    Wait, isn't the front runner for Pac's next opponent a lw, but i'm sure your fine with that aren't you?
    This goes with pac as well. 147 is as far as he can probably go. He is smaller man against marg.

    He's a formerly 106/115 and Serg is already 147 that time.

      I've never said Pac should fight Martinez.

      Personally I have always thought that Pac could clean house at 140, while Mayweather might be able to fight at 154.

      But all we do know is that when both fighters stepped in the ring at jmw, both weighed in at about 147 pounds on fight night.

        Hi,
        I am new here and find your thread quite interesting ....
        Your wording shows a very right aspect of this boxing community...
        Thanks

          Bro, stop it already. You know the reason perfectly well, everyone does. Sergio is getting older and he wants to secure his financial future, so he HAS to pick one of the big names near his weight class, irregardless of the real merit of the fight.

          Stop making a big deal out of it. If they fight, so what? Cotto gets to challenge himself, AGAIN, and Sergio gets to bank. He already made his goal (become MW champion of the world). The rest of the road is icing on the cake, if he can secure his future, more power to him.

                Sergio said it himself. Pac fought no hopers. and u defending him? why not pick the guys above him not below his division? and i bet u once he beat some of the guys in super middleweight he would get recognize and earn money for his retirement. im pretty sure Cotto will fight him in 154 lbs but not in 160 lbs. Cotto is too small for MW.

                  so cotto is a no-hoper who will give martinez a pay day. that still doesn't make cotto not a no-hoper.

                  maybe martinez should stop making a big deal about pac fighting no-hopers if he wants to fight those no-hopers himself.

                  it's very hypocritical

                    No he wouldn't. He will never make close to the Big Three (May, Pac, Cotto), so he HAS to fight whichever is most viable RIGHT NOW to get some decent money. It is what it is.

                    I would have no problem if he faced Cotto because he is a former 154 lb champion facing a current 154 lb champion. Mismatch? Sure, but no one told Cotto to swim in those waters did they?

                      Pull, you're reading into it far too much. It's all media posturing to make his name known.
