    I don't like it. The fight should be at 160.

    I have been saying it all along man. PW is just media hype. America is trying to look for their next superstar and they are trying to force feed us PW as this i will take on anyone star. When in reality he is just like PBF and Pac. He will take on anyone if the money is right and i have some advantages over him.

    Nobody forced Martinez to fight this fight man, Dont get me wrong, I dont agree that it shouldnt be for the belt(or with the Catchweight for that matter) but Martinez did agree to it...Just calling a spade a spade.

    IT would be really shitty if PW won and he would say i am the undisputed MW champion!! If Merchant was there i would imagine he would correct him and tell him he is the undisputed 158lb champion.

    Of course he would. It is the biggest fight for him out there other than a PAc or PBF fight. And Martinez does not really make the smartest business choices. He is a throwback and he just comes to fight. Thats why i like the guy. No bull**** just gets in the ring with whoever.

    I mean you heard the guy say he would face Bute in Canada or even Pirog.
    Those are risky ass fights for a guy who only has a few left in him.

    Not fussed about the catchweight, the World Title being on the line is what I have the problem with.

    But with neither guy being a natural Middleweight, I don't see why their can't be a catchweight. Williams is a big guy, and I've even heard some people say he should be fighting at Light Heavy...but he won't because he is scared...:huh

    ...but like I said, neither guy is a natural Middleweight...neither will struggle to make weight.

    Manny doesn't get a pass for his two catch-weight fights, thousands of people criticize him for it.

    I remember when people were complaining about Williams making Martinez come UP in weight last year. Now they're complaining about Williams making Martinez come DOWN?

    it was supposed to be for Martinez belt at 154 but Wiliams chose 160 cus its what he was used to since he was getting ready to fight Pavlik so Sergio goes up and makes him look bad.

    Now when its for the LINEAL middleweight title a weight Williams said he was comfortable, now he wants a catchweight? The mans a joke.

    I agree that it shouldnt be for the belt but again if Sergio agreed to it, why are fans making a big deal about it???

    If Williams is a joke then Martinez must be on as well if I went by your logic??

    I cant stand this catch weight bullcrap and fighting for the title, the last fight was at middle but no williams has to pull this rubbish, another catch weight cry baby, i hope the people who were giving out about previous catchweights are doing the same here, but i somehow doubt it
