Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Martinez: Arum Feels Weight Gap is Too Much

[cherpotpot]

Soon as Chavez Jr wins a belt at 160. Arum will send Pac to face him at 160 or a catch weight over 155. GUARANTEED!!

You're putting words into arum's mouth, dude. Before you criticize Pacquiao, you should know that he is NO LONGER FIGHTING above 150lbs because fighting oversized opponents takes a toll on his body when in fact he is just a junior welter or probably a big lightweight. Read before you write. Pacquiao should not fight Martinez except if the latter accept to fight right after
the "weigh-in" at the maximum weight of junior middleweight division which is 154lbs to even the playing field.

Bhop: "Manny needs to fight a Black fighter!!"

Well, he fought two black fighters in Clottey and now Mosely. It ******. Boring boring boring;What happened to that rythym that Mosely was talking about?I have to say, on behalf of the fans and myself, please continue to fight the in your face fighters who love to fight. You know, the so called one dimensional or flat foot fighter that people talk crap about. The fans would rather see a battle of two real men in the ring, not someone who just runs for cover or who clams up in the fetal position all night. Fight some more Latinos Manny. Fight more warriors with balls. Thank you!

[Pacquiao'd]

pac is a completely fraud.

[Twako]

Nah, that is just a weak fanboy excuse.

FACT: Pac held a JMW title, and Manny regards himself as a genuine JMW champ, and an 8-division titlist

FACT: Pac is supposed to be a P4P fighter

FACT: Sergio would fight him at 154..... you know, JMW.

Pac can either.....
* drop that junk in the bin, in which case, no problem
* grow some balls and fight Martinez

I am sick and tired of the two different sets of rules for Pacquiao.

Double-standards, and truly great fighters, DO NOT go hand-in-hand.

did you live in a cave? Pac had already dropped his JWM title and his team went on record that PAC will fight at WW from there on, or at the max of 150. how much ******ly higher do you want a fighter to go up, coming all the way already from 108?

You typed too long. I lack attention span on something I know is full of bull. Hell..why not try to explain why I don't agree with Pac vs Marquez.

Pac vs Oscar:
ok dehydrated Oscar I agree, but no so much for the haters back then when Pac was finally a one time underdog.

Pac vs Hatton:
Hatton is still undefeated in that level. But we all know Pac was just too talented for the hyperbrawler Hatton.

Pac vs Cotto:
Cotto had only 2 pounds to lose. No big deal. Still more of a challenge compared to other competition out there.

Pac vs Clottey:
Clottey just got too scared. When he threw punches, Pac's head snapped back. Too bad he pussied like Bitter Shane.

Pac vs Margarito:
Don't matter how ****ed up Margarito has been. If you throw about 1000 punches, and your a big motha****er with power, you're bound to hurt somebody. But we all know Margarito was 1 dimensional.

Pac vs Mosley:
Mosley sucks!

Pac vs Marquez III:
too much for Marquez to go up 2 weights above level, while Pac has always been comfortable around 144. Too much a disadvantage for the Dynamita no matter what, just because Pac has gotten stronger. And the only thing going for JMM is his counter-punching accuracy. I love his brilliant uppercuts.

Pac vs Tim Bradley:
Tailor-made for Pac. Bradley has limited defense.

Pac vs Victory Ortiz:
Again, tailor-made for Pac. A more talented David Diaz -->a heavier version of Juan Diaz.

Pac vs Andre Berto:
Slow footed against Pac. Not much offense. Easy prey for Pac

Pac vs Khan:
Khan has no chin --> means danger during exchanges. Expect KDs, and final TKO

Pac vs Martinez:
A heavier & harder version of Jorge Arce. Good Fight. Coin toss, but Pac is more technically sound and has more speed. Pac by points.

Every fighter you commented on drew the same conclusion..... those guys were ALL either old men, faded champions, or no-hopers. Just look.

ok dehydrated Oscar I agree
Hatton - limited, faded
Cotto - disadvantaged
Clottey - a bum, just got too scared
Margarito was 1 dimensional
Mosley sucks

So then you agree ?

Pacquiao is a carefully manufactured fighter with a padded resume'.

[LeadUppercut]

LOL! Team Pac's "Why not" opponent choices is what gave Pacquiao his ATG status and ROYALTIES. All these "Why not" matches put Pacquiao at the very top of Boxing, He is both the p4p king and the biggest draw in boxing.

You're just a hater who likes to discredit Pac's wins, believe it or not there are also some who discredits Michael Jordan's legacy. But when all is said and done, just like MJ, Pac will go down in history as an ATG, and the absolute best of his era.

Only to you non-boxing clowns, experienced fans are not drinking the kool-aid.

[eklok]

then who should he have fought at welterweight then ? thats right u cant name any, only wifebeater , dont hate the boxer he's comeptitions are bum

1.) Floyd Mayweather - he agreed to ALL terms, and Pac went AWOL

2.) Miguel Cotto - no, not at catch-weight..... at WELTER

3.) Shane Mosley - when he was ranked the #1 welter, NOT two years later when you could clearly see that he was a faded old man

4.) Victor Ortiz - NEXT, he is obviously the third best welter on the planet, and clearly the most qualified to fight Pac. This fight will not happen

Your a$$ forgot to mention the rest of the future fighters I put up along with that comment.. All of them has their limit on Pac. Why? QUite simple. Cause it's Pac. Now..If I had JMM in place of Pac facing the same opposition, then 4 or 5 of those boxers Pac faced would put JMM as an underdog.

Do you now see the white light mi amigo. The reason why it's unfair to ya'll jealous fans, is not because of Pac's opponents. It's because of Pac himself. He's too good for himself that everyone thinks he is fighting an easy opponent. All you have to do is Place Pac's name with your favorite boxer and just picture how they would do against those same situation that Pac went through. It's hard to imagine right.

[strykr619]

Are some of you people serious? Manny walks around 144-146 lbs. He even admitted after the Margarito fight that fight people 160+ is too much for him but yet YOU CALL HIM A COWARD for not fighting someone who walks around at 165+?

Are you people forgetting that Manny started his pro career at 106?

Some of the blind hatred for Manny is getting annoying.

Why aren't some of you calling out PBF to fight martinez or is their gonna be a double standard?

Hell why doesn't Martinez MOVE up and challenge the higher belts?
