    Mayweather, it's all about styles, skills, and ring iq.

    I've said this before last night that Floyd would have an easier time with Martinez than emmanuel would.

    Pacman would be harder physicaly because of his action style.

    mayweather will be harder mentally because of his traps and constnt setups

    Even though I think Cintrion is a ***** I think he allowed us to see some of the weaknesses in Martinez's game. I think Mayweather can pick his shots pretty well it would be a game of poker but Maravilla has a better deck of hands.

    Mayweather has a very educated jab and would use it!

    I'm not even remotely interested in him fighting either of these guys.

    They're different sizes in different weight classes. What's the ****ing point.

    Pacquiao has no reason to fight a middleweight. This is floyd's fight to take but we all know he wont.

    Mayweather even though I think May would lose against Maravilla....Pac gets killed in the ring

    Floyd may even get stopped by Maravilla. Ring IQ, are a mirror image for both fighters I think. Both are boxing wizards. But judging from how Mayweather has fought previous southpaws I give the advantage to Sergio. This aint Zab Judah folks(who floored FM) its Sergio Mutha****in Martinez.

    Floyd would be the harder fight for Martinez. Floyd would turn it into a cat and mouse boxing match. He'd be elusive and keep out of Martinez's range. Martinez would have to come and try to find Floyd rather than having a guy who will war with him.

    Martinez is fast and physical and is also smart in there, which would make him absolute hell for Pacquiao. It's a case where Pacquiao isn't just facing a "bigger" guy, but also a guy who is very different than the other "bigger" guys he's fought.

    I will say this again......Amen to that!! Why do they keep on insisting that Mayweather and Pac fight Martinez when Martinez said the lowest he would go is 156lbs? Pac can't even make 150lbs and Mayweather didn't make the 154lbs when he fought ODLH. It won't be a fair fight. Martinez will be beating these guys with alteast 25+lbs at fight night!!!!

    no, just like pac shouldnt be at jr. middle. this just happens to be one of 2 realistic choices floyd has to challenge himself. if not pac, for whatever reason, then it has to be sergio.
