Someone explain to me how pacquiao is better than sergio martinez

Lol s.o.g

 

You forgot offense. To beat a great defensive fighter like Floyd, you need to be a great offensive fighter. Pac > Martinez in this department.

martinez strengh>pacquiao strength - true and Martinez's biggest plus in a fight against Floyd
martinez speed=pacqiuao speed - I say Pac is faster
martinez size>pacquiao size - true
martinez chin>pacquiao chin - true but not so much a plus when you go up against a defensive fighter
martinez defense>pacquiao defense - true but not so much a plus when you go up against a far superior defensive fighter

 

Martinez is bigger, Pacquiao's better at everything.

 

Because you touch yourself at night.

 

I think you should use "dangerous" instead of "better." I feel Martinez is the more "dangerous" fight, but Pacquiao is the "better" overall fighter in a p4p sense.

I know what you meant though.

 

Margarito beat Martinez

Pac beat Margarito

Pac is better than martinez

 

Exactly this. Very simple.

 

Pacquiao is far more talented and skilled than Sergio.

The only reason some would consider Sergio to be more of threat to Floyd, is because of his size, and his size alone. Being two weight divisions bigger gives him advantages over Floyd that Pacquiao doesn't have.

 

Its his size, if Martinez was a 147 boxer he would not beat Pacquiao, allthough he would put up a good fight.

 

Boxing math doesn't work that way.

 

has shown to have a higher ring iq so far against his less talented opposition

has a much better jab

those are the things he's better at

 

Those three things highlighted above are obvious because you're comparing both fighters in an unfair ground. If they fight @ middleweight/openweight, that case can be right. But what if both fights @ welterweight? Should you're cases above still be correct?

Let's put it this way:

You're like comparing Hopkins to Klitschko by your way of arguement
Should we say Klitschko is better than Hopkins?

Try to pick an elite supermiddleweight and try to compare them to a heavyweight, lets say David Haye in an open-weight comparison and try to compare them in your criteria above. How would the answer be like?
Should we say Haye is better?? :-(

 

Well, for starters Manny throws like a million more punches per round and doesn't take rounds off.
