Martinez and Pacquaio closing in on Mayweather.

    They are two of the most destructive punchers in the game.

    At 147 and below, Pacquaio awaits Mayweather.

    At 154 and above, Martinez hovers overhead.

    Mayweather has no where to go but left or right.

    Left is probably Khan. Right could be Guerrero, but possibly Berto.

    I don't particularly care for these fights personally and I think in order for Mayweather to retain the title as the best, he has to be willing to fight the best.

    Martinez and Pacquaio are clearly the best. But they do punch, and that's what makes them monsterous.

    Because one slip up, one mistake, and it's over.

    Next thing you know, you got rapid punches coming in that will put you to sleep in mid air.

    I don't know if I would wish for any man to fight these two, but Mayweather presents himself as the best and tends to trash talk opponents. As far as I know, he remains silent about Martinez.

    But Pacquaio has been disrespected to the point to where it affected people's outlook on him. Perhaps Mayweather was right in his assertion, but the damage is still done.

    For that alone, I'd honestly say that I think Mayweather owes Pacquaio a fight.

    Martinez can't make 154 comfortably, so he's not going back there.

    Manny and Floyd will never fight, so he doesn't need to worry about that.

    Pacquiao and Martinez can only hit guys who can't box. Put them in with boxers, and they can't hit ****.

    The thing that strikes me the most is that he was telling that Cotto was like an unbeaten fighter to him which was non-directly discrediting Pacquiao but then he called out Manny and said that as long as Bob (Arum) is not there so it's smart. Pacquiao is not gonna let Bob so this is a way to say I would like to fght but I won't...

    But they are the best in and around Mayweather's weight class.

    Back in the day, it was 135 and then 147. No 140.

    The next weightclass was 160.

    So back in the day, there would be no middle ground.

    Regardless, the fact remains, Martinez and Pacquaio are the best.

    Mayweather is the best.

    The best should fight the best, if you want to remain the best because it proves who's the best of the best.

    They are closing in on him like the Predator or the Alien.

    Martinez is willing to fight Mayweather for $10.

    Pacquaio has to meet 10 million stipulations.


    If Mayweather doesn't fight one of them, is there any doubt that he's ascared?
