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

[Bee Keepz]

Yeah everyone thinks Manny can be great, he just need to actually start showing he is against a prime opponent. Let him go into a fight as a underdog and prove his greatness.

Atlas picked Hatton...

It's either this guy is fighting shot fighters or he's on PED's.

Sounds like a GREAT fighter to me.

Sergio isn't classed as an ATG, Pacquiao is and is blowing away the competition at 147 so why don't he accept a challenge instead of beating fighters that aren't a threat.

My man why can't people get what you're saying. Pacquiao fans are making excuses as to why he shouldn't make this fight instead of challenging their hero to make it.

if hes a bum and mannys a 8 divison champ why cant he fight that bum at 154 where both held the same wbc belt??

I tell you why, they feel that it would be the end of Mannys winning streak, I've had Pacquiao fans admit that Martinez would possibly KO Pacquiao. So there just gonna pretend that Sergio is too big, but we all know that if Sergio was big and slow, Manny would be all over him.

What Atlas said may be kind of harsh, but I think we can all agree that Pacquiao's stock isn't going up with these boring ass fights against these bottom feeders like Clottey and Mosley. Cherry picked opponents basically.

[Bee Keepz]

did he not hold the 154 wbc belt??

Yup, and he weighed in at 145 and fought at 148 on fight night.

Nope, stop enabling Mannys cowardliness, truth about it, if Margarito was a full MW you guys wouldn't have a problem with it, because you guys know he is NO THREAT to Manny.

Manny is only fighting SLOW big guys, why not fight a BIG Skilled guy?

A small welter and former jr flyweight is a coward for not wanting to face the middleweight champion? It should be the other way round. Martinez is the one being cowardly trying to fight a guy two divisions below him, who weighs less in his fights than most JWWs. Why did Martinez put on all that muscle and go up to 160 if he wanted to face pac or mayweather? he should've been trying to get down to 147. But he wants his cake and to eat it too. wants to fight a guy much smaller, and with all the advantages

Pacquiao fans answer this. Would you rather watch a fight where Manny is a huge favorite and the opponent has little chance or would you rather see him against a live opponent who people are predicting to win?

Do you guys like competitive fights or are you just nut huggers?

I don't think you get the point of this thread.

No, you are not the one whose getting it.

i think Pac should fight the klitscko's...

[Bee Keepz]

There is only ONE fight left for Pacquiao and that's Mayweather.

He's too busy worrying about whether Pacquiao is on PED's or not.
