MOSLEY: Maritinez is too big

[brick wall]

If there's no competition left in his class shouldn't he be looking at guys in higher weight class???

he can if he likes to but it's not a requirement...it's his choice. but ideally in boxing, fighters should be looking up, not down.

[Check_hooks]

martinez never asked anyone to come to 160

Sergi Drizrinzurik

And now hes asking Ishida.

He's ducked his last 2 mandatories in a row and more than likely will duck a third.

LOL. As if Mosley didn't spend a nice amount of time at 154. Give me a break, Shane.

Translation: he is too good.

Shane said the same thing about Paul Williams.

Sergio is not all that.

martinez is too big.

mosley won't be able to hurt him.

Mosley never ducks anyone. He probably damaged his career for taking rematches against guys who clearly beat him the 1st time. If Sergio could make 147 Mosley may entertain the idea. $ talks

With $$$$ he forced Dzinzuruk to go to 160 when hes a 154lb champ all his life. He also made Cintron to 154 when hes been fighting at 147 for a decade

I wouldnt be surprize if he makes Ishida go to 160lbs

That fight against Margarito was semi-legit. We are just de-sensitized by the all the events and the "usual" winnings of Pacquiao but to actually fight and make that happen is intself an accomplishment.

THere's always a cutoff point...Mayweather and Pacquiao came from 106 and now to 147. 154 with Marg was an experiment but still a dangerous experiment.

Pacquiao chose to stay around 147ish to keep his speed but could have lost too in the 6th or the 5th round...but again, even for Mosley or Mayweather going up (And both are a lot taller and more physically more able to than Pac) is still very hard to do.

Thus the only way is for a catchweight. But I don't think that would happen.

For me there's nothing wrong with catchweight fights...they're a mutual agreement between two fighters and fair. It isn't just Pacquiao gaining weight as a disadvantaged but the heavier fighter losing weight as well (meeting in the middle)...

In that light, Martinez going down to 154 might be too much for him whereas his actual fighting weight is way over 160. That meant Pacquiao fighting him would be about 20 to 30 lbs difference?

That's ridiculous....

Here is a perfect example of an idiot.

Size/Big: The physical dimensions, proportions, magnitude, or extent of an object.

Therefore all things should be considered. Since this is boxing its about weight. If he cant make the weight, he doesnt belong in that class and therefore would be considered big
