    Then I could make the argument that Martinez makes 154 no problem.

    Then I could make the argument that he has every RIGHT to challenge Pac because he JUST won a belt in a weight class he was the best in.

    With that said everyone who followed boxing at the time know that Winky-Mayweather was NEVER going to happen.

    I mean you seriously think Arum was THAT ******?

      If it was on anybody it was on Cotto to at least make an attempt to try and get the fight.

      I mean who's Pac chasing? Bradley, Martinez, JMM, Jones, Berto, all want the top spot. So they want Pac, they're chasing Pac. They want what Pac has.

      Who's Floyd chasing? Bradley, Khan, Martinez, Ortiz, all want the top spot. SO they wan't Floyd, they're chasing Floyd. They want what Floyd has

      Who did Oscar chase? Everybody want it Oscar. Everybody because that was the top spot. They want it what Oscar had.

      Who was Marg chasing? Floyd. Margarito want it what Floyd had.

      Did Cotto do even a 1% of what Margarito did to make a Floyd fight happen? Hell no. If Cotto want it the top spot. He could have made somewhat of an effort.

      If Cotto would have made an effort to make the fight happen. Like all these other fighters who did and Floyd would have made up the "excuses" then by all means I would call it a duck. But, Cotto made zero effort to making such fight happen. Hence why it wasn't a duck.

      To put it all on Floyd. Is F'ing idiotic/hating/nuthugging. That's all it is.

        floyd - 140 vs Winky - 154 = 2 divisions

        Pacquiao - 147 vs Martinez 160 = 2 divisions



        By the way Pac has never weigh in more than 145 for a fight, that should tell you something!!

          I don't think mayweather ducked winky, but i think it's abit of double standards to demand pac to fight martinez.

          Pac has no interest in defending the bogus 154 title, so that is irrelevant.

            Cotto would always of beaten Floyd. Even tho Cotto has been thru wars because he never ducked nobody, he would still beat Floyd into submission.

              He had no problems fighting for a bogus title either. You don want the big boys calling for your head stop cherry picking and stop puccifooting in their division.

              With that said what Floyd wouldve did to Cotto wouldve been illegal in 51 states.

              He didnt duck Cotto. He didnt duck Marg. People need to let that go.

                Cotto said several times, ''Im rerady to fight the best, if Floyd wants to fight Im here, and ready.

                You dont have to say anything else to make your self available. Unlike this other fighters, Cotto have selfrespect and some arrogance to, so he wasnt chasing Mayweather and begging for a fight like this other guys have done.

                When Cotto beat Mosley and Floyd beat Hatton, that was the fight to be made, period, is not rocket science!!!

                  Wait when did Martinez ask for a Middleweight fight with Pac? He asked for JMW. You know..the weight class Pac just fought in?

                  Who cares he never weighed more than 145? Has he not proven hes MORE than capable of fighting bigger guys?

                  Enough already.

                    So you think pac should fight Martinez? I would love to see it.
                    Do you think May should fight Martinez?

                    Do you feel Pac is ducking Martinez?
