Will Pacquiao take on the Paul Williams vs. Sergio Martinez winner?
September 25th, 2010
By Chris Williams: On November 20th, Paul Williams (39-1, 27 KO’s) and World Boxing Council middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (45-2-2, 24 KO’s) will be going at it for Martinez’s WBC title. A week earlier, Manny Pacquiao will be fighting for his 8th world title against Antonio Margarito for the vacant WBC junior middleweight title at the Cowboys Stadium. Since few people think Pacquiao is going to be satisfied with winning his 8th world title, there’s an excellent chance that Pacquiao is going to get greedy and try to collect an unheard of 9th world title in as many divisions.
In the past, Pacquiao has opted to take on the weaker champions in many cases rather than taking on the guy perceived to be the best fighter in the division. Pacquiao did this when fighting Miguel Cotto for his WBO title rather than WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley. Pacquiao also did this when fighting WBC lightweight champion David Diaz rather than Nate Campbell. And now Pacquiao is taking on Margarito for the vacant WBC junior middleweight title rather than WBO junior middleweight title holder Sergeii Dzinziruk, who is clearly the best of the current champions in the division.
Will Pacquiao dare to fight Paul Williams or Sergio Martinez? I wish he would but I think he won’t want to risk a beating, and Arum will say no to that fight because it’s not one that Pacquiao can 100% win. There’s an excellent chance Pacquiao would lose the fight. However, against Sylvester or WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm, Pacquiao would have a much better chance of beating them, even if neither of them are popular in the United States and neither are considered to be the best in the division.
Pacquiao would have another title, but it would be similar to his win over Margarito, a paper title. I hope Pacquiao doesn’t fight Sturm or Sylvester for their titles, but I’m pretty sure either of those two will get picked by Pacquiao and Arum. He might as well just forget collecting another title if he fights either of those guys, but then again I think it’s a total waste of time for Pacquiao to be fighting Margarito, when Margarito has only had one fight at junior middleweight in the past six years and Pacquiao has had none.

hey “therealworld”, if you’re out there, read this from espn.com, “While eating, Pacquiao offers a reporter in the room a plate of food. As with almost all moves the fighter makes, this serves two purposes: It is not only the gracious gesture of a kind host, but it also keeps the reporter’s mouth too full to pester Pacquiao with questions while he consumes a massive caloric dose. Across the bed from Pacquiao sits Ariza, armed with a protein shake, monitoring Pacquiao’s progress. “He’s walking around now at 148 pounds,” said Ariza. “We do everything backwards. Manny has to gain weight to make his target weight. A normal fighter has to lose weight — but Manny isn’t a normal fighter.” remember you tried to say that Pac’s walking around weight is 150, not true, he struggles to get up to 148. all the more reason i think he’s cheating.
Keeping it real. Pacquiao can definitely beat sergio martinez and paul williams.
If Pacquiao won’t fight Yuri Foreman because he is too tall why in the world would he even think about a fight with Paul Williams? What I don’t understand is that is Mayweather us catching flack for fighting smaller guy’s why does Williams not catch any flack for trying to hang around the welter weight division and beg for fights with guy’s that are half his size? Williams and his coach/manger making the claim that Pacquiao is so much braver than Mayweather and that he would fight Williams before Mayweather would is only makes them sound desperate and dishonest, especially seeing that Pacquiao already turned down a fight with the 5’11 Foreman because of his height. By the way, Kermit Cintron was winning that fight before he went through the ropes IMHO. So Paul Williams should watch what he wishes for.
Talk sense you idiots. Pacquiao is a natural 140, theres a reason why boxing put the weight divisions to separate the size and distinguish them by their skills. How could you compare pac with Paul and Martinez right now, Pac has yet to prove if he can handle the weight at Welterweight, that’s what he’s doing now, trying to measure his skills while moving up, slowly and surely. That’s called using your brain. But for sure, if these guys have the same weight as Pac without affecting their current skills and speed they’ll be beaten by Pac easily.
