    He may be too small to move up to 168 he knows his body better than any of us, wasnt the Williams rematch at a catch weight?

    He is too small for 168 IMO. He weighs 158 for fights at 160. And he isn't that tall at all.

    He weighs in at 158. That's a big difference. In his last fight he was 170 at fightnight.
    Pacquiao on the other hand has weighed less than the weight-limit during fightnight.

    The guy is two fights out of Jr Middleweight guys!! He is just now growing into a full fledged Middleweight. The reason he calls out Pac is because Pac had no problem laying claim to and fighting Margarito for a 154lb title.

    Martinez WILL NOT say no to fighting pac at a catchweight around 152. It will not be the same buff Martinz we saw vs Dzinziruk but he will take the fight for the $ and then it will be up to how he handles the drop in weight.

    Ok but Pac fought Margarito who probably weighed at least 165 on fight night so it's not that far off. I'm not saying Pac is ducking if he doesn't fight Martinez so don't take it like that. But I don't happen to think Martinez is a big middleweight. In fact, I think he has a shot at 154 or a catchweight of 156. Lets just make it clear, Pac is not ducking Martinez if he doesn't choose to fight him. But it ain't just because of his size, he's a different class than Margarito and his team knows it.

    Margo is garbage, roach and arum knew that, the fight for a vacant belt was a farce, they knew it would sell well with a mexican and arum got to keep a ton of money with it being in house

    He's too small for SMW but Pac isn't too small for 160 or even 154? Martinez is simply looking for a payday. Remember when Merchant killed Hopkins(who had already cleaned out MW) for calling out JMWs? Well now Martinez is calling out WWs. I wonder if he'll face the same scorn from Merchant.

    I understand. But his fight night weight probably wasn't too far off from Sergio's and he wasn't too big. That's all I'm saying.
