Look for Pacquiao to avoid Sergio Martinez and fight Mosley instead
November 21st, 2010
Photo Naoki Fukuda: By Dave Lahr: Last night, we saw pure brilliance from World Boxing Council (WBC) middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (46-2-2, 25 KO’s) successfully defended his title with a 2nd round KO of Paul Williams (39-2, 27 KO’s) in front of a packed Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City New Jersey. Martinez turned what was supposed to have been a closely contested fight into a wipeout when he brained Williams with a tremendous left hand that left Williams old cold and face down on the canvas in the 2nd round.
The win cemented Martinez’s claim to be the best in the middleweight division. Martinez has only been fighting at middleweight since April, when he defeated WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik by a 12 round decision.
At the time of Martinez’s victory, Pavlik was considered to be the best in the middleweight division. Before that fight, Martinez was already considered to be the top dog in the junior middleweight division, where he held the WBC title. After beating Pavlik, Martinez was forced to decide whether to keep the junior middleweight or the middleweight straps. Martinez opted to hold onto the middleweight titles. However, he’s still quite capable of moving back down to junior middleweight to fight someone like WBC junior middleweight champion Manny Pacquiao.
But now that Pacquiao is the champion, he should be able to fight Sergio Martinez using one of his catch weights to give him a handicap. I don’t see why 150 pounds shouldn’t be a good catch weight for a bout between Pacquiao and Martinez. If it’s good enough for a bout against Margarito, then it should be more than good enough for a fight against Martinez, right? Or does Arum not want to put Pacquiao in with Martinez? Pacquiao will probably be put in with Shane Mosley next, and Martinez will be avoided like the plague. Unlike Margarito, Martinez isn’t struggling and hasn’t been beaten recently.
Martinez is fighting well and looking sensational. For that reason, I don’t see Pacquiao being matched against Martinez. A lot of Pacquiao’s recent opponents have taken losses or serious beat downs right before he fought them. Martinez isn’t struggling, so I don’t see him getting selected to fight Pacquiao. Margarito had been beaten just last year by Mosley, and looked horrible in his win over fringe contender Roberto Garcia this year.
Other Pacquiao opponents like Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Oscar De La Hoya and Joshua Clottey had either been beaten recently or were showing serious signs of decline at the time that he fought them. But Sergio Martinez is fighting really well at this time. I think Pacquiao will be put in with Mosley, who fighting well at this time. Mosley was beaten badly by Floyd Mayweather Jr. earlier this year in May, and recently Mosley fought to a controversial 12 round draw with Sergio Mora in September. Mosley is clearly struggling and more than a few boxing fans think he’s shot. I think it’s safe to say that Mosley will get the fight with Pacquiao and not Martinez. I hope I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure that I’ll be right about this.

Manny indeed said he would like to fight Martinez, it’s a straight forward answer.
But when Martinez were asked that question, guess what he’s response was..he sounds like Floyd..” I need to hear what the offer first “….sounds like scared to me!
Martinez knows that any boxer who speaks Spanish is in danger when they face THE KING PACQUIAO!
It is alot easier to be a fan than the fighter in world class fights.At Mosely,s age he just got exhausted from spending himself against the best in the division.He is older and heavier than usual,so it is a no brainer he will tire easy,er.he wobbled Floyd good.
Martinez already said that he can’t go down below 156, and Pac can’t even get to 150, so no one’s avoiding anyone here. Meanwhile, Floyd wants to fight Martinez, so we should expect to hear from Floyd about his bout with Martinez. March 2011 would be great!
Shouldn’t this article be titled “Look for Mayweather to avoid Sergio Martinez and go to jail instead”?
After Pacquiao’s demolition of Margarito, the Pacquiao team already stated that they’ve had enough of moving up in weight and would like to stay at welterweight. Meanwhile, prior to this bout, Mayweather said that he’d like to fight the winner of Martinez-Williams. I’ve yet to read an article here calling out Floyd to fight Martinez who just punished an African-American boxer.
Avoiding Martinez eh? Gee, Lahr, maybe Pacman should stop avoiding Bute, Pavlik, Glenn Johnson, Marco Huck, BHop, the Klits, the Atlanta Falcons and King Kong too? Geez man, enough with the retarded Pac-hating. Get a f#%$ing life.
DAVE LAHR, YOU REALLY HATE PAC DON’T YOU?…ARE YOU AWARE THAT LOVE AND HATE ARE THE CLOSEST FEELINGS, AS FAR AS HUMAN EMOTION IS CONCERNED?? IN DEEPER HUMAN UNDERSTANDING YOU COULD HAVE THAT BURNING SENSATION OF PASSION FOR PAC’S MASCULINITY DEEP IN YOU..ACCORDING TO PHYSICS..
