    Margo was too big ... only 17 lbs over . Dumbass . Tell Floyd to fight someone 20 pounds bigger.

    And in your opinion, Margarito and Martinez are the same size? :huh

    Berto for sure. JMM over lightweight doesn't strike me as a dangerous fight for Pac

    JMM at 140- just like Oscar went down for Pac, because there's a difference between rehydrating to 144 and coming in at a stable unchanging muscley weight of 144 - or Berto at 147.

    Martinez would be quite the fight though.

    Braldey, JMM and Berto are all good fights, not great fights. Each bring something interesting but far from perfect.

    Bradley would be tenacious and tough but lacking the physical talent to go toe-to-toe with Pac.
    JMM has the technical skills but even at 140 people would consider Pac in great advantage. Not to mention the age.
    Berto has the speed and pop but resume leaves a lot to be desired. Bradley and JMM has a far superior resume.

    MArtinez is the best in regards to legacy but it is also borderline suicide.

    It's true.

    You have Skills, Resume, but not Youth nor Size in JMM.
    You have Skills, Youth, Size, but not a proven Resume in Berto.
    You have Skills, Youth, Resume, but no Size or strength advantages in Berto.

    Floyd is really the only prime technician actually in the welterweight division evenly matched enough in these areas to compete with Pacquiao's at the most exciting level. He is now what JMM was years ago in relation to Pac.

    No matter how many names you call me, thats still not gonna get your point across stan!:lol: They are similar in build and they neither one bigger than the other so stop ****ing crying over nothing...My point is you guys didnt ***** about Margo being too big but Martinez...Cry me a ****ing river!

    And Floyd doesnt have anything to do with this topic, stay on point and stop trying to deflect the obvious!
    I would say they're similar in size...You really cant tell the difference IMO...Plus, if they fought at 154 and Martinez can make weight in a healthy way then me pesonally, I dont see the big deal.

    Other then the fact they fight in different weight classes. And that's the main difference. Only thing is, Margarito can drop down lower then Martinez can as well. Martinez needs to sweat down to try anfd make 154. Margarito, not the same.

    You're entire premise to this is flawed because they AREN'T the same size to begin with. While Margarito was fighting at 147, Martinez was at 154. And now Martinez is the 160 champ while Margo weighed 10 pounds less in his last fight.. You can't say neither one is bigger when it's clear Martinez is bigger. You just aren't being honest here.

    I can live with that...Like I've stated if Martinez can get down to the 154 limit in a healthy way than I wouldnt mind watching the fight.

    Trust me, I do understand the point you're stressing.

    Cool, and I can concede they are close in size. :thumbsup

    But Martinez just looks bigger in the chest and shoulders then Margarito does now.

    Agree on Martinez of he could get to 154 properly, would love to see him Vs. Pac.

    To be honest if he took either of these fights i would be perfectly happy.

    These are the fights he should have taken rather than Shane.

    If Either of them looks bad in their next fights then expect pac to take one of them.

    this.

    If Pac ends up fighting Berto people will say Marquez deserves it more. If Pac fights Marquez they will say hes ducking Berto.
