Comments Thread For: Garcia: Manny Pacquiao Should Fight Sergio Martinez

[shovamp]

Pac is a small welterweight and Sergio is a middleweight. Manny will fight who ever is put infront of him he has done it many times. If Pac fights Sergio defenitely it will be a catch weight to be fair. If Manny beats Sergio a lot of fans will critisize it although catchweight has been practised since the time of Henry Armastrong and is legit. Instead Robert Garcia should suggest that his boy Brandon Rios should fight a legit fighter.

Im pretty sure if manny says "i want martinez, thats it", he would get him. i like pac, but he puts the fighters he wants in front of him, hes the shot caller. so if he doesnt fight marrtinez its his choice. although, i believe martinez is too big, and manny doesnt have to prove anything against him.

He should not be aloud to fight Martinez. I'm hoping mosley has one fight left and beats pac so we can stop seeing fight this lame competition his promoter over hypes, de la hola never had a chance and was weight drained, hatton was already and over hyped fighter who Floyd ko'd, Cotto had his prided ripped away by margarito, clottey was a statue, but still outlanded manny and busted his face.up, margarito fight was a joke, another come forward no defense punching bag, none of his last five wins are impressive. Least mosley has faster hands and hits harder than his last 5 fights, but Floyd took his confidence as a fighter away.

Give the man his due.

You're like saying these people whom Pacquiao fought could be beaten easily by other fighters. Floyd didn't even want to fight Margarito, Cotto and Clottey who were the top welterweights then...except Mosley who was overtrained and was not able to fight for a year (and you wonder why Mosley lost.)

Martinez came out and said he'll do this at 153...sooner or later he's gonna ask for 152, then Roach is gonna counter with 150. Then we got Pacquiao vs. Martinez at 150

They get all confident, think making the weight isn't gonna be an issue, and simply look at the money involved. Just how it goes.

This is why I didn't want Martinez to budge, Martinez should be smart enough to know that Pacquiao is running out of credible opponents, the public would have demanded this. Then again Pacquiao and Arum have no shame, so who knows...

Shut up ok? Pac is a junior welterweight! All his fights at welterweight he has to eat in a buffet just to make weight at 144 and below. Fight night he also never weighed in more than 146 while other welterweights can ballon up to 165 or more! Pac is junior welterweight while Martinez is middleweight. You guys and *****s don't want to see a good fight. All you want is someone beat Pac as your coward queen too scared to do it!

Take a look at this and to all the Pac haters out there. Let say they agreed to fight (Martinez) at 153.

Pac as usual will weigh in 144, fight night 148 the most.
Sergio will weigh in 153, fight night 170 more or less.
now 170 Martinez vs 148 Pac at fight night. So...
170
- 148
= 22
if my calculation is right Martinez has a 24 lbs advantage over Pac during fight night. You think this is a good fight? For the *****s... YES IT IS! You *****s are really unbelievable!

IF ever pac would finally decide to fight martinez, i hope it would be at 154. Who knows? Maybe Pac would fill up and eventually find it more manageable to fight at that weight one of these days.

Mosely wil be up for Pac, because when you fight the no1 you train right and prepare for the toughest fight of your life. Mosely thought Floyd would be easy just like JMM did.

But Pac is at the top of the tree.

There was never a time where Margarito and Clottey deserved a shot at Mayweather, nor does anyone question they would get beat with ease, Cotto deserved one but once again a lopsided decision, so stop trying to justify Pacs last opponents. The boxing public outcried for Floyd tonight hatton and mosley and he did and beat them both with ease. He fights Marquez and gets **** for Marquez being to small, even though Marquez is 5'7" and manny is 5'6", both with 67" reaches both of which fight each other at 130 pounds in March of 2008 which was their second fight in which Marquez won atleast 16 of 24 rounds, but its ok for Floyd to fight the smaller manny in which Ariza found a magic potion (peds ) to allow manny to gain muscle with keeping his speed and gaining power aa he gains 15 pounds only 9 months later to fight De La Hoya, all of that in which a couple years ago Reach was asked if manny would move unto fight Floyd and his response was manny can get to 147 because he blows up and gets wide.

NO!

It's Sooooooooooo unfair on Manny e.g. Catchweight King.

Martinez is Toooooooooooo big (Translation: Too Good) for him though Martinez would fight Manny at Pacman's last weight division he fought in.

Manny would be at a disadvantage, he would be up against a southpaw that actually moves and uses the ring, throws punches and let's his hands go.

Stick to your flat-footed, coming off losses pensioners, Manny... we know Arum will.

NO Garcia! Mayweather should fight Martinez not Pacquiao.

IF ever pac would finally decide to fight martinez, i hope it would be at 154. Who knows? Maybe Pac would fill up and eventually find it more manageable to fight at that weight one of these days.

He already fought at that weight, And currently holds a belt at THAT weight.

[ivan49]

unfair to keep handicapping Pac. the guy came from Flywieght. he went up 40lbs and gave up 17 ibs to margarito. these *******s only want him to lose.
stick with 147lbs. if martinez is as great as he claims to be , whats a couple of pounds lower his natural weight. heck paul williams say he can make welterweight, why cant he?