LMFAO!!!!!!!! Pac take on Williams or Martinez…….LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hhahahahahahahahahahaha…………Now that’s funny! Nah, look for him to fight Chavez Jr @ 150lbs for the paper Middleweight title. LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unrealistic expectations from PACMAN leads your credibility as a writer as a joke..write something else you goose.
to the writer: are u forgetting something? up to this very moment, Pacquiao is still considered a natural 140 boxer! that’s his home & natural division! if he wanted to dominate a single division just what he did at 126 & 130, he could easily beat up every boxer in ‘d 140 ranks & still be considered as d’ #1 p4p fighter in d’ world! but no! Pac doesn’t want that. he’s been there & done that! he has nothing 2 prove anymore! at this point, he only wants to check his skills by beating bigger & stronger guys at d’ higher divisions such as d’ 147 & 154 ranks! and who knows? maybe even a 160 belt! can u imagine? a 5,6 lil filipino having 9 championship belts in 9 different weight divisions? neither s. martinez, p. williams or mayweather can do that!!!
Who know’s pacquiao will win over marinez, even until now he cant’t believe he won over the best fighter he never think he will be match up.In his mind only is just to give fans a good fights never thinking about the risk of it… a very brave man.. one factor why he is keep on winning. Now.. moment of truth…. he has nothing to loss who ever he will fight now… infact the fight is between him and margarito who are giant and yet people and expert already talking about martinez or williams, why? simple… he is UNBELIVABLE FORE OF NATURE!!!!!
NO ****** HE KNOWS HE CANT BEAT EIGHTER ONE. I THINK PAC MAN IS GREAT BUT EVERYONE HAS LIMITS. MAYWEATHER WONT FIGHT EIGTHER ONE OF THEM BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE TO FIGHT AND HE PROBABLY WOULD LOSE ALSO.
@elcondor Dude, first of all Sergio Martinez is good but he can’t beat Pacquiao. Look at Sergio’s fights he has some power, he has some speed, but when he comes in to attack that he is so defenseless, Manny Pacquiao is faster in movements and handspeed, we can’t say on power because Sergio is bigger, BUT Hatton was also bigger, Cotto was bigger and he had more power than both of them. So if Martinez fought Pacquiao, you might get upset because Pac would win.
Hey, Chris – it’s Williams who’s been salivating at a chance to fight Pacquiao. Williams needs the moolah, and he sure knows where the moolah is. Sergio hasn’t said anything about fighting PacMan, Sergio’s such a gentleman all he can say about Pac are good things. Thanks, Sergio, you’re a true-blue Latino caballero! Personally, I wouldn’t want PacMan to fight Martinez, not at the way he sent Williams to the canvass (only to lose by decision), or the way he bloodied Tony Pavlik. Sergio has a lot of punching power, and I wouldn’t want Pac to risk his neck against the Argentino. No, that’s not right, because Sergio is sure to demolish Pacquiao.
you moron.. instead of asking william or martinez, why dont you just change it to. “will pacman take on the Klitschko brothers? idoit. boxing writer….
I’m a boxing fan and Amuture Boxer 6′-225. Let’s not talk about Mayweather jr. anymore I forgot about him. When he did’nt fight Pacquiao I gave him a lost on his record. Thats why he is the old P4P champ.
@batangmindanao – He can prove it when it comes time for him to take the test. Since, he has already agreed to fully randomized OSDT, during these past negotiations, with Floyd, it should not be an issue. He can do the testing, KO Floyd, and ride off into the sunset.
Did you guys just changed the dates of this issue and comments, It seems that I already read this one long time ago, except that Maywether’s name is fading away. Those who claimed and believed that Pacquiao is on drugs, I think it is time for you to prove it, Manny will be happy if you visit him while still on training and ask him if you can sleep with him make sure that you will see all his activities and let us know you might be right. Prove it now.
@pinoypower – MOSELY? If someone else KO’s him first. MARTINEZ? NEVER. JMM? If someone else KO’s him first. BRADLEY? After he is beaten. BERTO? Same.