Theres basically no one else besides Mayweather that pacman can fight.. “Catch Weight” match ups just prove theres no one for Manny to fight.. Everyone can push Manny to keep on fighting these much bigger guys until he finally loses, but what is that gonna prove?
Don’t worry Dave, Pacquiao will consider giving Sergio Martinez
priority consideration as one of his probable opponent next year. But have your boyfriend, Floyd the COWARD Mayweather consider Martinez as one of his opponent next year? I don’t think so. He’ll avoid Martinez for sure with his now famous hulabaloo demands just to avoid a fight with Mafrtinez and Pacquiao. Dave just continue to be a big liar, it suit you.
WAIT! MAYWEATHER ALREADY CALLED OUT THE WINNER OF MARTINEZ-WILLIAMS WINNER! WE SHOULD HAVE A GREAT MARCH 2011 FIGHT. MARTINEZ VS MAYWEATHER FTW!
@Dave Liar..how about putting them all together, just like WWE back then…all loosers…Hatton, Dela Hoya, Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, Diaz, Marguez, Barrera, Morales.
Put then all in one ring together….Last Man Standing wins ANOTHER SHOT AT ” THE KING PACQUIAO ! “
Sorry Martinez…if any boxer who speaks spanish,,,you need to think it 100 times on fighting Pac. But if want to retire early, Pac would not mind signing it for you!
And you cannot fight Mayweather also, Mayweather Sr. just added you to his list that needs olympic style test before you can get his daughter..ahermmm Jr. I mean.
I like how all these pactards are trying to defend pac when the fact of the matter is that Mayweather beat Mosley now Arum and friends are taking sloppy seconds yet again! YES AGAIN YALL KNOW ITS TRUE.
Why cant pac fight someone thats on a winning streak just like he is and not shot aready and legit in the proper wieght class?
OH and hell yea pac will gladley fight JJM cus now he can bump up the fight to 147 on purpose so JJM can struggle with wieght and be real slow like the Mayweather fight. OH and that will be another sloppy seconds fight too.
Oooh Dave. Here we go again…before it was ” Pacquiao should fight Mosley” but after the loss to Floyd, it was “Pacman should fight Paul Williams”, and now after Williams was KO’d by Sergio…”Pacman should fight Martinez”……Dave’s obsession of seeing Pacman’s match will never ever end.
LAHR, NEXT THING YOU WILL HAVE PAQ. DUCKING THE K- BROS. YOU SUCK
@rar.ck
@ PACQUIAO CAN BEAT MARTINEZ AT 156
You wanna prove me wrong ?
Then just take test. I will become a fan if he does.
jesus christ
so much hate for pacman. its unbelievable!
you guys seriously calling pac out to fight martinez?! get the f**k outta here!
little pacman that should be in at 140lbs while that true primadonna mayweather does f’all!
all you haters said he wouldnt fight mosley, will it looks like hes gonna. oh wait on, mosley
‘s now to old right? wasnt to old for floyd!
this 0g kush is the shytnez
sit back,bl0win in the wind,0nce again at it again,time and time again
Oh yeah, here is a Pactard saying the Pacman has problems with cacthweights. He can’t make weight but he surely can pump his midget body with HGH’s and blow his opponents away.
c0tt0 had the 0ther juni0r midleweight belt and recently pac had the 0ther,s0 there u g0 f0lks its just my 0pini0n
david lahr, just shut da f*%k up,always putting down manny(the man that saves boxing)whenever you wrie an article,he doesnt need to fight@154 already.do you even realize that his only 5’6″, & accomplished so much for boxing.how about mayweather,all he does is make boxing look bad, but you @ssholes praise dat MUTHA_F*#K#R.Can’t stand it cause never in the history of boxing that an asian this great dominates the sport,just because i’m half filipino has nothing to do with why i like pacquiao its because of his accomplishment in & out of the ring.
theyll pr0bably match pac agaisnt cotto t0 unify the the jm title and a reas0n t0 depend the jm title f0r b0th
Manny will avoid this guy like the plague. On a winning streak, and fighte rof the year! I bet Manny will look for a deal with Williams next. Such a prima.
Floyd Mayweather VS Matthew Hatton is currently under negotiations.
come on guys, before you post anything make sure you keep up with boxing news. martinez just came out and said he doesn’t want to fight manny because of the size difference. he said it would be too much of a disadvantage. how can people even expect manny to fight martinez when he weighed in at 144 in his last fight and the catchweight was at 150. people keep giving manny such a hard time with his catchweights, its because he cant physically make those weights. i guess it would only be fair if margarito came in 50 pounds over instead of 17. people here are stupid.
why don’t u give what mayweather had asked that he’ll fight the winner of Williams or Martinez, Its obviously that Pacman doesnt go to fight in that class no more, why u keep push Pacman to fight those too big guy, why dont u let Mayweather to fight them? LOL…..I wonder if ur Master mayweather fight Martinez, what would hapen to him? hospitalized immediatly
LOL…..
i prefer to see Pac vs berto, it would be interesting…
floyd or manny cannot claim to be #1 unless they start taking on more meaningful fights. so far manny has only faced fighters that were Kod or beaten brutally in a fight previous to facing manny and at catch weights that is hardly a challenge. you face the best at their best where both have a 50/50 chance of winning. thats a challnege and shows what a True Champ is made. people get carried away when they see a fighter like manny and they want to believe but we know that is just clever matchmaking and the truth would be known. you cannot claim to be #1 until you start performing like martinez take on the best in div at their best forget all that Time Mag, 60 min it’s just Hype. Martinez works hard and Deserves Fighter of The Year
Yes I have to agree and I can say I told you so, you can look at my posts during the manny vs margarito fight. I said that the true jr MiddW Champ was Martinez but he was robbed twice badly despite KOing Kermit Frog cintron he outboxed him after, he then beat williams. we all knew who the best fighter in div was maybe best as of now. I’d have to put Sergio at top cause way he performs he takes little damage in big fights and unleashes fury. I like Manny and have to put him 2nd but you got that right sergio is beating the higher caliber fighters at their best. floyd is fading more and more inactivity has taken a toll.his time is over which is why a fight with manny makes sense now more than ever.
Berto is waiting….. pac do not want no part of Berto or martinez. Berto will KO pac with that deadly right uppercut. Forget Shane, Floyd took what little shane had left. BERTO is waiting pac.
I find it funny that Lahr is now campaigning for a Pacquiao-Martinez fight, instead of pushing his boy Floyd into the ring with Pac. What’s wrong, Lahr? Have you finally seen a perfect excuse for Floyd never to fight Pacquiao, by dangling Martinez in front of him?!
i can tell you winner of pacman v martinez, simple if dave picks pacman put your mortgage on martinez, if dave picks martinez put your mortgage on pacman, hes never right so your gauranteed to win, if hes says by ko put your money on it going the distance
since pac wont test he will be forced to move up to face the no. 1 champion with a belt wait and see
look for floyd to take on martinez
Eitherway Pac gets a huge payday. Sergio should call out Pac if he wants a piece of him.
But it seems he wants Mayweather first and sadly that’ll be when Floydie doodle will be ready in 2020.
gotta run man, talk wit ya next time
mayweather was an animal at 140lbs and below. thats where his best performances were for me and thats where i rate him as an all time great.
the money was their for him to fight margarito when tony was seen as a killer, cotto was also there. de la hoya was willing to take a rematch at 147lbs but floyd walked away…
@ Pound4Pound
i just havent been that impressed with floyd since he moved up to 147lbs. the stable of guys hes fought havent been of the calibre to propell him into the hall of fame.
the likes of mitchel,baldomir, judah, gatti etc…marquez came up to weight classes, hatton came up one weight class and never looked good at 147lbs. for me mosley has been shot for a while, and had one last hurrah against margarito, who as it plays out had plenty on his mind whilst getting snapped for illegal wraps.
it’ll be pacquiao vs williams at a catchweight of 150 lbs.
all the time you are talking or writing bull ssssssssssssssssst.
You hope you’re wrong? Mr. Dave Liar do I have to remind you that YOU WERE NEVER RIGHT?
iceman
at least you can argue with some sense unlike anonymous
i would like to see khan beat maidana then the winner of bradley and alexander then mayweather that is why i said down the line. but maybe you cant read that well.
@ Pound4Pound
yeah your right, floyd did only weigh in at 150lb against oscar, but i think that may have been more strategy than anything. i could be wrong but i dont think floyd would have much trouble making 154lbs.
i agree with you about khan though. i’ve suggested it before and got payed out for it. but just as you said i think floyd would struggle with khans reach and razor sharpe jab in his face all night. and under freddie roach i think he can climb to the next level. his chin is still in question, but if he gets past maidana and looks good, he could well get floyd next up. who else is therefor floyd?
i dont think mayweather will seek a fight with martinez because it will not be fair to martinez because he will be drained and weak to make the catch weight and mayweather doesnt make his opponents come down in weight unlike pac. then floyd will be criticized as pac for draining his opponents but then again martinez is at least a true title holder who hasnt received a beat down recently and is fast and is at the top of his weight class ?? hmmmm…
sounds like a type of boxer pacquiao has never faced.
floyd stinks the joint out! everybody knows it! as talented a boxer as he is he is boring to watch. hes an entertainer outside of the ring to compensate for his style. truth hurts
anonymous
your not saying anything intelligent your not worth talking to.
i just thought you could come up with something better than your previous post.
i thought wrong.
hey anonymous
styles makes fights
learn about boxing rather than blindly loving a fighter over another
Just wanna tell folks, not all posts under my name are mine.
somebody’s been getting a woody using my name. LOL.
ILL
i dont believe pac is going to beat mayweather but still like to watch his fights he is an exiting boxer and a good person.
iceman
mayweather has only fought up to 150lbs that is all he could climb to get close to the 154 lb de la hoya.
this is why i said it would not be a good idea for him to move up to fight him in a catch weight.
martinez is too big for pac and mayweather but i do believe mayweather can outclass him.
and the only one i can see giving mayweather a good fight down the line is amir khan because of his boxing style long range jabbing and very quick.
that’s my take.
wa-il_he wont untill he stops softening opponents by dehydrating them before the fight then he will be respected…
Dear Mr. Dave Lahr:
I am fairly new to this site but it seems all the blogs you pen are anti Pacquiao. WHY? Anyone who remotely enjoys boxing appreciates Pacquiao’s talent, but not you…WHY? Pacquiao is always in shape, throws lots of punches, and is carrying boxing during a time when elite fighters only fight once a year (Pacman fights 2 or 3 times a yr). Pacquiao is boxing’s clear cut ambassador. As talented as Mayweather is he only fights once a year, is in trouble with the law, and only throws 30 to 40 punches a round, and holds his opponents for most of each round. Yet no critique of him, hmmm.
Perhaps you were beat up by Filipino bullies or betrayed by a Filipino lover…I don’t know what your deal is Mr. Lahr but therapy does wonders! As a long time boxing fan I look forward to two things in the coming year: (1) Pacquiao, Mayweather fight and (2) your critique of Pacquiao after he beats Mayweather. Happy Holidays Gents/Gals.
What a moron. Can you at least write with some intelligence?
Somebody help me! I’m stuck on Floyd’s nuts, can’t budge I think his pubic hair got jammed on ma teeth!
listern guys. pacquiao and martinez wont fight because it is just inconceivable. martinez is the man, but hes a middleweight 160lbs with can cut to 154lbs. Pacquiao is a 140lb fighter that cant even make 150lbs. we know this.
it would be a disrespect to martinez to drop to 150lbs and likewise to pac to try to climb to 154lbs. it just isnt gonna happen guys and it aint a duck on either side. you’ve just gotta respect it for what it is.
However, mayweather could fight martinez at 154lbs, we know this because thats where he fought oscar at. floyd is only 2 inches shorter than martinez to. that would be a great fight and one that if floyd took would gain him huge props and in my view put him well and truely in the all time greats. victory or no victory.
but it dont think it’ll happen, martinez is dangerous bigger guy and is a southpaw. floyd wont touch him. which then brings me to my next point. who is there left for floyd to fight apart from pacquiao? floyd would be far to quick for berto, forget bradley & alexander. maybe amir khan? i dont know.
I think it is not a good idea for pac or mayweather to fight martinez or anyone in the 160lbs.
pac will not be able to handle someone with some speed and someone in the top ten rankings in 160lbs.
mayweather has a better chance but i wouldnt recommend it because he like pacquiao has gone up in weight several times and are at their peak.
the only exception is that mayweather didnt cripple his opponents while he moved up he always weighed less than his opponent the day of the fight regardless if he moved up to face the bigger man he didnt rely on catch weights to weaken them he made sure he and his opponent weighed the same the day before even if he couldnt gain too much the next day. now that sounds like a true champ to me.
example:
mayweather 136 1/2 vs corrales 146
mayweather 138 Castillo 147
Mayweather 146 judah 150
mayweather 149 vs baldomir 162
Mayweather 150 vs de la hoya 154
write all of this down and do your homework
HEY MAN THEY BOTH ARE IN DIFFERENT WEIGHT CLASS…YOU KNOW WHAT LETS ASK SERGIO TO COME TO WELTER WEIGHT SO HE CAN FIGHT PACMAN….LOL….HE OBVIOUSLY WON’T…SO WHY SHOULD PACMAN GO UP IN WEIGHT….PAC MAN PROVED THAT HE IS THE BEST…AND DIDN’T MARGARITO BEAT MARTINEZ BEFORE
margo was at 165 when he stepped into the ring
Manny made it clear to go back to 147lb-division right after his fight with Margarito…Martinez opted to stay at Middleweight as this is his natural weight just as Manny is at welterweight. I don’t think the fight could ever happen due the big weight difference between the 2…But Floyd says he wants to take on the winner of the two since he also is a natural light middleweight.,at least they can meet in between at a catchweight say 156 lbs..so why don’t press Floyd to take on Martinez? Oh by the way, the punch, that overhand left that put Paul on the canvass and motionless for a few seconds is the same punch Manny gave to Hatton during their bout with strangely the same effect! To the canvass and motionless for a few seconds!
i dislike midget but to want him fight the middleweights is totally nonsense he may end up hurt baddly….
Pacquiao 144lbs – Martinez 160lbs…Enough said. Martinez must be jealous of Margarito 6 million paycheck. If Martinez wants a big pay day, he’ll drop to 150 lbs for a fight…
I love boys!!!
how many columns does pac make in a year? you sound like a loser in your article
Pacquiao is already a dwarf at 147, and you want him to fight the best 160lb fighter on the planet ?
Yeah, he surely “avoids” him, just as he “avoids” to fight Wladimir Klitschko for the real p4p #1 spot …
poor guys (from press) you will have noone in boxing to write/talk about when pac retires…wait another 80 years maybe
Seriously do these Mayweather Jr nuthuggers dismissed Mayweather Jr. unanimous victory win against Shane Mosley because of Mosley’s age or also discredit Mayweather Jr. unanimous decision win against Juan Manuel Marquez that had to fight 2 weight divisions higher for the first time in order to fight Mayweather Jr. Yeah I thought so. These so called writers are a disgrace to the industry. Get a real job.
EVERYONE listen to Floyd Mayweather Sr. say he is “SCARED FOR HIS SON’S LIFE” against Manny Pacquiao in this youtube video here…….…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In16MLvfC8U
Pacquiao already said he was going back down to welter weight becuase he could not even make 150 lbs without loseing his speed.Only an idiot wants Pacquiao to fight a middle weight(that will be nine weight classes he has gone up if he did) and fight the middle weight champion who walks around at 185lbs and on fight night weighs about 170lbs.IT is obvious that Lahr wants Pacquiao to match with bigger and bigger opponents until he gets beat.Pacquiao is barely 5ft 6in. and weighs around 148 lbs walk around weight.geeez some people are complete morons.
look for Geyweather to avoid Pacman and fight a women instead
I don’t know if you’re deaf or stupid but Pacquiao never chooses or avoids his opponents as he always say in his interviews he’ll fight anyone his promoter matches.
Good Point RED… People don’t realize how small Pacquiao and even Mayweather are.. And they want to match them up with bigger fighters… Pacquiao said it himself, He was lucky to win the fight against margarito because he was so strong.. Thats hes way of saying this guy was big. The reason he beat margarito so bad, margarito has no boxing skill at all, he just all heart. Martinez would be a different story, boxing skills like crazy, and big..
Manny vs. Mosley great fight.
Pacquiao will fight them both.
the mail man is next fight for me. no catchwights no holds bar just pure face poking PPV for $69.99.
Floyd said recently that he is interested in fighting the winner of the P Williams/S Martinez fight.
WELL FLOYDIE, Sergio has emerged as the winner. WHEN CAN WE HEAR FROM YOU, FLOYDIE BOY???? or were you just misquoted at that time just like the NO Negotiation saga.
COME OUT COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE….. SERGIO AND PAC IS WAITING
WOW, all of a sudden, Catchweights fights have been accepted wholeheartedly by Dave Liar. He wants PAC to fight Sergio at a catchweight of 150 lbs. Unbelievable turnaround of sentiments.
So Dave now realise the reason for catchweight fights. GOOD ON YA DAVE.
Sucker… Its not like playing hoops in your backyard… Floyd has never said he wants to fight thw winner… If you can find a quote that has mayeather saying that ill give u a $100… Tell pac to take the test not up to 7 days and then he will fight him…
I love how arum claimed he conceded to all mayweathers demands when he didnt… This is where mayweathers ahole personna is going to hurt him
Mosley,Marquez…Floyd alright beat them all over the place…..Hatton,De la Hoya….beat them at maxium weight.Mayweather isn’t lining up for nobody because he doesn’t have to.As far as Bradly,Alexander,Khan,Berto and whoever else i’m forgetting Mayweather would and will fight them if the box office is right and beat them because he’s the best BOXER in the world and that goes for Manny as well but like I said he wont fight Mayweather because it would be a level playing feild and Manny is a fraud and a con artist selling himself as the best pound for pound when he’s always fought big names guys at such a disadvantage for his oppent and when he did fight someone who is a big name on a level playing feild(Marquez) he lost both times.
