    According to an interview over at the Scene, Sergio's trainer claims that Sergio wont explore 168lbs because in reality, Sergio is a blown up WW :patsch. He mentions that Sergio can make 154 with ease though and wants to target the Cotto/Margarito winner but his real focus is on landing a fight with either Floyd or Pac.

    Blown up WW??? :huh

    :patsch

    He was last at welterweight in 2001, and a WW does not enter the ring at 170lbs and up.

    If he's a blown up welterweight then what are Pac and Mayweather?!

    blown up flyweight and blown up super featherweight:p cotto is a blown up welterweight, martinez is a middleweight that can make 154 if he really has to.

    I think Floyd handles fighting at 154 a little better than Pac, but to ask either of them to move up to face him at 154 while he enters the ring at 170, then turn around and say he wont move up to 168 because he's too small is a bit hypocritical.

    I'm a fan of Martinez but this crap about him trying to make a payday off off 2 guys who are 2 weight divisions beneath him has to stop.

    Joshua Clottey used to come in about 170lb for all his fights other than Pacquiao. I agree though, he's only doing what Hopkins did mind you. He's in the unlucky position of having no opponents of name value in his division. Even though he'd have an unfair advantage against both, history would forget that. As a fan I'd rather see him destroy Chavez jr and then clean up at middle.

    Of course he is.

    We all know that.

    But Mayweather fans (and perhaps even some Pac fans) are scared to death to admit this...

    Because it would mean their idols may have to fight Martinez.... :|:|:|:|:|

    I wouldn’t take those comments too seriously. He’s just campaigning for a fight with Pac/May. If Sergio was indeed a welterweight, then they would have had no problem in complying with Roach’s demand of coming down to 147 to figh Pacquiao. The fact is, Sergio has grown into a normal, strong middleweight now. He puts on approximate 8 pounds after a weigh-in, climbing into the ring as a super middleweight on fight night. That doesn't sound like welterweight, or a light middleweight to me.

    Great. He should drag his ass back down to WW then instead of calling the two top names up if he's a blown up welter.