COTTO? Definitely. CHAVEZ? Probably. They both fight for Top Rank.
Peds will make a fighter stronger ,fcuk that give him sueity pudin champion fuel.
I tell you what makes your chin stronger sueity pudin!!
my final comments on this stupid forum are directed at anonymous and tharealworld. first to anonymous about the chin. when fighters are going against bigger punchers they bring in big punchers to spar with. this gets them used to the power they’re gonna face. using PEDs will allow a fighter to spar longer and more often with bigger punchers which will get them used to the power they’re gonna face on fight night. so while i don’t believe a fighter can go from a glass joe to a jake lamotta, i do think a fighter can improve his ability to take a shot. pacquiao was never a glass joe. and actually, tharealworld helps out my argument. he talks about dehydration having an impact on a fighter’s ability to take a shot. so this is partly because a fighter who’s dehydrated gets exhausted more easily. the exhaustion softens up a fighter and makes him more susceptible to big shots. but a fighter who’s taking EPO won’t get exhausted during a fight and therefore will be able to take more shots. so there you go, that’s how PEDs improve a fighter’s chin.
now for tharealworld, i agree, let’s introduce some logic into the debate. pac fought 8 fights at 130 for 3 years. to the best of my knowledge, it was only morales and marquez who hurt him. not barerra, not solis, not larios. if it were just the dehyrdation, then i think barerra should’ve been able to hurt him in their second fight, which was at 130, right before marquez. i’m not sure what pac’s walk-around weight is. i hear it’s 145-150, not sure if i believe it, just don’t know. i don’t know how long it’s been that way. i do know this: pacquiao had to consume around 7000 calories a day during his dlh, cotto and clottey camps to keep weight on. that doesn’t sound like the diet of someone who would struggle to make weight and be dehydrated. sounds like pacquiao actually has to work to keep the weight on. i’m just saying yo! people can disagree with me, that’s fine, i welcome it. but why do people get offended because of my opinions? do all you guys masturbate to pacquiao before you go to sleep. y’all are that in love with him that you get so angry when someone else’s got a different view.
Hell No!
Hey now, stop insulting my fellow rednecks. It doesn’t mean that if our family tree don’t have branches, you can insult us like that.
No, we don’t hate Filipinos. We love Filipino women
THESE IDIOTS THAT THINK PEDS CAN SOMEHOW MAKE YOUR CHIN STRONGER! IT MAKES ME LAUGH! HAHAHA…………
JESUS CHRIST GET EDUCATED
@ BZ
DUDE PEDS DOESNT IMPROVE UR CHIN!
@BZ – OK. How about you dehydrate yourself to 135 and we fight and lets see if you get stunned by my punches. That’s what happens when you come in alot lower than your walking around weight the way pac came in against marquez. But I guess LOGIC isn’t part of your thinking. Pathetic hypocrite.
I believe Pacquiao should fight Willams or Martinez if he gets past Margarito first. Because Margarito fought both men and stood toe to toe with Paul Willams. If your P4P great then you should take some risk to show you are the best with no question of Cherry Picking. Because at the end of his boxing life in the ring. People will question who you did’nt fight.
he wont pacman and all the filipinos a this world are cawords
ok, i’ll respond to the commenters, but not as long. my bad about that, just wanted to present all the reasons why i hold my opinion.
to floyd nuthugger: am i jealous of pacquiao? sure, but i’m probably jealous of a lot of athletes and famous people and i’m not criticizing them. i’m jealous of tiger woods, roger federer, peyton manning and lebron james. but i’m not criticizing them, i think they’re clean. i don’t think pacquiao is clean and i already gave my reasons why.
to all dope accusers: ok, let me ask you some questions. does it help a fighter to jog? does it help a fighter to lift weights? does it help a fighter to spar? i’m sure you’ll say yes to all of these questions because otherwise why the hell would anyone do them during training? ok, so PEDs allow a fighter to jog longer, lift more weights and spar harder than naturally, therefore you can train much harder. that’s how you get the advantage from doping. i don’t think anyone can really argue with that.