Now pac knows what mayweather went through… God forbid he doesnt fight one he will be called a ducker forever…
Manny cannot fight martinez. Martinez is different from margarito… He is not a straight forward fighter, he is a counter puncher… Margarito is a lot easier to hit and much much slower and not accurate. Martinez is faster, stronger, and has just as good a chin as margarito and manny was beaten up pretty good against margarito… Mayweather shouldnt move up either. If he fights him it should be at 154 the same as pacman…
I don’t get how people say martinez is too big for manny when he is an in shorter than margarito and and mosley (which they keep naming as a next opponent
uhhhh…..I’m so sick of Pacquiao.He’s such a fraud of course he’ll fight Mosley he’s a shot fighter why not easy money.But like I said Pacquiao is a phoney he’s a sound called 8 divsion champion who’s won titles and phantom weights of 144 and 150…what a joke.In his last fight he had no busniess fight for a belt and most of the titles he’s won are nothing but paper titles.Arum and Roach set up these fights at these weights putting his oppents at a major power disadvantage killing themselves to make weight and they dont want a real test where everything is on the level with a guy like Mayweather and the whole reason for him not taking olympic style drug testing makes no scence to me at all.Who in their right mind would not take a 50 million dollar drug test…Pacman is so over rated
you said he should fight a black boxer and now your talking latino.
Amazing that people like Lahr, who struggle putting a coherent sentence together, can pop up on a Google search. Actually Lahr, Martinez lost recently, or do you not consider last year as recent? You also make retarded predictions, after retarded prediction, have you ever guessed a fight correctly in your entire life? These Pacquiao haters, are absolutely retarded, any other fighter giving up close to 20 lbs and they would probably protest that fight, but they ironically praise Pacman because they want him to lose so badly, they acknowledge how great he is by trying to pit him with bigger and bigger opponents.
when manny retires all the writers here will go broke. By putting mannys name in ther article they earn a lot and can feed their hungry family
i doubt martinez will overtake the p4p list with that lucky punch to the overated slick african-american inner-city boxer williams. by the way pacman is the fighter of the decade, if u happen to forgot
so i guess pac shouldnt fight williams anymoire, right, lahr? MUHHHHAAAHHAAAAAAA!!!
Martinez is now waiting for a possible best opponent (Floyd Mayweather) @ 160 lbs Middleweight Division. On the lower weight class Manny Pacquiao is Guarding (Floyd Mayweather) the 140 to 154 lbs Divisions … Where will Floyd Mayweather go from now? (better retire for good?)…. just a thought! :p
another obsolete fighting sytle by african american boxer.
Eat a c0[k Lahr. Why don’t you call out 8itch a5s Floyd. He’s the one who said he’s interested in fighting the winner of the 2.
There was a recent article on here titled “Floyd Mayweather’s interested in the Williams-Martinez winner,” by Evan Bailey.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. gave an interview to “DJ Whoo Kid,” of HOT 97.1 a New York City Radio Station. He expressed his feelings on the Williams-Martinez fight and how he would like to take on the winner.
Many left comments on this article, including myself. The entire article was deleted for some reason. In fact the aticle was on here last week.
Bob Arum just said he doesn’t want to put Pacquiao in with another big guy. Now Dave Lahr is trying to divert attention
away from Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s radio comment to Pacquiao avoiding Martinez? Give me a break!!!!
lahr u fool,sergio,s a middle weight manny,s an average sized light welter so he shouldnt fight sergio,its like saying sergio is dodging david haye,de weight classes are der for a reason,u havent a clue about boxing so please stop writing
Dave Lahr and Lacem up are the same breed of folks. Can’t think nor make an assessment of someone else’s accomplishments without being bias nor prejudice. Most notably, they keep singing the same old tunes. Try writing or commenting with facts, convictions and/or critical/new items to point out.
Sergio and Pacquiao are in different divisions. One thing pacquiao or Sergio can do is just respect each other accomplishments and just move on on the next contender. By the way, where’s Mayweather?
wasnt it floyd who said he’d be interested in fighting the winner of martinez and williams?
i bet my left nut, that that fight doesnt happen!
floyd are you still interested? CRICKETS………..
LOL! COME HERE DAVE! LET ME GIVE YOU A BIG HUG…….
Billy Liar & Scott Lovefloyd are the only writers on the payroll…..!?
why is this lahr character even allowed to write in this site? he’s always wrong. he can’t generate a single penny if people ignore him ( through ads and sponsors). but then if he keeps sucking off somebody high up at 24/7, he’ll keep writing anyway. lol.
dudes have been calling pac out to fight mosley, right. now that looks like a possiblity so now its a BS fight! GIVE ME A BREAK! you guys are just haters.
all i’ve been hearing is manny wont fight “black” americans and that he would never fight mosley and definetley wouldnt fight marquez again. its a reality now and guys are doin a u turn!
berto? who the hell has he beaten to deserve the fight? same with bradley and alexander?
i also remember alot of you pac haters saying that the margarito fight wouldnt do a million ppv’s.
