why is everyone hating on martinez seriously but it is a good thing cuz everyone knows the dude is a threat HAHHAHHAH well who the Hell is sergio gona fight next and i think hes last fight didnt do good on ratings cuz ive not really know who he last opponent was and i forgot hes name but anyways i think sergio should just fight at 160 from now on cuz the dude doesnt have opponents other than kirkland in the future and he himself said he is going back to 154 so thats a useless fight for now..

Based on what Ariza said about Manny his next fight should be Martinez. Ariza said Manny trains weighing 151-153 so that throws the weight BS right out of the window. Sorry *******s :-) Manny will not fight Martinez because he knows he cant win. Floyd has to rise to the ocassion and I have a feeling he will.

Lol of course you have a feeling Floyd will rise to the occasion...SHOCKING! But seriously, what gives you that feeling? Inactivity? 2 extended vacations? Paul Spadafora rumors? Not rising to the occasion since 2005?

Sarimento was arrested in Los Angeles because he is wanted in Spain for aggravated assault. That was why he wasn't in Sergio's corner in his last fight. There is nothing funny about it. Here is a link to the article below:

Yea, he couldn't leave Cali after an aggravated assault case

Thanks. I missed that.

I think the majority of the blame here falls on HBO, they simply don't have a date for Sergio right now. But they do have some dates for some TBA fights in the meantime.

They HAVE to have Devon, Pwill, Dizzy, and Bradley on according to contracts they foolishly doled out.

How can you take Pac trains at 151-153 out of context? Only if you have some excuse you wanna make on his behalf. The man trains at 151-153 then comes down to his fight weight. He said it helps Manny absorb punches from bigger fighters. He also said that was the tactic he started using against Cotto.

are you really this naive?

just about every fighter comes down from their walk around weight.

saying Manny trains at 151-153 SHOULD tell you he is not a Junior Middleweight considering if he is already at that weight while his opponent would be COMING DOWN to that weight

Martinez is the best, what he's achieved against top competition puts him at number one.

Yo man. If you are not trying to acknowledge Oscar De La Hoya's influence on both Floyd and Manny's careers then we have nothing else to discuss or debate.

What he's trying to point out is that Manny and Floyd were bigger draws back then than Sergio is right now. They both had PPV fights before even fighting Oscar and were considered paydays for DLH. Martinez, on the other hand, is one or two fights away from making his first PPV at the age of 36 or 37 years old.

Btw I'm not hating on Martinez, but I'm pointing out the obvious.

and so what? martinez probably starts his training weighing mid 170's to low 180's...the only difference is that pac doesnt have to lose 15 to 20 lbs to make weight like most other boxers...this includes sergio martinez, and many many others.

tell me YSF, WhoTF comes into training weighing within their division limit? only a dum.b fool wouldnt know that its normal for a boxer to go into training weighing more than their division limit...THATS WHAT 3+ MONTHS OF INACTIVITY DOES TO A BOXER...they gain weight

also note that pac did mention the reason why he went into the fight against margarito weighing in below the catchweight of 151...going into the fight weighing i believe it was around 144/145...due to the fact that at the 151-153 pac said he felt slow n sluggish
