    I think that Pacquiao will fight Martinez before Floyd Jr. will. He's the King of the catch-weight fight. I mean that he loves to fight bigger opponents and he has done this for all along. What you think?

    I doubt it, after the margarito fight its clear team pac don't want to take any further chances at the higher weight divisions although he won by a landslide he was still hit by margarito, conventional wisdom would suggest martinez will definetly land a greater volume of effective punches due to his speed, thus i think the Floyd fight is more plausible...

    Neither.

    And neither HAS to.

    But I think Floyd would fight him before Pac would.

    I expect a fight between Mayweather and Martinez to happen.

    if either were to fight Martinez, Floyd would obviously do it first

    history shows that manny will go hounding for what's left of what Floyd has already ate

    Neither. Martinez is too big. ODLH, like Floyd, started at 130, then ODLH fought Hopkins at mw, but Floyd has never had ODLH's warrior spirit when it comes to seeking out tough fights. Pacquiao started at 106, for him to fight a big, powerful mw would just be stupid.

    Pacquiao was hit by every fighter he fought with. Not only Margarito did that to him but others did the same to him as well.

    I don't expect either to fight him. But if I had to put money on it I'd go with Floyd. Top Rank is more heavy into keeping fights in house. Dibella and Arum hate each other. And Martinez actually has great chance to win.

    As long as a fighter isn't associated with TR they have a chance to face Floyd in the ring.

    I think Manny will def. take the fight at 150... A Martinez at 154 will def. be avoided by Floyd right now and Manny as well, but let Martinez tell Floyd he will face him at 150 as well and I bet Floyd will at least think about it and perhaps even take it...

    Many people thought that neither Floyd nor Pac would fight Martinez. I don't agree with that. Martinez's last offer is to come down as low as 150 to fight either one of them. Besides, Martinez won't be in a big advantage if he has to make 150 pounds. Weight drained and dihydration can cost him the fight.

    Sadly boxing is a business and Floyd and Manny know that any fighter at this point will agree to any demands they have to get that one big payday and recognition...

    Probably Mayweather.
