    "If"..."If my aunt had nuts, she'd be my uncle". Bottom line if Manny wanted it, he could come get it. He knows Sergio would beat his ****ing ass and in turn doesn't want any, no big deal to me, I respect him recognizing that. What I don't get, is what the **** are you talking about?

    If Pac is really several levels above Martinez, wouldn't that neutrilize the size advantage.(see Jones/Ruiz):think

    Even though Pac is several levels above Martinez, the gap in ability between RJJ and Ruiz was even more. Ruiz was a really shitty HW champion. Had RJJ and Ruiz been the same size RJJ would've stopped him in less than 5 rounds instead of winning by 6 points, so that shows you the size advantage is very real

    I'm talking about Pacquiao, the p4p king, fighter of the decade, 8 division world champ, won a lineal title at 19 years old, knocked out Barrera and MOrales, went toe to toe with Juan Manuel Marquez for 24 rounds, moved from 135 to 147 to retire Oscar de la Hoya, made Miguel Cotto his *****, turned Margarito into a bloodied David Suzuki.

    Compared to Sergio Martinez, who has had two title fights in his entire career.

    There's always Paul Williams. I would pay money to see Manny take on Paul.

    Arum would rather sacrifice Manny to some pagan idol before dealing with Al Haymen, the REAL reason Pdub doesn't get the fights he deserves. FFS he got a bigger share than Sergio to fight for Sergio's title because he got a gift decision the first time around? Also the guy that represents Floyd, right????

    So what's greater, Pac's skills or Martinez's size advantage?

    20 pounds minimum weight difference on fight night. What do you think?

    hey man I would love to see it. Like I said I think Pac beats him anyways, but at 160 he would go through hell and of course big chance of losing, maybe getting stopped. I think 154, Martinez will struggle to make weight, and Pac will beat him by a margin in a slightly more boring than expected fight.

    So the man says he believes Manny would beat Sergio and is levels above him, yet that he's too big to fight him? And you can't wrap your mind around me questioning that. Cool Story bro...

    IMO Pac's skills would allow him to neutralize the size difference and make it a close exciting fight.
