Martinez is 5'9; Margarito is 5'10. Why can't Pac fight Sergio?

Pac walks around at 154 lbs. He didn't have a problem putting on 15 pounds in a year when he fought DLH and people seem to think he always fights at his walking around weight, so why can't Pac fight Sergio at 154?
Sergio is shorter than Margarito, who Pac had no problem fighting. Pac is walking around at 154. Forget what Team Pac said about 150 lbs, he can make 154.
All he has to do is have Ariza make those special shakes.Comment

Why do you think Sergio is ducking Pacquiao?? They ask him now and he tries to avoid talking about manny like crazy "uhh uu no pacquiao is too small, eh floyd is who i want". He has pretty much recognized he couldn't beat the Pacman just like Roy jones and many other experts agree.
But then there was a backlash and the real boxing people began to accuse him of chasing the dollars too hard and too willing to fight a small overmatched opponent. So eventually after he got the message and saw it was making bad PR, he backed off and said that anyway MannyP was too small. Which was perfectly true, too small and too light.Comment

My feeling is that MannyP wants to finish his great career on his own terms, and not allow himself to be pushed into a damaging very high risk fight which could badly end his career at a time and way quite different to his plans. Quite normal.
Dont forget he's using his career and fame to develop into a politician, which is his main goal.Comment

Martinez is Floyd's and Manny's kryptonite. Those two are going to stay far away from him as possible. Not only because Martinez isn't a draw, but he has enough leverage stylistically to put both of them at a disadvantage.Comment

Why such a change in heart?
for 1, Martinez is about 5'10, Margarito 5'11. Pacquiao is 5'6 1/2 and a 150 lb fighter. He's a small WW. By him fighting above WW he's giving the public a gift. He has no business fighting above WW, if he lost at 160 what would be the point and what would it prove. Margarito was a big dude but it was a style he could deal with.Comment
