    Why do people act like Martinez is the first jmw/mw to call out a ww?

    Simple question, it's nothing new. May & Pac are the biggest names in boxing, so they are going to be called out by anyone looking for a payday, and both have fought for titles at 154, that should make them fair game. They can refuse and claim their too small or Martinez is too big/good but they were willing to take a belt from guys with half a pulse at jmw so they brought this on themselves.

    Lol.

    Who is saying he is the first mw to call out a ww?

    None of this changes the fact that a PAC fight at 154 is completely ridiculous, and he knows it. PACs team has already offered him the fight at 150, and he turned it down.

    At 154, Sergio would have around 20 pounds over PAC. Even Sergio himself has admitted the size difference is too big. So why does he insist on trying to make a fight that will never happen?

      That's because Sergio called out Manny mate, and you know the mixes in people's minds here

      Seriously though IMO, if Sergio had not said anything like "Manny is too small" before he realized what time it is, then he wouldn't come across as hypocritical.

      And I'll never feel ill for a guy when he's all about the benjamins and a big payday, it's just too funny Sergio, as respectable as he was before all these, would resort to the oldest trick in the book

            The is indeed a size difference, but in the sport of boxing that why they have divisions, and again IF Pac was willing to be handed a title ona silver platter at 154 then i see no problem with anyone able to make 154 wanting a shot at that title.

            Martinez put his foot in his mouth, can't deny that, & it is hypocritical based on his statement. At the same time it would be a bit hypocritical of Pac & his team to claim a belt at 154 and yet also claim he's too small when called out by a fighter who can make that weight.

            Of course it's about getting a big payday, which i think Martinez has earned at this point, and sure Pac and his team know their limitations and there's no good reason to take the fight, but i see nothing wrong with Martinez calling out the best at 147 and 154 if he's willing to go down in weight. Martinez is a career jmw after all.

            Just my opinion, to each his own.

              I'm cool with him calling out Welterweights, just as long as he was to be willing to fight a Light Heavyweight, if 1 was to ever call him out.

                i love how ppl act like they dont kno why hes calling both pac and may out. both have gotten 154 lb belts and both are the supernovas of the sport. why the frik wouldnt he call them out? they have the right to refuse. but to act like there arent numerous reasons for why this is a very different circumstance, i question whether some of u guys are just needlessly biased.

                  There is a slight possibility that's why.

                    i actually don't mind Martinez calling out Pac.

                    i personally think that he'd have a huge advantage over Pac with about 20 lbs difference in weight if they would ever fight at 154, but hey bring it!

                    Pac/Martinez at 154 IS risky for pac, but i'd consider it actually a greater challenge for him than Floyd at this point in time.
