This is dedicated to ALL of you who said SSM was a worthy opponent...

There is no good reason why Manny cannot make that one sacrifice.

Yeah. Make a sacrifice for the benefit of your opponent I hope Martinez can do the same.


Seriously. 140?? If Pac is going for pure legacy here. he should go for 135 for Juan's Lineal Title. 140 doesnt make sense. Its either 147 for Pac Welter title or Juan's Lineal Lightweight title.

It makes perfect sense. One man goes up and the other comes down, then the grudge match is on. It is daft to expect Manny to boil down to a weight he might not now be able to perform at and it is equally daft to ask Marquez to jump two divisions again in his mid to late 30's.

If Pac wants to fight Martinez then go for it. I've been reading that Martinez might well come back to 154 because of the lack of big fights at MW. Equal fight as well. One goes up and the other comes down.
