How do you feel about pac saying martinez would have to drop to 147?

[Pacquiao'd]

Pacquiao and Floyd are welterweights. If they don't want to move up, why would anyone blame them?

b/c if you are a fan and feel confident if your guy why not want either to fight sergio at 54. i know i want to see floyd do it. cant say the same for you *******s who are full of excuses

considering pac weighed in at 144 for margarito fight i guess this statement is reasonable if he felt margarito was just too big for him once he got in the ring with him. however, if ANYONE said this is a reasonable statement and turns around and bashes floyd for fighting serg under 154, you don't deserve to have posting privileges

I thought Floyd and Manny were supposed to be the same size?? What gives, Pacquiao?

Floyd must view Manny as more dangerous than a middleweight if he prefers to fight Sergio over an asian midget.

147 is a joke and those who agree with it are clearly cult followers.this site has some ridulous posters on here.

Pac's fought Margo at 150. He can't and won't fight at 154. If he accepts a fight with Sergio at 150 it would be another cw and he will never hear the end of it. Therefore, 147 is it. No cw.

"We can negotiate a weight"

did any of you guys miss that part? I guess that leaves the door open for 150, but still the caveat of criticism will always be there

It doesnt matter because i am against the fight at 147 or 150. The fight isnt realistic.

No one expects Martinez to move up 8 pounds and fight at super middleweight here, and i dont expect Pac to beat someone who is a full fledged middleweight or drain him out at a catchweight

When you're the top dog you can call the shots. Even if they are unreasonable or unfair.

Nothing at all. Like I said yesterday, people need to take Pacquiao for what he is. I won't repeat what he is but all i'm gonna repeat is, that when people start accepting Pacquiao for the style he likes to fight, it'll be easier to appreciate him as a fighter. People who want him/wanted him to fight Raheem, Guzman, Mayweather, Martinez, etc[that type of style], know that those styles can beat him. They just wanna see him lose. I use to be one of these people just before the Martinez at 147 thread. But now him saying he'd fight Martinez at 147, and the whole avoiding Raheem after he beat Morales, and avoiding any decent fighter at 135 in 2008[Casamayor, Guzman, Campbell] over David Diaz. Avoiding Mayweather's lone stipulation to fight in 2010, picking Cotto over Mosley in 2009, fighting Clottey off a loss in 2010, fighting yet another stationary/come forward fighter Margarito at a catchweight, not wanting Mosley when he came off Mayorga/Margarito TKO's, but wanting him after a Mayweather loss/Mora Draw, and now fighting Marquez 3 years too late. Just take the dude for what he is and stop trying to get him bullied. He's a media created/Bob Arum hype. He's a top 25 ATG with media hype and great matchmaking, great matchmaking by always putting him against a style he's superior to and avoiding putting him in with styles which he is inferior to.

People defending Pacquiao because Martinez is too big are only kidding themselves. Pacquiao has avoided "That style" all his career. It's not a weight thing, it's a stylistic mismatch. And I have no problem with that anymore. Pacquiao is a great "fighter" against other great "fighters". But a good-average boxer who moves around and actually boxes, makes him look ordinary.
