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

[flint]

the fight will never happen because the steroid weight drain king manny pacquiao will duck a fighter that can box and counter.

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?

No one is handicapping Pac, Its the other way round mate, Pac handicap is opponents before he gets in the ring with them, And Pac isnt a small man.

NO Garcia! Mayweather should fight Martinez not Pacquiao.

Co-sign but I don't think so Floyd will fight Martinez. At least, Floyd dared to mention Pac's name from time to time albeit get pissed of all the time but Martinez? never heard him mentioning about a possible fight against Martinez.

Pac's too damn small. All the top JWW's are bigger than pac.

Pac's weight vs. margarito was 148.

Khan- 149 against maidana
Maidana was 150+
Ortiz was ****in 156 against perterson
Bradley was 149 last night
Alexander was 152

Yep, Ariza/Roach both stated that Manny is a natural JWW.

He should not be required to fight Martinez.

But taking that fight would be reaching for greatness.

Like Marquez did jumping two divisions to fight Mayweather.

And just like he will do again, if he lands a Pac fight at 147.

Judging by your figures, and by Ariza's expert comments, Manny should fight JMM at 140, and no higher.

You would have to agree with me on that point ?

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...

Did he really ?

This is crazy ****.

154, or I'm not interested in that fight.

I will never pay to watch a catch-weight fight.

If a catchweight can get a fight done that would seem otherwise impossible....then I'm all for them.

Unbelievable, this is like circus-boxing.

See the difference is Pac would have no significant size advantage anyway. Pac would still be 148 and marquez around 144. nacho and JMM recognizes this that's why they are fine with the fight being at 147.

pac holds the cards so either marquez plays along or go find another partner.

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.

No, there are only two possible reasons to demand a catch-weight.

Either you are not good enough to compete with your opponent at his natural weight, or you are attempting to drain him to gain an unfair advantage.

Catch-weights are a joke.

I bet you guys smoke leaf and drink catpiss.
