    At this point, I don't give a ****. I just want to see it.

    Martinez might be heavily effected by such a cut, but meh.

      Martinez is a small middleweight and probably his peak weight is around 155-158, so SuperRoidman would get a 80% credit. Of course if He shows the public He's not juiced up for the fight, I would give him the whole 101% credit. But we all know that won't happen.

        martinez's advisor said that martinez is a natural WW... so I guess pac does deserve credit if the fight comes off?

          Pac should get some credit for beating Martinez at 150 of course, but hed get more credit for 154.

          If you beat Pac at 154 youd get credit so why dont pac get credit as well? Cotto would get credit for beating Pac at 147 even though Pac started at 116lbs.

          So you cant just discredit people on a whim all the time. If Sergio agreed to 150 dont start complaining if you lose. Cotto dont complain at fighting 145 only pacs haters do.

            Of course he wouldn't. Martinez is almost certainly drained, and even if he wasn't everyone would say he was.

              martinez gotta fight and win spectacularly at 150 lbs before pac gets full credit... which is why I wanted jmm to fight someone at 144 lbs before he got in the ring with pac

                I think this fight is fair at 154lbs. Asking 150lbs of Sergio is a bit much I would say.

                  So asking Sergio to weigh in more than 4 pounds less than his last fight is unfair, but having Pacquiao fight a guy with a 17 pound weight advantage is fair.

                  Do you guys ever become aware of your own bias?

                  So Pacquiao is a ***** for not wanting to fight a guy at a weight limit 6 pounds more than he's ever even weighed on fight night? Is Sergio a ***** for not wanting to fight BHop at 175? Come on guys try to be consistent.
