I wouldn't be surprised to see Pac fight Williams after Margo.

    Dammit I was just thinking that. Still, he would get more of my credit fighting Williams.

    They will tell PW to come down to 144 to make the fight ...Sorry Fight is not going to happen and why are we talking about a fight that's not going to happen..Pac has his hands Full ,as I've said before one punch by Margo could send Pac into retirement and make him a full time Congressman.

    Yep... that's what we used to say about Pac v. Hatton, Clottey, Margo, Cotto etc and et al.

    When are you gonna learn? Pac is not Floyd. He takes those risks.

    If Pac managed to beat one of those guys at a catchweight of 155, the win wouldn't be tainted at all in my eyes because Williams and Martinez are probably better suited to that weight. I'd only have a problem with the Middleweight title being on the line - I think a champion should be entitled to weigh-in at the division limit. I'm not bothered with the catch-weight in the Marg fight because it's for a paper title that's completely worthless.

    Williams is to big for Pac, i was mad keen on Hatton giving Pac a beating based on Ricky being the bigger man. Pac would need a ****in step ladder for PW.

    PW is the fighter that can make the 150lb catchweight that Pac wants, and Martinez can't, so it's a possibility. I don't see Pac fighting Williams at all for three reasons though:

    1. Martinez most likely beats PW.
    2. Too big of a size disadvantage for Pac against PW.
    3. If the Mayweather fight doesn't happen, Pac will most likely fight Chavez Jr.

    I tell you what, if Pac fights Martinez for the 160 crown, I will bow down to him win or lose.

    No way Pac is going up to 157, against PW or Martinez. For Chavez Jr., Maybe.

    I really can't see Pac taking this fight at 147 or higher. Williams may not fight big, but with a 7.5in height and 15in reach advantage PW would have to fight very stupid to lose. PW isn't Margo and Pac would be in big trouble in this fight. Not quite Hearns-Duran but somewhere on that spectrum.

    Now against a horribly weight-drained, catchweighted PW Pac has a chance.

    I don't know, getting past Magarito isn't a gimme for Pacquiao at this point.

    PacMan is first and foremost not a welterweight, and he's going up against an extremely tough Mexican who uses his sheer size to wear down opponents, and he usually succeeds except against Mosley and Williams, guys big enough to fight at least a division higher than '47.

    It's looking to be a case of bad matchmaking at this point. If Pacquiao wins, Margarito is a spent bullet. If Pacquiao loses, imagine the backlash for the guy. Only Arum wins 100%, as usual.

    ONe thing is for sure, I'd expect to see Pac take that fight before Floyd would even consider it. Actually, we know he wouldn't ever.

    Sure it will be at 150 for the middleweight championship.
    The cheery picker won't fight Williams.

    Pac only fights Top Rank or Golden Boy fighters these days so he'll never fight Williams (even though he would beat him).
