    Other than being the 3 best fighters today: they all have the WBC 154lbs title in their collection, and never lost it in the ring.

    So is it too much to ask to see just ONE of the 3 possible match-ups between these trio happening in 2011 at light-middleweight?

    Pac/Mayweather is prob more likely than Pac/Martinez...
    But Mayweather/Martinez... That is interesting.
    (& The fight I'd rather watch to be honest)

    Pac is out, Mayweather is the only one left and he did express interest in fighting the winner on a radio interview. Dibella probably won't make any phone calls for a week or so though.

    You actually believe that junk?

    Floyd also said he was willing to fight in the UFC to prove boxing is better and when Dana White offered him a fight with the WW champion Floyd backed out of his statement and instead made an offer himself for the MMA HW champion to fight Wlad.

    He said those comments about the UFC right before the De La Hoya fight, it was simply a media move to promote the fight, he said the same kind of comments before the Marquez fight about UFC being white beer drinkers etc.
    It is what it is, he did say he expressed interest, I'm just saying he said it, I'm not willing to express if I believe him or not that's confidential.

    Floyd's people have shown interest in Martinez before at a 157 catch weight. To go for a 6th title. Other than Pacquiao, he's the only guy they think the big money is with now.

    I remember reading Roger Mayweather, last year, saying they'd look at Martinez as a possible opponent, and go for the 6th belt, if they can't get Pacquiao done. And Floyd's stated the same himself.

    They love Martinez's style. They think he's big, but perftectly suited for Mayweather. Very sloppy, and easy to hit.

    No way Manny will fight the guy. As he can't go into a boxing ring, and not get hit. It would be suicide.

    Floyd would have a chance though.
