    Its probably the only other fighter out there that can be competitive wit Floyd? Martinez has shown a willinghess to even drop down to 150 for it.

    Post a thread on this and all you get is no let Martinez fight Dirrell or Ward. Martinez is really a 154 pound fighter who got a shot at Williams on short notice at 160 got robbed, then canned Williams in the rematch so he is there.

    This is a match of interest and any real boxing fan should want it especially if he wont fight Manny what gives?????

    I'd love it, but lets be real. Why doesn't he fight Bute? At least Bute has fans.

    #1 - Martinez was not robbed in the first Williams fight.

    #2 - He is the MW champ no matter how much you guys want to spin it as if he's a 154 pounder.

    #3 - Floyd came in at 147 for a 154 pound title fight.


    I don't have anything against Martinez, but Floyd not fighting him is not considered a duck unless you are just desperate for someone to beat him.

    I'd love to see it, I just don't see it as practical

    <154- Sergio was drained and pathetic catchweight, Mayweather looks bad,
    154- Sergio was drained, Mayweather looks bad
    155-159 Catchweight yet again, Mayweather looks bad due to his hatred of catchweights
    160- Sergio has every advantage, as Mayweather is the cash cow this isn't going to happen.

    Floyd fans:

    01. Boxing fans.

    02. Could not give a **** less if Floyd took 10% against Pacquiao. We explain why he isn't going for 50/50 from a business standpoint.

    03. Want the Pacquiao fight.

    04. Want the Martinez fight.

    05. Are not worried for Floyd in either.

    good points

    the only way floyd would get credit beating sergio it has to be at 160.