Its like saying Andre Ward is avoiding Vitali, but we know that won’t happen coz he is the golden child. He is an Afro American, he can fight who he wants, where he wants. Only in America!
this article is self imagination! absolutely not true and absolutely
not making any sense! DAVED Lahr your absolutely writing a no basis article! you are absolutely paranoid.
hey lahr, say what you’ve just written to baby floyd. floyd has been rusty for some time now. floyd needs a tune-up b4 he deals with my man, pac. scaredy floyd needs a lot of proving himself to do to be worthy of my man, pac. but then again, you know floydy will duck…sorry loser!
EVERYONE listen to Floyd Mayweather Sr. say he is “SCARED FOR HIS SON’S LIFE” against Manny Pacquiao in this youtube video here………http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In16MLvfC8U
flash report!! mayweather announced that he will no longer interested to fight the winner in williams,martinez fight,he still busy enjoying his extended vacation.
Pual willams got knocked the f*ck out. Martinez way to heavy handed.
@ People Not Fighting Martinez
dude, martinez is a middleweight! 160lbs. thats his optimal weightclass!
pacquiao is a 140lber that fights at 147lbs
mayweather. mosley, berto, cotto are not 160lb fighters
palvik has fought and lost to martinez???
alvarez is comming up, give him time
charez jr, is a fraud!
What do you expect, he is nowhere near the size Martinez. You people will never stop until your saying he is a coward for not fighting the K bros. I have never heard so much sh*t in my life!
If Berto, Bradley, Alexander, any of these guys scores an exciting knock out a la Martinez, then they will easily be considered for a fight.
Right now, no one will pay to see these guys fight.
It’s not Pacquiao’s fault that those clowns have nothing to offer.
Pacquiao fights enough in sparring.
If these guys want to be under the big lights, they gotta prove they can perform under them first.
this man david lahr ha no BRAIN AT ALL!how pitty this man would be,a delusional idiot!A CLOWN!
manny will not take on berto,bradley,alexander,martinez,williams. it wont happen. mosley then marquez.
these idiots that actually believe pacquiao should be fighting martinez? its insane!
martinez can barely make 154lbs, pacquiao cant make 150lbs! that was obvious fromthe margarito fight! just face it guys. martinez is a middleweight, pacquiao isnt. how is that a duck?
guys that suggest this are nothing more than haters. and it is a little bit hippocritical calling pac out when floyds held a 154lb world title 3 years ago!
pacquiao took a catchweight at 150lbs because hes not big enough to fight at 154lbs, GET IT! that his fight with margarito was for a world title was BS, i agree there, but that only says more about the WBC than team pacquiao.
NOTE: like i’ve been saying for a while now, paul williams isnt the punisher that everybody makes him out to be. hes flawed in so many ways and has just been draining himself to take on smaller fighters, until now. good riddance!
Sergio is calling out Mayweather and all these Floydiots can say is that Manny won’t fight Sergio. Give Manny a break and let us see your boy fight a bigger fighter for a change .
Pacquiao should get more credit if he decides to fight Martinez, than criticism if he doesn’t.
Martinez is too big.
If greatness was decided by how many bigger opponents you beat, then Manny would be the greatest fighter of our generation by far.
Cotto aint challenging naturally bigger guys.
Mayweather aint.
Williams aint.
Martinez aint.
No one is but Pacquiao.
EVERYONE listen to Floyd Mayweather Sr. say he is “SCARED FOR HIS SON’S LIFE” against Manny Pacquiao in this youtube video………http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In16MLvfC8U
Pacquiao
Mayweather
Mosley
Berto
Cotto
Alvarez
Chavez Jr.
Pavlik
…that’s a pretty nice list…although, I think if it was his LAST FIGHT, and he wanted to go out with a BANG, as a test…
…I could see MANNY fighting MARTINEZ…but not before a $40 Million dollar payday is out there…
…Latin ‘Bernard Hopkins’ says…
…why are all the BLACK AMERICAN FIGHTERS from the street, avoiding the STRAIGHT-FORWARD, heart of a champion hispanic fighters?…
Dave, did you even read what Sergio said that he will not come down lower than 156 lbs. You must have great respect for Pacquiao to even consider a lightweight fighting a middleweight.
all i hear are excuses , excuses, excuses. always some excuse for why manny wont face the top boxers in the world and he is not a small welt he came in at 148 pounds day of bout vs. antonio. floyd came in 147 day of bout vs delahoya, hatton,marquez and mosley.always some b.s. excuse for this dood.
another moronic article from a delusional moronic idiot !!!
