This is crazy!!! Roach wants Pacquiao-Martinez!

[Kev]

I bet Martinez could still make 154 pretty easily. At 156, any of the "Pac weight drains his opponents" arguments would be ridiculous.

I still think he'd be nuts to try Martinez though - there is such a thing as pushing too far. For me, this would be the most dangerous fight out there short of Mayweather.

I disagree on your first point and agree on your second. Martinez is a full-fledge middleweight now, but he'd make 156 for a fight with Pacquiao. It would definitely be the most dangerous fight for Pacquiao outside of Mayweather.

He's hardly a full fledged middleweight he fought at 153 and 3/4's in 2009 against Kermit Cintron. He should be able to fight at 154 again if he's as good as people say.

Hopkins, Mosley, Williams are all fighters around this weight who comfortably moved up and back down again between divisions.

It's kind of hilarious to me these days how thanks to Manny, losing a few pounds and remaining competitive is seen as an impossible dream to achieve in professional boxing.

now this is what i'm talking about. come on manny, take a risk once in a while! you're already arguably a top 15-20 all time great, it's time to fight dangerous opponents in their primes. if this fight were to happen, i would join the kool-aid club and if he won, i'd go as far as licking his forehead for a job well done!

But first, we have to make sure that you're vaccinated for rabies.

I think Pac can beat Martinez if he fight like againts DLH the entire fight. BUT it could be his last fight. The potential damage is too much that he might be forced to retire after this
