look at the size difference between Margarito and Pac, if you think Martinez is only the same size as Margarito that is still a huge huge advantage v Pacman.
did Pacquiao make 154 last time or was he 7/8lbs under?
answered my own question.
Where do i say Pacquiao or Mayweather is obliged to fight Martinez?
Martinez is too good of a big guy, that's all there is to it. Manny/Floyd can fight bigger guys as long as they know their opponent can't deal with their skills.
If you want to call yourself the WBC 154lbs champ however, i find it odd that you won't fight the rightful owner to the said title in said weightclass.
I don't think Manny should fight Martinez. I think that would be an extremely poor decision (so would it be for Mayweather).

above is the reason asking to see Pacman v Martinez is ******ed and saying Pacman has no balls for taking such a fight on is a joke.
I didn't say Pacman had no balls. Hes a very brave fighter. (fwiw, i think it would be equally "******ed" to think that Mayweather would fight Martinez)
He just does not dare to fight Martinez. Probably a wise choice since i think he would be knocked out.
Both Floyd and Manny have a lot to lose against Martinez. Their status, and possibly their massappeal when it comes to ppv-buys.
Question. Would anyone here consider Martinez the P4P #1 if he beat the super6 winner? (scenario includes Mayweather-Pacquiao not happening)