I challenge anyone to be on DRUGS and get into a fight and prove to the world if that really helps.
I doubt anyone could even hang with Pacquiao workout routines so they talk trash about him cause they’re JEALOUS like a BIATCH! I don’t see any success coming near these kind of people…..
@ BZ
Would you believe he’s also a Congressman? Now I ask you, what have you achieve in your whole life besides being a critic and jealous? (CRICKETS……CRICKETS….CRICKETS)
@bz
Do you think anyone wants to read a post longer than the article?
Just wright an article and submit it.
I have not red your post, nor will I.
also, i’m about to create a little controversy here, sorry to do it. i firmly believe pacquiao is cheating, there’s no question in my mind. i know, i know, i have no hard evidence, and no such evidence exists. but come on everyone! pacquiao was stunned by marquez’s punches in both fights at much lower weight, morales stung him a couple times. he was a great fighter up until march 2008. then he moves up to lightweight in june 2008 and all of sudden he’s unstoppable. it wasn’t until the cotto fight though that i became convinced of his cheating. he was simply walking through cotto’s punches, no concern at all for getting hit. the only other person who’s walked through cotto’s punches like that is margarito, and we know there’s a good chance he was cheating with the plaster. i also believe, as cotto has claimed as well, that margarito might’ve been doping for his fight with cotto. additionally, what was the big change in pacquiao’s training between his fight in march ’08 and then june ’08? the change was the introduction of alex ariza in pacquiao’s camp. and it’s the strength and fitness coaches in all sports that are notorious for introducing PEDs into an athlete’s regimen. everyone talks about roach as a genius trainer. where was his genius against marquez, both fights? how all of a sudden did roach become a genius trainer? so basically he’s only been a genius since june ’08. and then there’s news since june ’08 of pacquiao’s 4 hour training days during his 7-8 week camps. pacquiao never had a reputation for being a gym rat. he wasn’t someone who like mayweather would train all year round. instead, one of his biggest criticisms was that he’d goof off too much while not in camp, drinking and gambling. then he’d get to camp, and be exhausted after the training. now all of a sudden he can put in 4 hour days. i don’t buy it. with his reputation for not being a gym rat, i think the only way he can train for 4 hours a day during 8 week camps is if he’s using some PED, probably EPO. and yet another strange occurrence is pacquiao’s unusually rapid growth in his head/jawline. naturally, as i’ve heard from other athletes, when you move up in weight, your head size or jawline increases in size, but only slightly and proportionately. pacquiao’s head has grown disproportionately in the last 2 years. it’s enormous now. compare photos of him all of the way up until march 2008. this kind of growth is likely the result of HGH. so in my humble opinion, pac has been using HGH and EPO in the last couple of years. the HGH has helped him build the required strength to hurt and not as easily get hurt by fighters naturally bigger than he, and the EPO has helped him train like an animal in the 8 weeks before his fights, to build stamina and never tire during the 12 rounds. that’s another fact i should point out. look at how tired pacquiao looked in the 11th and 12th rounds of his fights with marquez. then look at pacquiao in the 11th and 12th rounds of his fights against cotto and clottey. pacquiao threw well over 100 punches a round against clottey, almost all of which were power punches. after the fight, it looked as though he hadn’t broken a sweat: that’s not natural in light of how tired he used get going 12 rounds. someone may say, what about mayweather, he never gets tired. 2 differences: 1) mayweather has always had a reputation for training all year round even since his amateur days so he can build the conditioning necessary to effortlessly go 12 rounds; and 2) keep in mind mayweather hardly ever throws more than 45 punches a round, sometimes a decent amount of which are jabs, and mayweather almost never throws punches in bunches. pacquiao throws punches in bunches almost non-stop. there you have it, those are all the reasons why i think pacquiao is cheating. it’s just my opinion, anyone is free to disagree. oh wait, one more thing leads me to believe it: his refusal to undergo absolute random blood tests. i know, i know, he supposedly agreed to the 14 day cutoff, well that doesn’t matter much at this point because i think what pacquiao would do if he were to ever fight mayweather is this: the 2 would sign a contract, about 5 or 6 months in advance of the contract, then pacquiao would dope for 4 months or so before the training camp, thus getting into the strength and conditioning he would need to fight mayweather, and not use anything during the training camp because he would’ve already built the stamina and power before the 8 week camp. the 14 day thing is just a smokescreen for pacquiao to make it look like it’s the drawing of blood before the fight that weakens him. really at this point what he and arum are interested in getting the agreement to fight far enough in advance so that pac can cheat before the training camps even begin. why do you think arum was so interested in this july deadline for the november fight? the reason is because 4 months would give pac 2 months to dope and not worry about the blood testing during the camp. arum made up some lame excuse about there needing to be 4 months to promote the fight properly. come on, honestly, that fight will generate the most money in history of boxing even if it were announced only 8 weeks before it was to happen. putting aside mayweather’s racist comments and his allegedly despicable illegal behavior because i don’t want people to think i’m pro-mayweather and that’s why i believe pac’s cheating: if the 2 ever get back to negotiating, if mayweather were smart he would either demand that blood testing begin as soon as the fight is announced and last until 2 weeks before the fight, or not agree to the fight earlier than 2.5 months before the date of the fight, and demand the 2 week cutoff. that way pac couldn’t dope before the camp begins and couldn’t dope during the camp either.
floyd will fight in england vs matt hatton for tune up after his so called vacation.
pac v cotto II
pac v clottey II
pac v chavez
@ PACMAN
Lets hope so. But Floyd has to agree to fight and i bet he finds another way out.
No pacman wont fight either. After this margacheato farce he will fight Cotto again in another pointless fight then retire.
Bob Arum has spoiled his career for the fans
no chance pacquiao takes on the williams-martinez winner. there are 2 main reasons. first, both williams and martinez are too dangerous for pacquiao: williams in his height, reach, and volume punching and maritnez in his slick, elusive southpaw style. the second reason, equally as important as the first, is neither williams nor martinez is a top rank stable-mate. arum would never allow pacquiao into the ring with a highly dangerous opponent who’s not in the top rank fold, unless it’s mayweather because with a mayweather fight, arum would still make his tons of money. any other non-top rank fighter fighting pacquiao, arum wouldn’t feel it’s lucrative enough for him. if arum were to put pacquiao in the ring with a middleweight, it would be someone like chavez jr., who fights for top rank. i’ll go ahead and say it right now, the only non-top rank fighter that pacquiao will fight for the rest of his career is mayweather. and i don’t believe that fight’s ever going to happen especially now in light of mayweather’s recent run in with the law.
I think Pacquiao’s management team at this point in his career are picking competitive fights that are low risk high reward fights, which they are certain he can win.
Really, you can’t fault their strategy. After all boxing besides being a sport is a business. A shady business, but one none the less.
Because of the greed of the promoters, boxing’s glory days of the best fighting the best are long gone.
Just the tittle of this article is biased. pac is a lagit juniour welter weight at max. Its amazing he has been able to go so far up in weight as it is. Pac would be totaly justified to never fight martinez or williams just because of the size difference and the author should know that.
Since Floyd seems to need a fight and is much much closer to the size of martinez and williams. Shouldnt it be Floyd who takes on the winner especialy if he doesnt take a fight against pacman?
Why not let Floyd self proclaimed ATG to fight the winner of Williams and Martinez I knew Floyd so interested to fight both, let him take that great opportunity.
That could be the fight of the year.,Paquiao and williams,I assume.
your an idiot
Cotto beat Mosely you idiot author!!! How does that make mosely the better percieved fighter?!
PAC v klitchko, because size doesn’t matter, and packman is p4p king
I don’t think he will or he should. It’s a total mismatch. Just the reach advantage alone is too great. I don’t think he can do to williams what he did to de la hoya. Williams is too fast and too busy.
Fans, let’s just accept, and get accustomed to Pacquiao being just what he is. A JOKE that chases, broken fighters that possess titles or belts that can be easily won by him to enhance his legacy as an Asian fighter.
