Pacquiao's CLOSE friend: "Manny will fight Sergio Martinez"

[Las Vegas,]

LOL at the hypocrisy, got an excuse for every opponent for pac while none for the same against floyd

and you think PAC had problems w/ JMM and EM just because of technique? JMM and EM are one of, if not THE BEST 126-135 fighters in this generation. you think the great MAB lost to JMM or EM just because of technique?

you wouldnt be surprised if pac beats sergio, but you'd be praising floyd as the GOAT if he did right? you really are a ****in clown

Lol, you're a typical *******. I don't praise Floyd calling him the best of all time. Hell I rank Pacquiao HIGHER than I rank Floyd on my list. Yet to you, I'm a "hypocrite" who praises Floyd. Yeah right.

@also at the bold. I lol'd. So what exactly did JMM and EM use when they fought Pacquiao? Did they use the ring magazine rankings page as a weapon? Now I know why Manny got cut in both of those fights. Damn papercuts.

There is no way the fight happens at 154... he wouldn't even fight Marg at 154 (understandable). The fight won't happen, if he does it will be at some catch weight(sigh) like 150-151. If the fight happens at 154, Manny deserves a medal.

If Martinez can weigh 150lbs or less Pacquiao will fight him. Pacquiao alreadt reach his limit. FYI Pacquiao is small at Welterweight division. The Last time Pacquiao fought he only weigh 144lbs!

True. Welterweights usually rehydrate to mid 150s, some cases even 160.

Pac has been giving up alot of weight in his last few fights. His fighting weight is actually less than many Jr Welterweights.

People calling for him to fight at middleweight are being ridiculous. He's truly maxxed out at welter.

If he packs on the lbs to get up to 160 he'd be bloated and it will likely diminish the attributes that make him such a great fighter - speed, movement, stamina... it would be a walk in the park for Martinez

154 is probably still too much of a stretch. Pac will be giving away 8-10lbs at the weigh-in if he is to come in at his optimum weight which is 144/45 and would be outweighed by a likely 20lbs in the fight.

That's too much of an advantage to give away to Martinez. Think about it, besides heavyweights, when has any fighter given away that much weight advantage against a fellow p4p fighter?

A 150-152 catchweight is the fairest weigh to go. Martinez will be a little drained, and Pac will still be giving away a good 6/7lbs and still 15-20lbs on fight night. If Martinez has the skill to beat Pac, then not being as strong as he would be shouldn't make a difference, it just ensures he won't be able to overwhelm him.

yeah so you and the rest of the boxing world have pac over floyd, so whats new

and the likes of jmm and em wouldn't be called ELITE if the only thing they bring to the table are their techniques. ortiz, alexander, judah and a lot more have all good techniques, maybe better than manny's, and as you consider yourself a boxing fan, you should know what's missing right?

[KILLA RIGHT]

Yes at 160 not no catchweight.....the cotto and tony win doesnt mean ****...winning belts in different weight div use to mean something...

[-Kev-]

Body language? Seriously?

[Hi-Dro]

did seem like pac was scoping martinez to me. I think if he does fight Martinez he will wait till Martinez is older, as he is up thurr at the moment. It would certainly benefit Pac, due to Martinez's huge size advatage, and overall skill set if he indeed wants to face him in the future.

The Fuck are you talking about? Just stop. You're one of the dumbest *******s I've ever seen. I don't even have to respond to your comment. It speaks for itself, but out of the goodness of my heart, please stop. You're embarrassing your "group".

Do you consider technique to be some kind of object or something?

Manny Piņol, the Filipino journalist who sent a death threat to Donaire ("bullet is faster than the punch") after Nonito made war with the media, is a close friend of Manny Pacquiao.

In his latest article, he looked the recent Pacquiao video watching the Martinez fight. Pinol analyzed Pacquiao's body language and concluded that Pacquiao will indeed accept Sergio's challenge.

This is an interesting read...
