    Bozo, it doesn't matter who Sergio fights, Floydie would never fight him. Stop pretending like your hero takes on challenges and go find a good excuse as to why Floydie is fighting Guerrero (who's best win is Berto whom was coming off a loss to begin with)

    1. Martinez vs Trout is good but why should Martinez fight him to get to Floydie as you suggested? Martinez vs Mayweather makes more sense in all aspects. If you can't see that you are just plain dumb. But let's be honest, Martinez vs Mayweather is never gonna happen. Floyd's biggest fights, money wise, are Pac, Canelo and Martinez. If he had balls he would of done or atleast have them lined up already and retire with $150mill+ in just those 3 fights. Good for legacy and even better for his wallet.

    I dont think Martienz vs Mayweather will ever happen because Floyd is not going to fight a middleweight with no fanbase. Martienez fight doesnt make Floyd more money than a Guerrero fight. Guerrero has more fans and will bring more fans than Sergio would. Segio proving he can make 154 def gets the buzz going for a Canelo fight he beats Canelo at 154 then a Mayweather fight is a possibility. Who is Sergio fighting next?

    Thats a pretty shitty resume win your best win is beating Paul Williams in a rematch

    Martinez Late TKO
    GSP UD (****ing French-Canadian Coward should have sacked up and fought Hendricks rather than cherrypicking a guy coming off a loss and a drug suspension for a year.)

    just like Boxing MMA is a business, GSP vs Diaz way more PPV buy than GSP vs Hendricks

    That'd be fine if Diaz by himself was a draw, but he isn't. GSP usually gets somewhere between 690K and 800K buys when he headlines a card himself (except for the Penn rematch where he drew 920K buys.) GSP is a decent draw regardless of the opponent.

    Now... Diaz vs Penn did... 280K buys. And Diaz vs Condit did... 400K. In other words, Diaz isn't **** as a draw. GSP-Diaz gets 800K buys most likely, 900K if they get really lucky. It will NOT crack a million buys. Had GSP simple sacked up and fought Hendricks, that does between 700 and 800K buys most likely, simply because it's GSP. GSP is the draw; Diaz has no drawing power on his own, none, and it won't be a competitive fight either.

    :patsch It wouldn't help him in anyway,if anything he'd give cash cows another reason on why to avoid him even more.Sergio will stay at 160lb & go down only for floyd or canelo when they accept if ever.Floyd holds a title there why doesn't he?
