SERGIO MARTINEZ: Too Big for PACQUIAO?

[tomhawq]

physically martinez is way bigger than pac...even a blind can tell you that if you let him feel their bodies. don't know why some poster are playing ignorant about the size disparity. now if they decide to fight each other well and good. if not, then there should be no bitching from the fans.

take it straight from the horse's mouth, sergio himself says pacquiao is too small for him and he wanted floyd.

[colly10]

No he isn't.But people are saying too big because they realy mean too good.They fought Margarito because they've seen his last 2 fights.They won't fight Martinez because they've also seen his last 2,what's the difference??

The fact that he weighed in at under 145 when the limit was 150 proves that he's barely even a WW. He has never even weighed 146.
Martinez weighed close to 159 in his last weigh in.

People say he's to big because he's too big, theres nearly 14lbs in the difference between what they last weighed it at. I get tired listening to the bs

[Bring It On]

Sergio was 176lbs 30 days before the Williams re-match.

No, Sergio is to SKILLED for Pac, Wapakman knows no limits, he Would KO Robinson, Leonard, and Ali all in 1 night.

i think it would be a good fight. Martinez would still tax that ass though, though pac would give him a good fight.

Martinez hasnt fought at 154 since February of 09. This fight makes absolutely no sense since Martinez now comes into the ring weighing 170! The weight between both fighters are waaay too far apart. Even if Martinez was to agree to 154, he would either be drained and/or baloon back up to 170 after the weigh in.

Thank you, very much. But this makes too much sense!!!

U mean weight drained so he can get Oscar'd then??How is drained & exhausted a level playing field??If Pacman can fight Margarito for a title at 154,why can't he fight Martinez??The difference is in the opponent.Margarito shot & pacman's team knew Pacman walks him.Martinez fighting like a devil & team Pacman knows he gets merked.That is the only reason,plain & simple.

Are you saying you're interested to see this fight with the same circumstances as the Margarito fight? The fight with Margarito was at 150, are you willing to see Maravilla go that low? And if he loses, will you give full credit to Pacman?

You're probably just yakking without knowing fully well how the Pacquiao/Margarito fight unfolded. It was just a FIGHT, at 150, no more, no less. Pacquiao even accomodated Margarito and agreed for a 150 catchweight fight because Margarito, who fought 99.9% of his fights as a welterweight, couldn't make 147 anymore. Sulaiman found a way to make easy money as he has a vacant WBC superwelterweight belt lying around somewhere in his closet. Bob Arum fell for it hook, line and sinker, thinking he can sell this fight as Pacquiao's quest for an unprecedented 8th belt, and the rest is history.

For the record, after the Margarito fight, postfight press conference to be exact, Pacquiao and his team said that they bit more than they can chew because Pacquiao felt the power of the bigger guys (154 and above) and he's gonna go back down to 147. That was a week BEFORE the Martinez/Williams fight.

I also want to know what's a fair fight to you, and do your research better next time before you quote me...

[gopi11]

Everybody knows Margarito was chosen because he was Margarito... they wanted a 154 belt, and had the opportunity handed to them
Pacquiao didn't even make welterweight that night, he is clearly not going to be faced against a guy that can make 170 fight night

Another clueless guy...

[Outworn]

Since Pacquiao had fought Margarito at 150(although he came well below at the weigh-in) sure enough he can fight Martinez at the same catchweigh.

[BoZz]

it has nothing to do with his weight..martinez is too dangerous for him and arum knows that..pacs hollywood story has to continue and the only way it can continue is if he keeps winning and top rank bumms who can't pull the trigger anymore are the only answer.
