Man Martinez would have a 9" reach advantage over Pac.. As much as I would like to see this fight because it's 2 of my favorite fighters, I'd really hate to see a WAAY too small Pacquiao be outboxed and possibly KO'd by Martinez. Pac is not a 154 fighter, he's barely a 147 fighter.. if you ask me his best weight would be 140.
Overrated? I think not, the man's timing and judgement on distance is very good. Look at the williams fight, he was always out of Williams line of range while still able to get into his. Punching between willies bunches of punches
Can we just get off this catchweight crap. In 10 years it will all be forgotten just like its forgotten now that Leonard fought Lamond at a catchweight, in fact one outside of the official range, allowing him to win 2 belts. Besides he's had a whopping 1 catchweight fight so far and will most likely have 1 more in November. Its not like every fight has been at a god damned catchweight.
