150lbs accepted for Pacquiao & Martinez

[BuckToothed]

In an interview with Carlos Irusta of the Boxing Scene, Martinez had this to say:

"I am willing to go down to the 150-pounds to face Manny Pacquiao. It does not depend only on me. We will see what happens, if his team and [Top Rank CEO] Bob Arum accept [the fight]. Because it's one thing is to fight Antonio Margarito at 150, and another thing to face me at 150," said Martinez during an interview with BoxingScene.com's Carlos Irusta.
"It would be below the junior middleweight limit of 154 lbs [69.850 kg.]. 150-pounds is 68 kilos. It's an incredible effort for my body. I walk around at 78 or 79 kilos, with a maximum of 3.2% body fat. I have very little body fat and I'm very muscular.To go down to that weight can be fatal for my health. But it can be done. With enough time, I think it's possible to do. What's better than saying, 'we'll fight you anywhere you want, the date you want and the weight you want.'

"He always said 150, and I respect his position, because he is a little fighter even at 150. But it's going to play to his advantage because I'll be almost ten kilos lighter in my body. "

Then why offer it you eager beaver? I thought you were a blown-up welter?
If you walk around ~170lbs and only have 3.2% body fat, doesn't that means you could fight at super-middle?

Pacquiao is fighting Ortiz after JMM. Tis tradition afterall.

martinez can do the same thing marg did as far as weight,,,, marg came in at 164 on fight night vs pac and got destroyed... martinez was 168 on fight night in his last fight which is 4 punds heavier but if hes willing to go down to 150 that can change things and he can be the same size marg was on fight night... if this is the case how is he too big but marg wasnt??????

3,2% BF is just laughable. Why even touch on something you obviously have no clue about?

Bring the fight on!

No fighter is at 3,2% BF.

No problem with Martinez as long as Bradley is done while Floyd keeps on ducking.

marg was still to big for pac but pac accepted the fight anyways, that doesnt mean marg and pac was the same size just cuz pac accepted the fight and won, and if martinez can do 150 then its up to pac and team pacman. i would honestly love to see this fight happen at 150. but again will pac get the credit he deserve? or will it be another drain excuse?

Floydiots are now afraid that even Pacman might be the first guy kill Sergio. If this happen, then Floyd has no other chance to finish his "legacy" unless he fights Pacman. But what if Pacman declines to fight because he's retiring? So Floyd's career will be doomed forever. No wonder his Floyd's ****** do their best to discredit and/or appeal for the fight to happen.
