Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Weighs 167 at The Seven Day Mark

He should move to move up and beat some of the Super Middle Weight like froch, bute, AA or Pirog in MW to claim his right to P4P Top 5. Beating an exposed Pavlik and Overhyped Paul Williams is still unproven IMO.

wow

some of you are just borderline ******ed....no one has come close to beating pavlik at middleweight ...martinez beats him and doesnt get your approval? youre a clown

Is regular to weigh that high before a fight...7pounds to lose in 1week would!!!Woah!

Pacquiao is not an idiot! He already felt the punches by a guy named Margarito who weighed 165 lbs by fight time and realized that he didn't belong that high. He even noticed it while training when he couldn't keep the weight on. That is why before they even fought he knew this was a one and done deal at this high a weight. It's the same thing Mayweather did when he fought ODLH, he only moved up to 150 lbs for that one fight and immediately came back to welterweight. Neither Pacquiao nor Mayweather belong anywhere higher than 147 lbs. and neither guy needs to fight Sergio to prove anything. Both guys moved up as far as they can go even if they could beat most guys at 154 lbs...

People will stop complaining when he stops imposing weight demands and fights fighters at their natural weight. Sergio is a middle weight now and probably shouldn't try and squeez down to jr middle, but will he? For the money he'll probably try and squeez down to 153. Will he be weight drained? Likely will. It will completely be sergios fault if he does that but until paquiao stops making opponents come down in weight to get in the ring with him, people will continue to complain, its very simple.

All Pacquiaos fights will be at 147 lbs for now on. He said a month before he stepped in the ring with Margarito he wouldn't fight another fight above 147 lbs.

Actually, at middleweight, Jermain Taylor almost KO'd him in the 2nd round of their first fight. Pavlik was in big trouble and barely got out of the round. So to say no one has come close is not accurate. Pavlik was rocked...

167 is a good weight. he'll make weight easy.

Yeah 7lbs of probably just water isn't much, he will probably weigh the same at the unofficial weigh in the night of the fight.

[Pullcounter]
