Comments Thread For: Pacquiao To Announce Opponent in One To Two Weeks

[Elotero]

Expecting a new champion to defend his title at the division's limit, that's insane. I remember when yuri foreman was too big...........If he fights mosley it should be at 154. That fight would suck but not as bad as the one at 147.

Exactly. Just like the old David Diaz treatment and similar to Roy Jones vs John Ruiz. Sure he can cherry pick a heavier guy that doesnt look so hot and beat him. But can he stay and defend that belt? At the weight limit? Nah. Thats blasphemous.

Why aren't these guys considering Floyd Mayweather for May 7?....Oh, yeah I forgot, Mayweather will probably be having his salad toss by then.....time to practice what you learned on Dancing with the Stars my little chocolate ballerina.....

Sergio Gabriel Martinez needs to be The Next Opponent For Pacquiao for the WBC and Ring World Middleweight Championship. That will get Floyd's Attention if he win The Middleweight Championship.

can you not tell the difference? martinez cant make 150, marg can...is that too complicated for you?

Thank you!

Bottomline is that people who have preconceived hate on Pacquiao wanted him to lose either conceptually or in the ring even if the odds are so great.

Pacquiao is really pushing it a 148 and they want him to go up to at least 154? Martinez already claimed he is pushing it at 154 likewise...

mosley, berto and marquez would not survive 12 rounds against this version of pac. neither, i think, would khan, maidana, bradley or alexander.

on the other hand, martinez is too big. pac's 154 belt is paper, it's hype. argue inches and pounds all you want, but margarito is a bigger david diaz, while martinez is a bigger manny pacquiao. makes no sense for pac to fight martinez, it's just not a fair fight.

floyd's still the ideal fight. he's the only fighter i can see around welterweight challenging pac right now.

khan maidana bradley and alexander would at least go the distance with pac, theyre prime fighters not old washed up

hmm. i can see alexander or bradley surviving by running like cotto did against pac in the second half of their fight. maidana'd get destroyed. khan's heart was proven in his recent fight, but his chin's not good enough to last a good punch from pac (having a sparring session with pac using 18oz gloves doesn't really prove anything).

marquez is old but far from shot. berto's prime but raw. mosley's the only guy among the 3 who's way past prime, but he's easily the hardest puncher. all the same, none of those 3 lasts 10 rounds against pac.

Of course Gary Coleman would be looking at the height factor, but Margarito made 150 and Martinez can't.

Tripping over your standards?

154 is the limit for JMW, and Manny is a JMW champion.

Course, he never fights anybody unless they are shot or disadvantaged, so that fight aint happening.

Why do you guys have just low expectations from Manny ?

Does the dude have some sort of disability or something ?

[LeadUppercut]

There's a reason why Martinez himself said Paul Williams can fight Manny at 147 and he couldn't. Because he's simply too big! He can't even make 150. Idiot.

You two clowns are a joke.

Why would you even mention 150? it is not a division.

That catch-weight rubbish is a joke.

It is absurd that a so-called P4P fighter would require a catchweight.

[LeadUppercut]

The difference is Margarito can make 150 and look extremely healthy, while Martinez would have to kill himself to make it, and only morons look at fight night weights as proof of how big someone is.

Agreed, and *******s have made a living out of that line, expecially with JMM.

But only a moron would consider a catch-weight fight even relevant.
