Let’s set the stage, Sergio Martinez 45-2-2, (24) faces Manny Pacquiao 51-3-2, (38) for the summer of 2011. Fight fans would pay top dollar to see these battle it out in Dallas.

His awkward style would make Manny cautious to come inside to fight him.
We know for a fact that Sergio Martinez would face anybody. He will fight at 154lbs up to 160lbs. Let’s not forget he beat Kelly Pavlik at 160lbs and Kelly has power in his punch.