Pacquiao will always and forever avoid the best and most talented fighters out there, chasing paper titles, and false legacies, through fights with the weak ESPN fighters elevated to PPV fights promoted by Bob Arum.
The most absurd part of this is that Arum, Roach and Pacquiao all feel that they deserve a 50% share of the revenues with a fight with Mayweather. ABSOLUTELY ABSURD!!!
Even here in the UK we know that Pacquiao is make believe and pretend when comparing him to the epite and top talent in boxing.
Why this idiots are talking about Pacquiao fighting Williams or Martinez? Pacquiao has to fight Maragarito on Nov.13. Why talked about it?
If Pacquiao does take on the winner of that fight then he will be the greatest boxer of our time, win or lose.
He will of faced everyone there is too face and taken the kind of risks that give Mayweather nightmares. I hope he does face Martinez or Williams because then the argument is over – Mayweather may be undefeated but he is NOT the greatest boxer of our time.
Martinez and Paul Williams would beat PAC at 154.
Everyone has their own opinion. right? my take is, a champion is a champion, weather WBO, WBC, WBA, and other sanctioning body. Seriously you should choose your fight and a ton of consideration along the way.
I think pacquiao is doing alot to boxing by fighting bigger guys. He is a natural lightweight fighting against Middleweights and Welterweights. And that what makes him the current pound for pound.
He is not actually being safe by choosing heavier opponents. Have you seen other on his weigh class doing the same thing? I dont think so.
He is top of the list best pound for pound boxer.
Pacquiao is a joke!! He doesn’t fight a man of his size. He only fight a man bigger than him. Started to fight at 106 lbs and now fighting at 151 lbs. What a joke!!
Pac will take on Williams at either welterweight or light middleweight. I don’t think he’ll ever have to fight Martinez or anybody for anything at middleweight. After he beats Williams he’ll retire for good.
Chris Williams and Manuel Perez are the same … PACMAN haters! Both of them or the same personality will never like Pacquiao because they are both LOSERS! Manny Pacquiao is one of the best boxers of all time. Nothing much more to say. Others will keep on getting a piece of the pie that Pacman enjoy just to get big $$$ in their pocket…nothing much more!
Manny once said:”I will fight whomever my (promoter) wants me to fight. This attitude reveals a lot of things about the man but most remarkably his courage to fight and his dedication to boxing. The very fact that he has moved from light flyweight to welterweight division tells of a fighter who dares a lot not so much to achieve recognition and attention (not Manny like) unlike others but test the limits of his boxing athleticism. Millions of $ of prize is nothing compared to realization that you can beat guys bigger and greater than you. This is the natural law of progression. Pacquiao is one of the greatest if not the greatest figure in boxing history. I don’t think S R Leonard or Robinson and the other boxing greats will have a problem about that. Ask Hearns and Haggler will just second the motion.
can pac fight a fight outside top rank and still dope and drain? NO
Pacquiao fighting Paul Williams depends upon the result of Pacquiao-Margarito fight. If Margarito will be knocked out convincingly, I will not be surprised if he agrees to fight Williams. That, if he beats Martinez considering he´s the favourite for this fight. Their fight will be a good alternative and maybe a better fight than Mayweather-Pacquiao bout. And if Pacquiao still beats Williams, that says it all, how great Pacquiao really is, unless Mayweather step up and steal away the attention from Williams chances having the spotlight.
what i heard is that he will take the KLITSCHKO brothers…. who ever is available….
why does chris williams always suggesting pacquiao figting the green or martinez…why he did’nt mention his pet,mayweather fighting these two guys…mayweather is a natural welterweight.why always pacquiao over andre berto,and other top notch middleweight.come on man…mention mayweather jr. fighting one of these guys…i beg you….
Paul Williams said it right that Floyd is not interested in fighting him coz he has no v######. He even mentioned that PAC might step up and fight him.
Just cool down, Chris. PAC has only a couple of fights to go after Margarito. If Floyd continues to duck, P Williams or S Martinez may be an option to close PAC’s stellar career.