So first Pac-Man is accused of “avoiding” any slick African-American boxer, and now when he’s either being promoted to fight Mayweather or Mosley or Berto, now he’s avoiding Martinez? Fhat the Wuck? Dave Lahr, the only saving grace of your stupid rants is that they show that freedom of speech is still alive and well in this country. And if stupidity were a crime, you’d been in death row by now.
dave lahr is a moron.
no dave, pacquiao will fight a heavyweight next year. maybe haye or the klitsko bros. then you will be shocked how he will manhandle those giants. hahahahahahaha.
THE MAIN CULPRIT TO ALL BOXING MESS IN TODAY’S MATCHUP IS THE WORLD BOXING COMMISSION. THE COMMISSION IS OBLIGATORY TO DEVISE, TO DEVELOP TO PROMOTE AND REGULATE BOXING RULES AND REGULATION IN ALL WEIGHT DIVISION FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITHOUT EXCEPTION OR EXEMPTION.
WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW, THE BOXING COMMISSION CONDONES AND APPROVES ALL MATCHUPS IN TODAYS’ BOXING. IT IS NOW HIGHTIME FOR THE WORLD BOXING COMMISSION TO ADOPT A SYSTEM OR RULES AS GUIDELINE IN PROMOTING HIGHLY ANTICIPATED MATCHUP THAT IS MORE COMPETITIVE FREE FROM CRITICISM AND DOUBT FROM BOXING FANS WORLDWIDE.
MR. BEN JAMES I SALUTE YOU FOR HAVING THE NERVE TO DISCLOSE WHAT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND
Paquioa is also avoiding Klitschko. Dave lahr is so dumb. Maybe dave lahr has not read what martinez say about matching him with paquiao. What a dumb hate writer.
pacquiao is a small welterweight.. get real dave
Even Martinez said in a post fight interview that a possible fight with Pacquiao is going to be a mismatch because of huge size difference. But if he is willing to level the playing field he can agree to a fight night weigh in of 156 lbs. That will be a very good fight. 148 lbs. vs 156 fair!
Pac wont fight Martinez because it would actually be a challenge! Now if Martinez agrees to all Pacs demands like catchweights and no ped testing and Martinez gets koed in his next fight, then they will take it..FIGHT IS ON!! GO MANNY … you are the greatest of all time!
Pacquioa is not a leader in boxing! He feeds off other peoples leftovers. Because of his popularity he can put all of the demands in the fight. Thats why he keeps fighting bums! Pacquioa will go down in history being known as the catchweight king! [*]
pacman is avoiding a lot of boxers. how come he’s avoiding those good flyweights, bantamweights, lightweights and heavyweights. that question begs an answer manny.
I think you guys are getting icing on the cake with Manny Pacquiao. Manny will retire and you guys don’t have anything to write about. Boxing will be over and you are stuck with someone (mayweather) who will represent boxing at its best. LOL!. Again, any fight that Manny fights from now on is gravy. So keep writing because you are going to write about nothing.

Hatton was showing signs of decline in his TKO of Malignaggi? Oscar was declining when he took Floyd to the limit in a split decision? You can definitely make that argument for Margo but Hatton? And there were a lot of people thinking that Oscar was gonna beat Pac. I don’t want to see Pac fight Mosley but I think Marquez (if he wins next week) would be a good fight considering how close there last fight was.
of course. pac and mayweather should avoid sergio. He is in a different weight class. It would be nice to see what segio would do at 168 with guys like froch and ward
Listen to Floyd Mayweather Sr. say he’s “SCARED FOR HIS SON’S LIFE” against Pacquiao in this youtube video….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In16MLvfC8U
no, he ll only fight martinez at a catchweight of 106…
@Batangueño, The Return , LOL Manny “The Dehydrator Pacquiao!
I dont think a weight could be agreed by the 2. Manny cant get any bigger, hes tried and Martinez wont be prepared to drop any more than has already.
Its not a case of avoidance.
Pacman dos not want to go up to 154 again, and for Sergio it is very defficult go down to 154 so it is obvious that this fight will never happan. Dave Lahr you are still a stupid f@ck who lives in a fantasy world!

The chump who fights only bums, my name is manny pacquiao
In other news, Mayweather is looking to fight his mailman. No word if a blood test will be required or if he will come in 2 pounds heavier.
Manny “The Dehydrator” Pacquiao will fight anybody who’s willing to drain to near-death. And as long as they don’t question what’s in his blood. LMAO.
