What do you think guys? Let's assume that Martinez beats Cotto by TKO and calls Pacquiao out for a fight and Pacquiao accepts it @ 154 Who do you got winning? I think that Pacquiao has a good chance because of his speed and aggressiveness but then again, Maravilla has speed also and is known for moving. This fight is actually pretty interesting. If Martinez uses his reach right, he can outbox Manny, but if Manny closes the distance I can give it to Pacquiao.
I think pac could make a credible case to win the middleweight championship against Martinez at a catch weight it would be interesting to see how Cotto does against Martinez before i can make a better assessment. But i would go for pac in 12 rounds to win a UD
Let's just put pac vs wlad while we are at it. The weight disparity here is so that of course Sergio wins, this fight is not a fair one for pac.
Think Martinez takes it by KO. If Manny could get in and out like he used to then i would pick him. But i don't think he can.
As a Pacquiao fan I'd LOVE to see him challenge for a title at 160. As much as I'd like to see the fight I don't think Pacquiao could beat Martinez at 160… I don't he would win that fight. If he drains Martinez to 54 he'd win. 57, 58 would be a toss up.
stupid "fans". pac CANT fight above 150 anymore, even if he wanted to, his body just couldnt, and has said he wont fight above that weight post-margarito. unless martinez could make it 147.
Depends on how martinez has aged. Havent seen him fight in a long long time. He might not be the same fighter anymore. It would be a hard fight to choose. If its the martinez of old. i think he has a big chance of catching pacquiao since he is physically the bigger fighter with longer reach. Martinez by KO. If it is going to the scorecards, I have it for pac
I don't like this fight for Pacquiao even if Martinez is really, really past it, if Martinez nails him it's over. Like they say, power is the last thing to go. Look at what Martinez did to Paul Williams.
