So Manny is ducking Martinez because of his size, what was Floyd's reason?

[Xeraser]

Floyd avoiding Pacquiao and Sergio is like a deja vu when he made u turn on Margarito and Cotto. History repeat itself.

[V.WEBB]

Floyd nor Manny are going to fight Sergio, so everyone can stop with the pipe-dreams.

[NinjaMan!]

Manny pretty much admitted that Martinez is too big for him. Floyd said in the post Mosley presser that Martinez could be considered, but that was millions of years ago. Why is this fight not happening? Wasn't Floyd coming back from retirement to take over the sport of boxing?

Floyd doesn't need an excuse. He's just a chicken s.h.i.t. Where the hell do you guys get off expecting him to box? You ****** fans don't pay his bills. You don't feed his kids. You don't poke Ellerbie in the chops. Give it a rest.

[Vasyl’s dad]

Because he has personal issues to handle. Namely the issue with his wife, court, and the possibility of going to jail or losing his kids. Whichever.

When that gets settled he can think about boxing again. Seeing how he has IRS issues as well.


At least it makes sense for him to do what he does. Where as Pacquiao doesn't have highly publicized issues and still rather fight a foot in the grave old man.

That didn't stop him from fighting in 2003.

I got 10 Million on Berto.

Pac already mentioned that even 150 at catchweight was too much for him. he tried it, found it too dangerous for him and didn't even bother defending the belt.

but for some reason, this simple fact fails to register to people like you.

Yeah and don't expect me to think otherwise, we all know what would happen if Martinez were slow/ one-dimensional.

Listen sweety,

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.

Manny with his 5'6" frame, his best fighting weight is trully the light welterweight division 140lbs.... We all know that and you have to agree to that as well, so Manny fighting at welterweight are already legendary feats that only Manny dares to do.. But still Manny was able to conquer and dominate the division, then the question of will Manny finally reach the dead end in his weight climbing? Is it the WW division or will he go up some more till he gets beaten to a pulp and be injured for life? Then Manny tried one more time, he did win, he did dominate, but Manny felt the bigger risks in staying in the 154lbs division.... We all know and even the *******s have to admit that Manny is a beatable guy at WW, the desired fighting limit of Manny... Cotto, Clottey, Margarito and now Mosley had/have a chance at winning against Manny, they just have to amped up their game, so Manny winning/dominating this series of opponents are already legendary by themselves... You know what's the difference between Floyd and Manny, Floyd is a great fighter with great skills, skills that is more than enough to conquer and dominate the WW division and can still go up 2 more divisions and dominate those as well... While Manny is a great fighter with great skills, but skills that can be beaten, Manny knows it but still he dares to fight the fight, push himself beyond his capabilities for him to win the fight, that's what makes him greater than Floyd....

[forget]

Everyone knew Mayweather would never fight Martinez, if he won't fight welters he isn't going to fight a middleweight, especially a southpaw. I laughed when Mayweather mentioned Martinez's name after his last fight. I was like "yeah right!"

MARTINEZ is a JMW / MW...he is the one ducking a JWW/WW in Pacquiao. If anything the bigger guy is ducking the smaller guy, it can't go the other way around.

[AFighter4U]

Yeah and don't expect me to think otherwise, we all know what would happen if Martinez were slow/ one-dimensional.

yeah, yeah, i know. just like hatton, cotto and mosley were slow and one-dimentional.

and don't forget that not only does he fight slow, one-dimentional fighters, they have to be weight drained as well. Plus, he has to take a-side meth AND he has to have his fights fixed.

you know, just to make sure.
