schooled Pavlik who could make SMW.

Manny is supposed to be a JMW champion, so he should grow some balls and fight a genuine JMW.

As usual, Manny " padded " Pacquiao will not fight anybody who has skills, or anybody who is on top of their game.

P. Will is still smaller then him. 1) He asked for a catch weight and 2) Says he can make WW no problem.

I'm talking about who he has called out after beating P. Will. I've seen him talk about Pac, Floyd and even Cotto, for some reason. What's up with that?

Sergio should beat some good fighters before he thinks he's some kind of God. 1-1 against P.Will and a win over a drunk Pavlik as his best accomplishments. Did I hear G-O-A-T!?


And yeah, Pac never fought any good fighters. They've all been crippled journeyman.

Of course he can. It's not like he is 3-4% bf and dry to the bone at 154. I'm sure he'd suffer performance wise from going that low, but of course he could do it.

They'll never fight though, Sergio should man up and start to climb divisions like Pac instead of chasing smaller man.

Don't be ridiculous, it is just short of absolute ******ity to suggest that Martinez could make 147. He can barely make 154 now.

And only short-term manny-fans see boxing like this..... "Sergio should man up and start to climb divisions".

Most fighters spend their entire career representing one primary division. Boxing is about cleaning out divisions, not flicking through them whilst cherry-picking the weaklings.

Manny-fan's, dragging their standards around on the floor

damn roach why even bother saying this when we all know it is impossible? roach mentioning this only confirms that team pac looks to win fights on the scales.

[$tate of Mind]

BoxingScene.com was advised by Freddie Roach, trainer of WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, that a fight with Sergio Martinez is only possible at the welterweight limit of 147-pounds. Martinez, the WBC middleweight champion, can squeeze down to around 154-155-pounds at most. Making 147-pounds would be impossible. Martinez has always taken the position that "the Pacquiao fight won't happen because he's too small."

Drain'em thats how ye do it

Pac has come up from flyweight, and Martinez' foe Pwilliams said he can go down to Welterweight and challenge Pac. So what's Martinez' excuses, knowing that Pwill is bigger than him..... If Pwill can make welterweight so can Martinez.... but he won't because he knows Pac will kill him at WW.....

what about fighting for pacs 154 title but no catchweights?

the last time martinez made ww was 2001, almost a decade ago.

147lbs or no go! no unfair advantage!!

[LeadUppercut]

The bottom line is.....

Manny is a b1tch for trying to make out that he is an 8-division titlist, when he is too scared to fight a genuine JMW.

Forget Sergio then, fight any JMW who is on top of his game? Yeah right.

I hope Pacquiao signs to fight Shane, and I hope Mosley KHTFO for being such a pu$$y b1tch.

If the JMM fight gets signed at 147, then I am bashing that Manny-f@g every single day until the coward retires.
