Sergio Martinez: " Ill fight Pacquiao at 150 "

[Ant Live]

Pacquiao fighting Martinez at 150 would be a no-win situation for him. If he defeated Martinez, it will be like the post-Oscar fight criticisms all over again. If Manny loses, he will be criticized for losing a fight where he tried to gain an advantage with the catchweight.

That's the same thing that be said about ever Floyd Mayweather fight.

So, let Martinez just fight someone his own size. Or he can challenge someone two weight divisions up to a catchweight.

But the one thing in supporting Martinez is that he has spent most of his career at lower weights. If he is truly able to fight at 150 then bring it on, but I just don't think he can make that without killing himself. Going down to 150 is far less evil than Mayweather fighting Marquez heavy and then refusing the CW.

I understand wanting to fight Floyd and Pacman. But if Martinez can't get neither, why is he not chasing the champions at 154?
Alvarez vs Martinez
K9 vs Martinez
Cotto vs Martinez
Margarito vs Martinez
Trout vs Martinez
And I know JccJr don't want it, call him out!!! Martinez needs to promo himself.

The fight to be made is
Martinez vs Andre Dirrell at 164

The guys at 154 won't fight him. The guys at 160 won't fight him. 168 is a bridge too far. I don't have a problem with him asking for Floyd or Pac to fight him at 150 or so. Both guys have agreed to it previously for fights. But they won't do it for Martinez.

For as solid a fighter Martinez is he's just trying to get in the mix. I think he's talking through Manny and hoping for Floyd at 154 range. Manny has ok options right now. Just seems more realistic but I dont see Floyd opting for that direction. Sergio is a nice enough guy and tends to drop his hands alot, so ya just never know. Maybe Floyd feels froggy.

I think he starches both Cotto and Margarito...as well as Alvarez who is being guarded like a golden Hen. Hopkins...forget it. I believe in the end Martinez will be forced north to 168.

As high on a roll as hop is at the moment I think sergio takes him at 168. I think sergio would do a calzaghe and just push the pace to a level hop can't sustain at this age, altho he showed good workrate against pascal, pascal isn't exactly all that active.

Be interested as to what Martinez brings to table for incentive to a Hopkins who will be soaring at 2nd peak, assuming he beats Dawson to draw him down to 168? Martinez should shoot straight to 168 if he cannot wait out Floyd-Pac and try to secure a trinket & make a statement. Hopkins vies for 3 division champ thing but more likely goes to cruiser the way he's talking?

Style and ability wise Martinez gives anyone and everyone problems right now. He's pure talent on a mass peak and pleasure to watch......but I'll take hopkins if or when

Pac or Floyd would have no problem defeating Martinez. There just a class above the rest.
The only people I would give a slither of a chance of beating Mayeather or Pac is either Khan or Bradley and that would still be a stupidly tall order.