But to be fair with PAC, it has to be at a catchweight middleweight (9th title???) or at a super welterweight. PAC is only human after all.
Choosling Cotto over Mosley was the weaker option??? Mosley’s last two fights justified PAC’s choice. Cotto has beaten Mosley at his prime and he will beat him again in his twilight years.
It hurts doesn’t it Chris?
Even GSP loves Pacquiao
What you Pacquaio haters dont get is that, Pacquaio wasn’t always getting paid like he has been. He wasnt the Cash Cow. He wasnt getting paid over $10mil a fight. He fought and displayed it on the ring. He created his own money by being the fighter that he is. He created cash for his division that he fought or fights in. So rather than these guys like Williams challenging him or Martinez or you Pacquaio haters chasing after the money, create your own money division. Start your own big money fights and division. If you’re exciting like pacquaio and displayed the types of fights and delivered like he did and does, then people will take notice. Work for it, instead of crying about it. Idiots!
20,000.000 its worth it and its not a waste of time.
The question really is “Will Floyd Mayweather fight any welterweight or any above weight at all?” Maybe he’ll challenge the best flyweight or lightweight to go up 147 lbs and beat them silly without taking random bloodtest. That’s the GREAT FLOYD for you!
roach said a while ago,size doesnt win so why not in 2011,either williams or martinez as long as the negotiations success.talent is required in boxing not totally size like in heavyweight divisions.
if they dont want 154 ! they can go to 147! and beat Pacquiao in welterweight!
What is this , Manuel Perez reincarnated in the name of Chris Williams. You both haters go f*** yourselves. Imbeciles. Pacquiao is the the best period.
Floyd did win a jr. Middleweight bout vs. Oscar De La Hoya, but that was when DLH was beaten many times already by Mosley and Trinidad
Martinez or Williams would be a great fight, but I think that might be pushing it for Pacquiao as far as weight class. One thing that the author forgets to mention is that Floyd will never fight either of these fighters either.
Pacquiao is a small welterweight, the guys ur talking about are F-ING full fledged middleweights, I’m not sure he needs to go that far, he’s already playing with fire at 147.
Yeah only if we could dream it!!!!!
If Floyd Mayweather is available after Margarito then that’s the best. That with a big “IF”. Now…..the line up opponents of Pacquiao is like a lottery. Whoever is the opponent of Pacquiao, is like winning the lottery as commented by another great boxer. Of course every boxer’s dream now is to fight Pacquiao. Floyd will wait for his chance….he is no longer the barometer of boxing skills and styles. Why can’t Chris William states that Mayweather should fight this boxer or that fighter?
Interesting..that he is stating that Pacquiao should fight this boxer or that fighter…but not for Mayweather.
i dont think he will get past marg,this article makes no sense…
k i guess Pacquiao fighting @ 160 pounds makes sense to people that wants Pacquiao murdered in the ring. He is a p4p champion not a David vs. Goliath champion. If Pacquiao beat Williams or Martinez, all the Pacquiao haters will dare him to fight the klitsko brothers. Ok i give, satisfy all your dreams and frustration. Pacquaio vs. Mosley, Williams, Martinez, and the whole green paper hungry atheletes out there. Go get Pacquiao, If Pacquiao is just a paper champ then the rest are green paper chump. Haters, all want a peice of the pie! No one in boxing in any devision can draw a money fight like Pacquiao. The klitsko brother couldn’t draw 100,000 buys on ppv if they fought each other. The Maidana vs. Khan and the Williams vs. Martinez will not draw as much as a Pacquiao fight combined. So dream on haters and the rest can wait in line.
Williams, I can’t believe how people like you can be stupid just by hating someone. Oh yeah i forgot your doing this for a living right? now it makes sense.
of course hes the best, he will fight anyone, hes not like mayweather!! fcuk miguel!!!
With good dope, he can do it.
HATERS!
neverrrrrrr he is a paper belt colector
he is a good boxer not stupid
