    That's what Pacquiao did, he tested whether he could indeed fight well at 154lbs. But he could not. He weighed 144 on weighing time and 149 at fight night. He told his corner about Margarito, translated from tagalog, "he's just too big"

    That's the reason he relinquished his title. And you still want him to fight Martinez, when Pacquiao himself could not heallthily compete in that division?

    You're just too selfish for your sake.
    Martinez ain't any bigger than the DLH Mayweather faced or the Margarito Pacquiao faced, no excuses really.

      Pacquiao went for his 8th title at 154 lbs. Again, 154 lbs. If he and his camp want to claim that they have a title at 154 pounds, then there is no reason why they cant fight Martinez at 154 pounds. Its as simple as that. If you say that Pacquiao is too small for 154 pounders, then you can't boast about his "8th title". Simple.As.That.
      See Pacquiao together with Mosley (thanks for borrowing this from another NSB's avatar: h3R0)...imagine this alone is a "mismatch" in terms of height/length. And Mosley wouldn't even dare to go up to JMW...



      When Pacquiao "Tested" the waters "safely" against Margarito he was outweighed by 17 pounds and that alone was dangerous how much more for a much bigger Martinez in terms of weight!!!

      Sure if Martinez could come down to 154....

          Martinez is much larger than 154 lb. DLH. Pure thickness.

            Cuz Floyd is a vagina and he doesn't fight for legacy. He fights for checks and Martinez never sold a PPV before in his life and his last fight against Drizurizirk did terrible numbers and that was free on hbo

                    What part of MUTUAL compromise/contract don't you understand? Were DLH, COTTO, MARGARITO forced? Ok, thank you...

                    Would it be fair for Martinez to down to 147? Ok, then....154 is the middle, and both can agree then there's a Catchweight fight.
