Comments Thread For: Martinez: I Don't Blame Arum For Protecting Pacquiao

[joelab75]

Arum is scared of Martinez skills? what skills are we talking here? size is the only difference. Manny already said he would go back to 147 lbs a week before Sergio beat PW. you haters talk like PW was so skilled, ATG and future hall of famer that suddenly Sergio become a skilled fighter. no one even consider him a future hall of famer at this point and you guys talk like he is already ATG.

He was a week late. Pac said after the Margo fight that he will go back down to 147, he just felt the power of a 165 pounder, he's still a belt holder there. Martinez came in at 168 against PWill, imagine the world of hurt he can do to Pacman, but if Martinez can go down to 147, it will be a different story. I'll be the first one to crucify Pacquiao if he doesn't take the fight...

Has Pacquiao relinquished the 154 title? It's a serious question because I don't know maybe you can enlighten me. If he hasn't yet, then Martinez has rightful claim to challenge him if not then yeah Pacquiao should only worry about his 147 belt.

Sergio's team still talking *****. he wants to become p4p. why not fight a guy bigger rather than calling out Manny who they reffered "small guy".

they probably dont know p4p means how good a boxer is regardless of weight? Pac has done it many times. so was Floyd. why cant Sergio do it? there are plenty of competition in a super middleweight. im sure he is not "too small" for those guys.

if you have to fight number 1 and number 2 P4P to become number 1 why Andre Ward, Lucian Bute and some other boxers are not calling out Manny or FLoyd if thats what Sergio' team think about becoming P4P number 1? are they really that ****** thinking he has to beat number 1 or 2 even though they are not on the same division?

i agree . and also who has he beaten besides a strung out pavlik and an overrated hype in williams.theres still competition at 154 and 160. martinez should fight pirog. he wins then he has a case for being number three on the p4p list,he loses then he should retire.

If skills were not a factor as you claim then Pacquiao should take the fight since Pacquiao(out of all people) has proven a more skilled little man can beat a less killed big man. Please do not resort to calling me hater because it is childish and I don't have time for that bs. I am just calling the shots as they are.

Martinez is full of crap. He should fight the bigger guys not a midget. Martinez is being protected by his handlers. They want an easier fight by calling Pacquiao. Pacquiao is no middleweight. He is not even a welterweight. Martinez is a coward just like Mayweather by not fighting bigger guys. But we can't Pacquiao out. He is a beast in the ring. If he accepts the fight, another P4P wannabe and pretender will be in for another nightmare. This will his pass for retirement. Martinez should think otherwise. He will become a laughing stock and another Pacquiao victim. Believe it for I have believed Pacquiao a long time ago.

Martinez has no skills. He is like a bulldozer going forward.

if you are not a hater, why would u support Sergio calling out Manny if there are so many competition in his own weight division and a lot more above him?

so tell me beating P4P #1 or #2 to become number 1 make sense even though Sergio and Pac/Floyd are not in the same division? and besides Pac and Floyd have never done beating number 1 or 2 P4P to become number 1? what they did was to climb in weights and winning in a dominant fashion. why cant Sergio do that?

I'm not privy to Pacman's affairs, but there's a lot of news/articles out there that was released the night after the fight that he's going back to 147, and that was a week BEFORE the Martinez/PWill fight. There's a lot on Pacman's plate right now it's just foolish for him to give importance to such things as relinquishing a belt. Boxers usually does this if he has an up-and-coming fight in a different division or a different sanctioning body, or has no plans to defend it. I'm sure this is not one of those top priority, things-to-do-list of a champion boxer...
