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

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

I bet its the first time a MW called out a WW that won his first title at Flyweight

Who cares. Manny is a Legit WW. Those flyweight days are long gone bro. Thats a terrible excuse.

*******s are now using the old ***** excuse.Remember when Floyd was a small welterweight,well guess who's the small welterweight now??Margarito also had a huge size advantage over Pacman didn't he??But Roach saw his last 2 fights,that's why they chose Margarito.But that's also why they won't fight Martinez,because they've also seen his last few fights,lol!!

I don't care that he's calling out two WW's, they're both insanely good WW's and are the $$ makers in the sport right now. What bothers me is people who claim Pac/Floyd are ducking him when he is obviously not in their weight class.

I'm not saying its right or wring dummy.

Just pointing out flaws in the TS' ridiculous argument that it's normal. So what? Manny is the cash cow, any normal individual would expect everyone within 2 weight classes to be calling him out, but you can't make such simplistic statements and not be accurate at least.

Manny doesn't need an excuse not to fight sergio. If he doesn't want to, we all understand why. Just like Floyd isn't about to step up to that fight.

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.

Its not that he isnt the first, but its hypocritical of him to beg for a pac or wifebeater fight when he himself is unwilling to fight big money fights at super mw.

there's nothing wrong with martinez calling out floyd and pac. that's where the big money is in the first place. sergio can call out all he want...pac and floyd can accept or refuse. either way, it should be acceptable. it's the overzealous fans that's making an issue out of it. they see it as an opportunity to diss on the fighters that they don't like and they do it vigorously but in a ****** way.

[Tamis!]

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.

That would be traced as a deep rooted problem with corruption in boxing mate, these ABC head honchos making up bogus titles. IMO that wouldn't be Manny's fault directly (his team definitely is at fault) if he just fights whoever and whatever is available for scumbag Bob to shove up his azz and these ****** ABC orgs arrange **** like titles on a CW.

But that would be in no way be compared beside hypocrisy, which Martinez seemed to be known for at the moment.

Each his own indeed!

Bernard Hopkins made a career of picking on the smaller guy...yet he's a legend?

its not that
its the fact that pac fans are hating on him because they know he would destroy pac plain and simple
oh he is too big yada yada
but margarito is just as tall if not taller and he isnt?

plain and simple Sexy Sergio is way too good for pac and pacs camp needs to say it

floyd fans arent any better with this

[King Ju-Ju]

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.

I'm not bias at all. Just wouldn't wanna hear Martinez say he is too small for a bigger guy if a good offer was made by a Super Middleweight or Light Heavyweight.
