Pacquiao Has Earned The Right To NOT Fight Beyond 147!
These guys all want to BAIT Pacquiao to higher weight clasees in hopes of their largest payday ever, and at some point Pacquiao and advisors have to draw a line. Most these guys weighing 150/154, walk around on fight night weighing nearly 170 pounds once they rehydrate. That's nearly 25 pounds more than Pacquiao would walk around at. SO Pacquiao doesn't need to fight Cotto again; he already stopped him in 11 rounds. He doesn't need to fight at 150 or heavier; he already did that against Margarito, beat Margarito convincingly, but not without taking damage to his own body, against a guy that outweighed him by at least 20 pounds. Sergio Martinez won't go up in weight and fight Bernard Hopkins, he can barely beat guys like Barker in his own weight class. So he sits on the sidelines and chirps out to bait much smaller guys than himself in Pacquiao and Mayweather, for the dream of a liftetime payday, plus he recognizes the huge size advantage he'll have the night of the fight. SO at some point, if you keep taking the bait to go up in weight class after weight class, you're going to get hurt; just ask Oscar dela Hoya who found that out with Bernard Hopkins.
