    So why intimate Pacquiao is in some way obligated to fight Martinez because he's pound for pound number one? Apart from disliking the man personally, of course.

      Martinez: Middleweight boxer
      Williams: Junior Middleweight boxer
      Mayweather: Welterweight boxer
      Pacquiao: Junior Welterweight boxer

      Now, who should fight who?

      Martinez should pick his size, while YOUR MAYWEATHER should fight Pacquiao. It's that simple. No pre-conditions, just fight.

        Indeed. Boxers are not obligated to fight people in different weight classes. If they want more respect, recognition etc, then they may choose to do so; but in no way should they be called out for not doing so. Pacquiao weighed in at 144.6 for his last fight. 144.6! And people are making out like he's ducking the middleweight champion. Now, the sensible amongst us know the people doing that are just bitter losers who want to see Pacquiao beaten. But still.

          WTF?! Why would Martinez only make 1.5 million against Pacquiao? Margarito made much more than that and he is a C-class disgraced fighter and, at least to most boxing observers, had a 100% chance of losing. Many people, including myself, refused to pay for that fight, and it STILL sold over a million PPV's.

            Manny is obligated to fight who he chooses. I really don't "dislike him" he has been great for boxing. I just would like to see him challenge Martinez like Sugar Ray did to Haggler.

              Pacman should fight Martinez on the count that his past 5 fights have been handpicked garbage.

              Light-Middleweight champion?, P4P#1? Won't defend it against the P4P#2/3... get that crap outta here.

              Get Mayweather back asap so we can send the pretender back to his congress seat for good.

                Martinez is a natural Light Middleweight. He fought most of his recent career at Light Middleweight. He only moved up to Middle to fill in for Pavlik and fight Williams the first time around, fight Pavlik after that, and defend it against Williams at catch weight 158.

                I'm sure Martinez, although they say otherwise prob in order to pull a "Roach" catch weight, can prob still make 154.

                      Pacquiao weighed in at 144.6 for his last fight. Derobe yourself of your bitterness, anger and bias for a second; absorb that information properly; think about it; become a boxing fan again; and then come up with the sensible conclusion I'm sure you're capable of.

                      Oh, and don't worry about what your forum "buddies" will think of your sensible and considered answer either. They're not really your friends.
