曼尼.帕奎奥在他目前的比赛之前可能不得不启动一场全新的比赛。
最近,除了弗罗伊德.梅威瑟以外,几乎没有什么其他的检测可以测试帕奎奥作为一个拳手的真实本领。但是如果这位菲律宾冠军并不害怕小小的挑战,那么2010年年度最佳拳手马丁内兹已经在154磅这个体重级别等待了很久。
在拳绳拳击广播最近的访谈节目中,马丁内兹明确地表示,他不想在与菲律宾对手的有可能的比赛中受到无理的对待。实际上,这位中量级冠军已经明确说明他准备采用什么样的折衷办法。
“我从未对帕奎奥或梅威瑟说来我的160磅这个级别进行比赛,”马丁内兹说。
“我在过去就说过,嘿,让我们达成协议吧。让我们选择一个中间级别,让我们在154磅较量吧。”
本着公平的精神,需要重点指出的是马丁内兹也想与梅威瑟进行比赛。然而,梅威瑟目前忙于澄清他躲避帕奎奥的说法,因此没有必要将这个躲避事件堆积到一起。此外,在帕奎奥发起的针对梅威瑟的白痴般的诉讼案以及马上就要开战的9月份与奥提兹的大战之间,保持不败的梅威瑟似乎已经忙得不可开交。
与此同时的是,帕奎奥几乎没有什么事需要担心。当然,还有11月份他保证会获胜的与曼纽尔.马奎兹的比赛,轻微的医疗惊吓以及他生机勃勃的歌唱事业--但是没有什么事是这位国会议员搞不定的。因此,如果是处在这种状况下,为什么帕奎奥的推广人,曾经很不靠谱的鲍勃.阿鲁姆,非常明确地表示他的拳手不想与马丁内兹交手?
实际上就在最近,阿鲁姆甚至声称帕奎奥与马丁内兹之间可能的比赛为“荒谬的。”现在真是这样的吗?荒谬?对于一个或许是如此多才多艺、要以8个级别冠军来不断升级证明自己是真正的拳击界P4P冠军的拳手来说是荒谬的?
听起来不是那么荒谬。
然而,马丁内兹对于帕奎奥的不愿交手有着自己的看法。马丁内兹似乎相信帕奎奥现在只是在躲避他,并且在等待这位36岁的老将再过气一些、再慢下来些、再谨慎一些,然后再进行一次对付莫斯利那种样式的屠杀。
“我完全肯定那很有可能就是他们的真实意图。我的意思是帕奎奥现在打的所有对手都在36或37或38岁,他对于要对付奥提兹的梅威瑟来说也是如此。”马丁内兹说。“帕奎奥的很多对手真的太老了,因此那就是可能的原因所在。”
在拳击运动中,躲避对手已经差不多成为欺骗、撒谎、盗窃的代名词--认为帕奎奥只是在躲避一个在他看来是合理的具有威胁性的拳手真的如此疯狂吗?

Is Manny Pacquiao Really Ducking Sergio Martinez? Probably
By Alex Groberman on Aug 9, 2011
Manny Pacquiao is so far ahead of his current competition that he just might have to start a whole new race.
With the exception of Floyd Mayweather Jr., there are very few remaining tests to gauge Pacquiao’s effectiveness as a boxer these days. But if the Filipino champion isn’t afraid of a little challenge, that competition could be waiting for him at the 154-pound mark in the form of 2010 Fighter of the Year, Sergio Martinez.
During a recent interview with On the Ropes Boxing Radio, Martinez made it very clear that he didn’t want to be unreasonable in regards to a possible match with his Filipino counterpart. In fact, the middleweight champion spelled out specifically what type of compromises he was prepared to make.
"I never said to Pacquiao or Mayweather to come up to my weight at 160 pounds," Martinez said.
"What I said in the past was hey, let's make an agreement. Let's do a catch weight or let’s fight at 154 pounds," he added.
In the spirit of fairness, it’s also important to note that Martinez wants Mayweather as well. However, Mayweather is currently busy juggling the allegations that he’s ducking Pacquiao, so no need to pile on with this case of ducking as well. Furthermore, between the idiotic lawsuit that Pacquiao has levied against him and his upcoming September showdown versus Victor Ortiz, the undefeated Mayweather seems to have his hands full.
Pacquiao, meanwhile, has far fewer things to worry about. Sure, there is his November bout against Juan Manuel Marquez that he’s guaranteed to win, a slight medical scare and his thriving singing career – but nothing that the congressman can’t handle. So, if that’s the case, why is Pacquiao’s promoter, the ever-shady Bob Arum, ** it so explicitly apparent that his boy wants no part of Martinez?
Very recently, in fact, Arum went so far as to call the murmurs suggesting a possible battle between Pacquiao and Martinez “absurd.” Really now? Absurd? It’s absurd to think that perhaps a fighter who is so versatile that he held the distinction of being an eight-division champion might want to move up in weight to prove that he’s truly the pound-for-pound best in the sport?
It doesn’t sound that absurd.
Martinez has his own theory on Pacquiao’s reluctance, though. He seems to believe that Pacquiao is simply ducking him for now, waiting for the 36-year-old to get a little more seasoned, a little slower, and a little more primed for a Shane Mosley-style massacre.
"I'm pretty sure that’s probably what their intentions are. I mean Pacquiao is fighting everybody that's either 36 or 37 or 38, and it's the same thing with Mayweather, besides taking on (Victor) Ortiz," Martinez said. "A lot of his opponents are really much older so that might be the case."
In a sport where ducking has become almost as commonplace as cheating, lying and stealing – is it really so crazy to think that Pacquiao is simply ducking a fighter he sees as a legitimate threat?
You be the judge.
