Sergio Martinez : "I'm number 2 P4P behind Floyd, Pacquiao is not top 5"

[Bullrider]

Paqciao fought giants small guys like him would have never have the balls of fighting. Clottey, Margarito, Mosley. He dominated them all. Size difference in the Marg fight was so huge that no one could have imagine Bradley, Berto, Ortiz, Marquez surviving Marg's pressure. During the time Paq picked these fights all these clowns' choice was Berto. Some clowns even suggested Bradley. Well, you've seen them fight. Berto was exposed as a mere hypejob. Every clown in this site expected Bradley to massacre the overrated Paq. After just a few rounds, Bradley was already on survival mode. It's embarrassing.

What these Paq hating clowns can't seem to accept is Paq is just as good when he's playing defense. His opponents are terrified of coming forward. (Well, they're the challengers. They're supposed to break the impasse and attempt to take the belt away from champ Paq.)

WOW now you are just trying to keep pac relevant
please stop
Pac is out of the top 3 P4P just deal with it Hughie
dont get your panties in a bunch

Chuckguy, do everyone a favour and stop making up your own rules as to what makes a person p4p.

If Pac was Sergios size, hed wipe the floor with him, end of discussion. As would JMM and as for Bradley, that is a close one. If Bradley was Sergios size that would be interesting.

Sergio only says Pac is no5, as he is scared if he beats Floyd, people will see him as being ahead of Floyd, but behind Pac and still not no1.

So Sergio is getting rid of the competition which he knows is Pac.
Mind games, thats all it is.

Starting from Clottey, Paq's opponents have all been fighting to survive, with the exception of Margarito. Clottey covered himself up with his gloves the entire fight. The rest either ran or backpedaled.

Paq is an entertainer. And that is the key to understanding Paq's fights. If he stands still and plays counterpuncher, nobody can beat him. But nothing will happen if he does. And he panics when the crowd starts booing and heckling. He had to press the action even when he knows he's already miles ahead on points.

He finally got sick of having to be the sole entertainer. He opted to play defense in the Bradly fight and Paq was like an indestructible brick wall that's impossible to crack. Unfortunately, American Idol judges decided the outcome of the fight.

Recall fights like Chaves and Whittaker. Pernell backpedaled in the entire fight. The difference between Chaves Sr, in this fight, and Paq is that Paq can stand his ground, pushed on the ropes and still come out victorious. Chaves doing the same would have been disastrous so his only choice to win/survive was to keep the pressure going. There's no other way.

In other words, Paq is only doing it because of the crowd. That's why I want to see the Marques 4 happen. I can see Paq not worrying about the audience and will do the same thing he did in the Bradly fight. That is, stand his ground and keep motioning Marques to come in and fight.

If the Bradly rematch happens, I'm not sure if Paq will do the same thing. Real judges would score the fight, anyway. Paq wins again either by KO or decision.

I don't know what better demonstrates your laughable ******ity...that you actually believe the things you write, or that you've been watching boxing for about as many years as your join date and still say the things you do. There is a reason no major sports outlets have Pacquiao ranked #1 anymore.

So what if Martinez destroys Chavez and KO's him in let's say 4 rounds? Does he get any respect then? I mean people talking about the fact that Pac is beating bigger guys and Sergio started at 147 and Chavez will weigh almost 180 and have a 3 inch height advantage on him.

Barring controversy, it is a great win for either fighter imo.

You can't be number 2 with Martinez's recent fight history.

Are you serious? And Mannys recent fight history is superior to Martinez's? Manny's last 5 fights: 3 which Manny shouldn't even fought in the first place. Clottey after he lost to Miguel, Margarita lol?, Shane who couldn't even beat Mora? JMM who beat Manny, and Bradley. Yea, Manny's recent fight history is awesome.
