When asked what come next for Manny, especially if Mayweather doesn't accept the challenge, Roach said the team would consider 160 pounds. "Paul Williams, the winner of that fight, is that too big for us? I thought this is too big for us at one point, 160 might be next, maybe we will go to nine world titles. But let's take care of Margarito first."





He's not counting his eggs/chicks before they hatched. He did say they're gonna take care of Tony first.

Pac is too small for 160, especially against Williams.

In other words. "Let me pump even more steroids in him and he's no longer to small"

I think people are over exaggerating how good pwill and martinez are. I don't see Pacquiao having a lot of trouble with them because they don't use their height effectively, and Pacquiao does what they do so much better. I guess we will see Saturday night to compare Manny's effectiveness against Margarito, against that of Paul's, but I think Manny is step beyond them.

I would love to see Pac against Williams or Martinez at MW with no catchweights. It would be a bridge too far though.

That's 'biting more than he can chew.' Pac was complaining yesterday that he wanted to go 150, but could make just 147 or 148 no matter how much he ate... That should answer the question somewhat.

if pacquiao beats margarito and decides to up to middleweight and fight either martinez or williams, that would be suicide because for one, williams, aside from his physical advantages he would have against pacquiao, has a very solid chin and i seriously doubt pacquiao has that kind of power to topple a 6'2 fighter. same with martinez, who i think he's right at his prime at the ripe old age of 35. this would be a mismatch and i don't think roach would want any of these fights.

Are you SERIOUS? What the hell am I saying... of course you are.

williams and martinez as easy fights is JUST CRAZY!

I wonder if Pac gets to weigh in at 144 when he wins the middleweight title. his move up in weights has come to an end. its obvious he can weigh little more than light welter to be effective and thats where he is staying regardless of what stipulations he imposes on his opponents .

If Pac and Haye have lost so much weight so they are even faster than usual then i cant see thier opponents lasting very long at all.

160 next at a catchweight of 154 no doubt.

Hohoho...PACMAN will have a difficult time maintaining his leg power.
