    I think Martinez is the one to beat PBF. Have been saying this for a while.

    Pac would be a mismatch since Pac is so short.

    But the PBF fight i see being a fast paced chess game with Martinez coming out on top.

    Two things:

    1- Weight limit on the contract is

    and not 157lbs.

    2- Martinez weigh in after eating and he was fully clothed (w/ shoes).

    In other words you can easy subtract a good 6-7 lbs from that 176lbs weigh in result.

    well lets just say this, even tho pac-floyd is the mega fight everyone wants. i think we cann all agree martinez poses a much tougher challenge than pac does.

    Pavlik went from about 180 to 165 in aproximately 2 weeks. He went from 165 to 159.5 the day of the weigh in. We saw the results.

    If that's the case, then his weight isn't to far off. You want most middleweights at around 168 at this point. With the contracted weight of 158 he's only 2-4 pounds over. Considering that he was at 154 recently the weight should come off. I'd still like to see pics.

    so let me get this straight. You think an Professional athlete wont be able to burn that little bit of weight?
    I lost 6 pounds 1 day not trying and I was just working the bag for 4 hours. Martinez is 3x the athlete I was

    You got to be kidding me.
    I guess its true you really dont understand the sport until you laced up

    Mayweather Reached his ceiling.
    He cant be a Pound for Pound fighter at 154. Sure theres a slew of guys he will beat. But best vs best p4p he cant beat the best due to size. Maybe Martinez drop to 147 and we can see greatness at work but Martinez would die to make that weight a few of those pounds would be muscle and he would be no moe good and it would like like pbf ruined him but he ruins hiself tryng that
    Floyd stay at 147 to copete best for best p4p
