Word is this is the current plan WHEN JMM beats Alverado and IF Martinez beats Cotto. If this happens and pac beats both JMM and Martinez, he would be a 9 division champ. What would you guys think of that?

You can see Manny want to avenge his loss and I think he will do it against JMM. However there is no way Manny goes to middleweight, that it too high a jump and he would not win.
Having said that I did not think PAC Man would beat Oscar, Hatton and Cotto but he did. He needs to come in that type of form and I can not see it.
Marquez is soooo old I wouldn't be shocked to see him look like molasses and even lose to Alvarado. If Martinez beats Cotto and looks good, Manny would be insane to fight him.
It would be but the fight would be huge and a great way to end a career.Quote:

I think Martinez is the second best fight out there for Pac to complete his career. Win or lose it would be legendary. Ambitious ending parallel to his ambitious fight schedule of the past that propelled him to his great career. I would love to see it.
Promoter 'all ears' for a potential Sergio Martinez-Manny Pacquiao fight - Ring TV
Manny doesn't fight southpaws. Looking back 10 years he's fought 2, 2 that weren't good. That tells me he won't fight Martinez. But good on him if he does. As for JMM, I don't care to see it. If he's insistant on the senior circuit go straight to Martinez.
Name southpaws Pac should of fought. You think Martinez would KO pac?Quote:

I don't begin to know what southpaws he should have fought. But you don't go through all those divisions without running into a few. I'm not calling Pac out, I'm making an observation that leads me to believe he won't fight Martinez.
I'd have to see how Martinez looks against Cotto before I made a prediction on a Pac/Martinez fight. I usually only pick Marquez against Pac but I could see Martinez as a bridge too far so to speak.
Martinez would end Pacquiao.
Dunno man, that's a helluva lot of if's. I can't imagine for the life of me Manny maintaining above 147 at this point in his career. Not trying to be a downer, but are we really this desperate for big fight name entertainment? Sergio has a handful of legit middles living in his basement right now and the Cotto fight needs to be a springboard to sorting out division business. Until someone beats him up and takes his scalp btw...I have no idea why Martinez is being constantly cast in the role of 'opponent' and its a shame.
Sergio will not mind as long as he gets paid loads and keep beating up these smaller fighters. Most champions would get criticised as Hopkins did but we all know Sergio has earned these pay days.Quote:

Pac has not faced a punches in since being laid out by Jmm i not sure his chin can take Martinez might be a blow out and i don't think pac going to do it with out a catch weight either. I think Martinez might want it at 160 i do not see pac doing it because he will get destroyed hell i think there are WW that can beat him right now he could face young guys coming up. Mayweather fight i guess won't happen but that fight was gone since 2010 because of both guys. I don't think any of this fights are going to happen because Jmm going retire and pac not fighting Martinez at mw.
If Pac beat Marquez and Martinez, not only would he be the fighter of the decade, but he'd go down as the greatest fighter of all times..
Sergio needs to take care his own front lawn and refute the naysayers, leave the silly catch weight traveling circus alone. We all know they fight for money but If I saw Martinez standing across from Marquez I'd point and laugh. I just can't see scarum Arum letting Manny near that unless he is entering the ring vs Cotto in a wheelchair and with the grimreaper holding the ropes open for him.Quote:
