What a surprise. Sergio offers to drop all the way down to 150, and Manny wants him to come down even more.

Fucking typical. Asking Sergio to make a weight he hasn't made in 10 years.

I hope Sergio tells Manny to fuck off and ends up fighting Floyd at 150. How much farther do these dudes want people to come down?

I wonder if he'll fight the Klitschkos if they'll come down to 140.

From the Scene

During last month's pre-fight promotion for his title defense against Darren Barker, Martinez said he was willing to "risk his health" by dropping all the way down to 150-pounds to fight Pacquiao.

"I must go down to 150 and take a risk with my health. I want to prove that pound for pound I'm the best boxer. Now there is no excuse," Martinez said.

However, a fight with Pacquiao will require a few more pounds. If Martinez wants to get in the ring with Pacquiao, he will have to risk a lot more than his health by shaving off enough weight to make the welterweight limit of 147-pounds. Martinez, once a 147-pounder, has not made the welterweight limit since October of 2001.

"If Sergio Martinez can get to 147 pounds, why not? We can negotiate a weight," Pacquiao told the Los Angeles Times.

By the way, why are you consistently breaking the #1 rule of FightHype in that you are to treat users and staff with respect.

You've shown VERY LITTLE respect in your time here, and constantly degrade and downtalk anyone you disagree with.

Setting a bad example sea shell. You can do better, I know you can!

You're good enough, you're smart enough and...well...nevermind.
