    i think it's a complete travesty that pacquiao refuses to accept martinez' challenge to defend his jr. middleweight title. and before you pactards say pacquiao is too small for martinez, why then did he fight for the title in the first place? i mean, he is the champion right? that is why i think the WBC jr. middleweight title he won from margarito is totally bogus, especially if he's never going to defend it! to me, pacquiao has been obsessed with winning these trinkets to improve his stock in the all-time p4p list.

    call me crazy but i think it is much more impressive to stay at a division, clean it out, then, move onto another division, clean that one out, instead of jumping from one division to another, weight draining your opponents, and then leaving that division without defending it a few times. that's the ultimate definition of someone who is picking and choosing his opponents very carefully.

    Manny tried the Junior Middleweight Division (154 lb) at a catchweight and it seems that that is not the division for him. He fought for the title because the title is made available to him. Wouldn't you? If he again decides to fight at that division I wish if would not be at a catchweight.

    Sergio Martinez does not belong in that division anymore. His last 3 fights had been under the Middleweight Division (160 lb).. Even if Martinez can still manage to weight in at 154 lbs, that still isn't his weight and he'll just rehydrate and have an enormous weight advantage over Manny come fight night. And this is the reason why Martinez is too big for Pacquiao.
