Martinez is not too big for Pacquiao

[Roja's480]

You just don't get it. When the fans, Bob Arum and Freddie Roach say Martinez is too big for Pacquaio, that is a euphemism for too good. Think about it! Why would you get in the cage to fight a lion (Martinez, Mayweather) when you can fight a clawless, old housecat (Margarito, Mosley, Clottey) instead.

1. I'm pretty sure Pac spars with jr middleweights and middleweights

2. They said the same thing after the Oscar fight. 147 is too high for us, we're going back down to 140. 2 yrs later Pac is campaigning as a welterweight.

sparring is an entirely different thing...

and pac's team realized the marg fight had set the limit on which weight pac can fight...

not any other fight before the marg fight...

didn't the bum barker expose martinez, and martinez himself offer a 150 catchweight? he did it with margs, why not with him? not saying i want it to happen, but i'm sure if pac was up for the challenge he would want it. i doubt we see martinez vs either pac or may though.

Pacquiao Will Never Fight Martinez.. Just Like Mayweather Will Never Fight Amir Khan.. According To Pacquiao Fans Martinez Hits 2 Hard.. According To Mayweather Fans Khan Is 2 Tall

lol at these floyd apologists. so how come your idol is so scared to fight the pacman? you fanboys have been saying this for years now that poochiao is just an overrated boxer who cherrypicked his way to the top. yet your idol has to demand the most stringent test that was ever demanded of a boxer in the history of the sport. why would you need test to such a boxer?

don't you want your idol expose the overrated boxer by simply having balls and fight him? what a bunch of clowns these apologists are. they can't even make up their minds.

at 180 degrees opposed to team pac's not wanting any fight for pac vs very big men,
if pac vs sergio at 150 is viable money wise, then i would like to see this fight....

of course, we will again hear or read protestations about the issue of catch weight...

however, pac can retire after a pac vs sergio fight...win or lose....

a win will be another big feather on his cap....

a loss will not dent what he had already achieved in boxing...

i'm just wondering in what sense it was patently obvious that pacquiao was troubled by the weight when the fight was such a walk in the park for him, that's all. he looked well within his comfort zone to me.

Marg's got in a single body shot at round 5 ( if memory serves me right ) ... letting Pac know he didn't belong at that division. Pac just managed to gut it out ( as champions often do ). Marg is slow but grinding fighter. Just imagine if he got Pac several times in a round.
