    Manny has express interest in fighting Martinez's 160 title at a catch weight of possibly 150-154. Do the fans want to see it or approve of it? 9th division! although not really but if it can be done obviously.

    *9th division

    You gotta have the asterik in front of that

    *various titles were fought at weights below the limit to weaken opposing fighters along with some titles not actually being legit titles.

    As a die hard pacman fan I would say fighting Martinez at 160 is way way to big. Manny would have to give up allmost 25-30 pounds is suicide no matter how great pacquiao is.. Size does matter in boxing..

    the weight difference way to big it would be like if Martinez fought a light heavy weight.

    Then dont fight for the ****ing title. Its simple as that. Make it a nontitle fight and then no one will have a problem with it. But when you are trying to achieve history you cant do cheat to get it.

    i agree that martinez is too big for pac but then again so was margarito. However Martinez does have more skill of course but if margarito is not too big for pac then why would martinez? Margarito have a bigger frame and height than Martinez but he have zero fat going into pac and had nothing to lose weight wise so he prolly didn't eat for two days or shower or drink much water. Martinez will be slightly better off in terms of killing himself to make weight bc he haven't left 154 for that long.

    how weakened with losing weight will they try to get Martinez to fight Manny? This is why this catchweight stuff has to stop when fighting for titles. Regular fights who cares, but for titles it shouldn't happen.

    knowing manny he would prolly go for the *9th to secure his legacy even further but the catch weight is quite bull.

    floyd is completely left out of the loop from martinez's camp. I guess they assume that floyd is going to be in court for a while or floyd would not agree of course.

    Thank you finally some sense. People think im hating but its sickening to watch all these title fights at different weights. If they want to make a non title fight then go for it at whatever weight you want.
