Saremento "Pacquiao would get knocked out easily, He knows we are really P4P #1"

I just don't understand how a guy is the the 154lb champion and then duck a match at that weight class.

He is the 154 champ for godsakes, don't win titles if your not willing to be known as a 154 fighter.

[isidius]

Why doesn't Martinez call out guys his weight division or higher? Stop calling out smaller fighters idiot!

pac been getting owned on a daily basis..floyd's new t shirts got pac fans laughing

Corrected it for you... And this is the truth...

No, he's not the 154 pound champ.

And I don't see the problem, I don't bash Roy for not defending his HW title either. Roy weighed in at CW for that fight, Pac at WW for his fight. They didn't belong at HW/JMW.

If Sergio and his team are so desperate for a payday, and the clearly are, they would follow B-Hop's lead and go to Canada, plenty to be made there. They could challenge Bute and fight in front of 20,000+ people instead of their usual 23. But that would involve challenging someone closer to Sergio's size and not the usual blowing up welters and super welters. Oh well.

Martinez and his people must realize that the only sensible split they can ask for is like 97-3 with Manny. Their drawing power isn't even in the same galaxy

Marco Antonio Rubio or Peter Manfredo up next

You know why they are talking smack about pac right???? It is because pac has bigger balls then Floyd and even though Floyd is a closer match for the bigger Martinez, Martinez knows that his chances of luring Pac out for a fight are much greater than a cowering mayweather and that is the truth and his paydays are with either fighter yet he zeroing in on Pac..

Truth about it, Roy went for the Fake Champ John Ruiz because he wanted no part of Lennox Lewis how was the LEGIT HW champ.

Just like Pac went for Margarito, because he wants no part of Martinez..

See how that works????

Lewis would probably have sparked RJJ out, yes. It's still an accomplishment for a SMW/LHW to claim one of the real belts at HW, or for a former flyweight to get a JMW-belt, even though it's not against the lineal champ.

Pac wants no part of Martinez because the risk/reward is ridiculous. Sergio isn't a draw AT ALL. I also think he said that he wouldn't fight above 150 even before anyone even mentioned Sergio as a possible opponent.

And while you didn't comment it, I'll just repeat it for you: Pac is NOT the JMW champ. He vacated the title and Saul Alvarez is the current WBC champ.

Getting owned by who? You're insane. Pacquiao earned the boxing fans respect by fighting opponents bigger than him but there's always a limit to everything. Martinez camp are making noises because they want millions and only Manny can lead them to that riches (Floyd is still on vacation). Martinez won't even come down in weight to even the playing field. Read this article to wake you up.

Floyd Mayweather may be psychologically whipped by Manny Pacquiao now

It would take more than your run of the mill Everlast Einstein to analyze it properly but I think it’s a fair question to ask.

On his recent ring tear, Manny Pacquiao has been wrecking opponents physically, leaving them nursing wounds and rushing into retirement or else with sputtering careers.

I mean, has anyone heard of Joshua Clottey lately? I think Earmuffs Defense Clottey may be stuck in the Bermuda Triangle or something.

And we get continuing reports/fears that Antonio Margarito might be not be able to fight again due to Pacquiao Whiplash.

The only Pacman foe of recent vintage who has been able to regroup professionally and without marked delterious effects upon his physical and/or mental being has been the Boricua Bomber, Miguel Cotto.

So, maybe Floyd Mayweather’s biggest fear is not what Pacman might do to him physically if they ever fight but how the Pinoy Idol’s attack might wreck him psychologically.

Compare and contrast how Sugar Shame Mosley wobbled Mayweather and how Pacquiao floored Mosley, hitting so hard that Shane traveled rounds four through 12 on bicycle.

Hatton has never officially claimed his own retirement but he had a well-publicized substance abuse stint after Pacquiao stretched him out in less than two rounds.

Now, it’s Oscar who is in the Betty Ford Clinic or a similar outpost trying to tame drug/alcohol habits which seemingly have gotten the better of him.

Mayweather is a teetotaler, this is well known. Let other fighters down tequila and vodka shots or do Bolivian Marching Powder, “Money” sticks to his sarsaparilla or other soda pop flavors.

Pacman will never drive Mayweather to drink.

But what if Mayweather was defeated by Pacman and lost his exalted undefeated status?

Let’s just say any security guard in Clark County might want to put on a catcher’s mask.

I suppose I got the subject bassackwards as they say.

The real searing question is this: has Pacquiao’s path of destruction already made Floyd a mentally whipped man?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Why does Sergio need to be a draw? Pac's name alone already guarantees that his fights will get around 700K PPV buys. The only thing that bugs me about Pac fighting Sergio at 154 is that Sergio said recently on Friday Night Fights that he may have some trouble slimming down to 154 because he hasn't fought at the weight in two years.

Well, it's pretty obvious why they prefer someone that's a bigger draw IMO.

Yup, and Pac has said that he wouldn't go past 150, so it doesn't really matter. There is plenty of good fights at WW. If those can be made I understand why they won't fight Sergio, even though I'd like that fight.
