yeah, he ain't no Duran because Duran when fighting at middleweight also weighs a middleweight and not 148 lbs. Manny fighting someone who outweighs him by 17 lbs is dangerous but he still took the risk (still haters gives him no credit for that) and dominate but feels the effect of being punched by a super middleweight, so the man knows his limit. IF Pacquiao should fight Martinez, i hope it'll be his last fight and then retire, the man has given us great fights and it's not nice to see him end up damaged just to pleased the people who wants him get beaten.
how time change. not long ago, a Pac fan stating potential match up against the like of Hatton, Hoya, Cotto, would be ridiculed to no end. thats how "*******" was coined. now a days, haters are the one doing it. just wondering who the real *******s are.
The only double standard is that Pac fans can, in the same breath tout his status as a conqueror of weigh classes, and at the same time say he's too small to fight a guy at a weight class he's held a world title in. If Pac is too small to fight Martinez at 154, then in my book he's a 7 weight world champ.
