    It's not like sort of thing is completely unprecedented. Think of Roy Jones Jr. beating John Ruiz with a 30 lb weight handicap.

    yeah must me. how can a former 112 pound WBC Champ turn down a fight against the WBC 160 pound champ? sounds like a coward to me

    Mayweather and Pac are the same size, when Pac and Floyd were 16 they were both 106 only differenceis Floy was an amateur idk why people dont understand this. With that said they shouls not go up to 160 for Martinez

    Pac is a little guy. a small welterweight. no way should he fight at 160. although he could possibly beat an older Sergio and he already beat Cotto.

    I just don't like it. It would be like Cotto moving up to pick an easy belt with Yuri or Pac getting a easy belt against Margaritto. This would be no better than Floyds cherrypicking.

    Pac vs Floyd. the only fight that makes sense. biggest money fight out there. the #1 and #2 fighters of the past ten years. they are int he same division. no reason for these two to keep jumping weightclasses until they clean up the welterweight division.

    Floyd was 130 at 19. Pac was 112. I understand that Pac cut weight at 112 but as he cutting 18 lbs?

    Pac said that Margarito hurt him and suggested that he would not be fighting above welter again.

    idiot. pac was barely 100lbs (98 lbs to be exact , iirc) on his first profight.

    98lbs vs. 106 lbs, thats 2-3 weight classes weight diff in the lower weights.

    pedjr said it himself, he is the naturally bigger guy against madona.

    stop spreading fud ******.:hi:

    Exactly what I was gonna say. It would be a hell of an achievement, but, I can't see it happening.

    Void refused to fight Martinez at 154 or even at 150. Void refused to fight Golovkin at 154, he also refuses to fight Pac, Void is void................however, Void should fight a rematch with the woman he beat up, although Void would insist on being bare knuckled, while requiring the woman to wear 24oz. gloves............
