Sergio Martinez: I Would KO Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao

Last Saturday, 35-year-old WBC middleweight (160 pounds) king Sergio Martinez (46-2-2, 25 knockouts) scored a shocking, HBO televised, second-round knockout over fellow southpaw and challenger Paul Williams (39-2, 27 knockouts), who was ranked No. 3 on most lists among the best fighters pound-for-pound in the sport behind unbeaten six-time champion Floyd Mayweather (41-0, 25 KOs) and eight-division king Manny Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs), current holder of the WBO welterweight (147 pounds) and WBC junior middleweight (154 pounds) belts.

In victory, Martinez not only avenged a disputed, majority decision loss from December during which both fighters were dropped in the first round, but he also made a strong argument for Fighter of the Year honors, given that he was coming off of April's unanimous decision that dethroned Kelly Pavlik as middleweight king.

In this interview with FanHouse, Martinez candidly states that he would knock out Pacquiao, Mayweather and WBA junior middleweight king Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 knockouts) if ever given the chance to face any one of them.

Pacquiao, Cotto and Pavlik are promoted by Top Rank Promotions, Mayweather, by Golden Boy Promotions, Williams, by Goossen Tutor Promotions, and Martinez, by Lou DiBella.

Trips, don't pay these dudes no attention bruh. According to these cats if you're not a Manny fan, Manny nut rider, or if you're not on the "I hate Mayweather" bandwagon, then you don't know nothing about boxing.

I'm not speaking for anyone else and only speak for me, but I'm speaking to you Tony, and your minion.

I'm a fan of the sport. The only time I'm a "fan" of either of these two guys is if I place a bet on them (or against them) and win money. I've said both these guys are talented and have never once questioned Floyds skills in the ring. Do I believe he is the better boxer? Yes. Do I believe he can beat Manny? No. But as I've said before, anyone can beat anyone on any given night. All it takes is one punch. Now compare that to you saying "Floyd is a beast" saying "He can't be beaten" and making excuses for him. Throw in the posts that clearly show you and trips have shown that you don't know much of anything about boxing and, well, there you have it.

I'm a fan of the sport too, but I call it like I see it. I believe Floyd is not scared of Manny and they're going to fight in 2011 if Arum doesn't rush. I think Arum should chill for a minute to see if Floyd is going to be going to jail or not. If he's going to jail then he should find someone else for Manny to fight, if Floyd is not going to jail and if he plans on returning to the ring in 2011 then they should try to get the fight crackin. But Arum needs to chill and not impose these deadlines. He runs Manny not Floyd.

Floyd is an undefeated beast and he'll still be undefeated after beating up on Manny in the ring. He's going to dominate Manny and make him look like a fool.

I see martinez is looking for big money fights, and he has that right, but I'm not really impressed with him going after floyd or manny to be honest. he just won the middleweight titles. How about Dmirtry Pirog or Felix Sturm at 160 to unify?

 

[MOREBASS]

^ Exactly what I was thinking. I'm a Maravilla fan, but pick on someone your own size, or even more impressively...go bark at some of the big dogs at 168. But I do understand, that he was a late starter and the peak of his career had to come at his age.

I like Martinez-Pirog, but I think Dibella and Martinez are on the same page. They want to cash in while he's hot. Can't blame 'em.

One of the authors who wrote the book Game of Shadows Mark Fainaru-Wada (no relation to WADA "World Anti-Doping Agency") who worked for the SF Chronicle and broke the BALCO case was in my journalism class about two weeks ago. A student asked a question along the lines of how prominent do you think PED's are in sports right now. And he simply replied "very significant". And then went on to say track athletes who are probably the most rigorously tested athletes in all of sports are still beating PED testing.

With that said anybody denying the fact that Pacman may in fact be juicing is obviously in denial. A guy who looked like he weighed 100 lbs. soaking wet back in 2002 to what he looks like in any of his recent fights is pretty jaw dropping. The fact that hes won belts in about 100 different weight classes doesn't help either. Look at dude, and tell me that shit ain't fishy! I am not convicting the man of juicing I am just saying take the random WADA (Olympic) style drug testing instead of talking about you need at least this many days, then this many days if your clean.

All in all the fight will not be made till both of these guys put their huge egos aside. Yes both of them. Don't think just because Pac cannot speak English very well that he isn't running shit. Both of them are bullshitting. Both promoters are bullshitting and this will by no means be the only issue arising from negotiations.

^^actually I think you may be a little ignorant on pacquiao and his weights, years ago pacquiao was cutting a ton of weight to make weight, i.e he was weight drained. He would always come in the ring weighing around 142-144 pounds. Fast forward 5 years and he comes in the ring weighing what? 144-146 pounds. the difference is he doesn't have to cut weight anymore and he's actually fighting at his walking around weight.

Most every fighter in the sport below heavyweight loses a ton of weight just to fight in their weight class, then they rehydrate 10-20 pounds in 24 hours by fight night. What pacquiao is doing is skipping that entire process and fighting at his natural weight.

For example, when he fought Morales at 130 pounds, Pac weighed 144 pounds on fight night:

Against Barrera at 130, he weighed 144:

Marquez at 130, he weighed 145:

Diaz at 135, 147

Against Oscar

Against Hatton

Cotto

And against Margarito he weighed in at 144, and on fight night he was 148.

So in reality for the past 6 years he's always weighed the same he just isn't cutting weight. And that shows by the huge difference in weight between the weigh in weight and the actual weight on fight night, it's decreasing rapidly. Before he would rehydrate 15 pounds. Now he rehydrates 1-2 pounds.

I did write that without having weight cutting in mind but I also left out any ideas or opinions of why the difference appears so monumental except the option that he is possibly juicing. Only because that is the topic of discussion. You could be right, but if you didn't get my point on just take the testing than I don't know what to say.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

I understand your point as well, all I'm saying is that his climbing of weight classes has been a little deceiving when you really look into the numbers.

In reality pacquiao is a throwback fighter. In the old days, weigh ins were the day of the fight, not 24 hours before, so more people fought in there natural weight classes (or a lot closer to it).

Now days everyone really takes advantage of the 24 hour weigh in rule, which was only implemented to save lives. In reality it really makes weight classes kind of pointless, as no one weighs the actual contracted weight.

 

[MRTHECOSE]

wasnt it disccussed in another thread a while back that Pacmans weight gain in the past ten years is almost identical to floyds in that same span meaning you get older u gradually put on more weight?

 

[2-0-Sixx]

yeah both floyd and pac came from 106 pounds. like I said the difference was pac was forced to turned pro at 16 to eat floyd was still in the amateurs
