Teddy Atlas: If Manny is that great he should step up and fight Sergio Martinez!

[sigrab]

Sergio was at the fight last night.

And since Pac's name had to come up due to his recent win against Shane, I guess Teddy wanted to say something that could link them together.

Unfortunately for him, ****** **** came out of his mouth.

[Titing Kabayo]

Sergio is chicken. Why not fight Vitali instead?

[Steak]

I would most definitely like to see this fight, and if Pacquiao beat Martinez it would be HUGE for his legacy.

unless youre a Pacquiao fan thats afraid of seeing him lose, then you want this fight to happen. Its one of the best matchups possible in boxing, why the hell wouldnt you want to see it?(at 154 only)

Here we go agian, one of the smallest welters in the game needs to fight the middle weight champion of the world The word "joke" doesn't even begin to describe this...

the only joke is you, since Serg would have to cut weight to get down to 154(limiting his abilities).

Pacquiao LONG ago outgrew his lower weight classes and is very clearly at his best at 147.

I guess ATGs arent supposed to take risks anymore, eh? nope, lets just keep fighting fights that youre supposed to win.

As a real Pacquiao fan, I want him to fight Martinez...not only because it is an exellent fight and one of the best that can be made in boxing, but because if he can beat Martinez it will do amazing things for his legacy.

Just because Pacquiao beat up a fake 154 pounder a catchweight doesnt mean he's ready to face real 154 pound fighters who walk around 180 pounds between fights

That's like if Martinez beat up someone ****ty at 168...so then he's ready to take on Bute? BS

The fact they are 2 divisions apart and could conceivably meet at 154 is a MIRAGE. Martinez is too big. It's completely irresponsible for the trainer and promoter to pit their prize fighter against someone who would outweigh them by 20 pounds plus in the ring....these guys arent heavyweights for chrissake

Whats so great about Martinez? Hes a bum. He has no HOFers on his resume and its doesn't make financial sense.

Anyways Pac would fight Martinez in a heartbeat if he comes to 147.

Are you serious??martinez is the biggest threat out there for may and pac,personally martinez prob beats pacman.....Why do you care what makes financial sense??

[Supreme75]

Shouldn't these *****s be calling for Floyd to fight Martinez? I mean, he's not going to fight Manny so why not fight Sergio?

The fact that people are saying he should move up in weight, once again, proves how good he is. People also keep saying there is no competition at WW. Well, there is, but he doesn't have a set of balls right now.

Pac said he was hurt badly in that Margarito fight, which prompted him to want to stay in his weight class. Wtf is so wrong with that? Why don't you *****s go on a campaign, calling for Floyd to come out of hiding and fight Sergio.

If Martinez cherry picked a SMW "title" than it would be fair to hold it against him if he didn't want to fight any other SMW out there.

Would love to see it, but this thread is talking about Manny.
