    Bob Arum says Sergio is on the shortlist of potential opponents for the PacMan:

    http://www.boxingnews24.com/2014/05...g-pacquiao-against-sergio-martinez-and-cotto/:shock:

    Shortlist: "Miguel Cotto, Sergio Martinez, Mike Alvarado, Ruslan Provodnikov and Juan Manuel Marquez";)

    Ruslan and Cotto have the same trainer as Pacquaio so that's less likely. And Pacquaio got the better of Provodnikov in sparring . :nono

    I truly truly believe we can be seeing Pacquaio-Martinez should Manny defeat Juan Manuel Marquez. That would leave ample time for Sergio to recover his legs.:thumbsup

    Let's presume the fight is at a reasonable, reasonable catchweight of 157 pounds, do you think Pacquaio would capture his 9th division world title? :think

    Sergio has to beat Cotto first . Martinez has one fight left on his HBO contract after Cotto.:deal

    Vote and discuss with reasons either way.:good

    Pac wouldn't go up 157 , at his age it's would be wrong for him to fight Sergio at that weight

    Martinez would knock Pac out. The fight won't happen.

    Pretty clear at this point Arum is trying to cash Pac out.

    pacquiao would beat that guy, he does everything better than martinez, he would beat him at his own game.

    A guy who weighed 158 recently wouldn't be weight drained for 157 pounds. Martinez could probably drop below 157 .

    Manny is the bigger star so Sergio has to accept the catchweight.

    If it is for the MW title, I believe it has to be a minimum of 155 pounds.
