    Yes.


    Oscar won rounds 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8.

    Floyd won the rest.

    2 completely different fights. Sergio likes fighters to come to him so he can counter. Cotto was trying to get in on the inside against Floyd.

    Sergio would be Floyd's easiest opponent to date @ 154.

    Floyd doesn't fit the stylistic profile of the type of opponents that Sergio has had success against. And vice versa. I don't see Sergio's style being as effective when he isn't the fastest man in the ring (as well as the smartest). Sergio just isn't aggressive enough a fighter to beat Mayweather. And that's what he would need to be in order to have a shot at Mayweather. Because he damn sure ain't outboxing him. I would favor Floyd by a narrow margin @ 160 as well.

    Stopped in 8 to 10. Brutal match. and for any one saying May is just a 147 fighter, Duran, Armstrong, Leonard, Napoles, DLH, Hearns, Trinidad, Robinson... went up and fought the #1 Middleweight, some went up against ATG middleweights HAGLER, MONZON, HOPKINS, LaMotta. May would fight Martinez.

    Floyd can get down to 140 if he really wanted. Bradley is bigger than him

    I think its unfair to compare the two as we can see Floyds top weight isnt 154 , its 147. Martinez knocks out full middles , dont put the two together.

    :think I see Martinez out boxing, out brawling May, and taking him out within 10. Too bad it won't ever happen. Floyd just isn't up there with the ATG legends that went came from fighting from 120, 126 and 130 pounds to fight at 160.

    Martinez may be too much for Floyd. On the other hand, it would be a great achievement if he could get the true middleweight title from a p4p rated fighter. It's probably too big a risk, but it would be a huge boost to his legacy imo.

    STFU with this nonsense. All the names you mentioned were all physically bigger men than Mayweather. There is a ****ing limit.

    However Sergio would be a much more powerful and explosive puncher than anything Floyd has faced if the fought at 154 or higher. At some point the size difference starts to superceed the gap in skill and for Floyd that might happen in such a fight (especially at 160). If Martinez landed the same blow on Mayweather that Mosley did it might be real bad for him. I could certainly envision that.

    Duran, and Armstrong started out at 120, Napoles at 126, they went up and fought ATG Middleweights. Duran weighed 156, Armstrong weighed in 142, Napoles weighed in 153. Floyd could weigh in at 152.

    Lara vs Floyd at 154 would be great as well.

    Toss-up for me. I think it's close and competitive, and whoever wins, does so by a couple of points, tops.
