    Floyd to stop Martinez, you are asking to much, any win vs Martinez is great win(if not robbery or weight drained Sergio)

    None of those fighters you named are hall of fame fighters. Tszyu is but he wasn't near his prime when Floyd got to 140. Marg and Cotto are no wear near. Same applies to Paul Williams. Come on now, you know Mosley was complaining about his tooth when he was asked about facing Floyd.

    IMO if he beats Manny then yes he will be. If Floyd has Manny on his resume then he would have beaten 19-20 world champions by the time he retires. He would be a 4 time lineal champ in 5 weight classes also.

    of this era? it would take nothing, he already is the best of this era without doubt.

    to crack top 10 of all time? Martinez Pushes him from outside the top 30 to inside top 25), Pac (pushes him from top 25 to top 15) and whoever is top dog out of the remaining 154 and 147 fighters.

    Castillo and Corrales were prime and likely make the HOF. Judah was prime and may make the HOF. DLH was the same age as Marquez was in his second fight with Pacman. Marquez was a couple of years older than when Pacquaio got a controversial decision against him and a couple of years younger than Pac getting another very controversial decision against him

    $8m as part of a 3 fight deal, which would tie Mayweather to Arum for 2 fights after earning $7m for Cotto and $6m for Hatton - according to Arum's press release. At the time it was supposed to be a good deal. Under the deal Arum publically said a Delahoya fight would be unfeasable

    Mayweather probably made 6m against Baldomir, 20m against DLH and 20m against Hatton. Did he make the right or wrong choice?

    Floyd will never get into the top 10. I'm a fan also but I just don't see it.

    so now Floyd gets full respect off of Marquez win? WTF?
    Floyd wasnt the guy fighting a perfect fight for 12 rounds last saturday people it was ****ing Marquez. Thats the thing...Floyd might be the best of our generation but he hasnt tested himself.
    Did he TKO Cotto?
    Did he Knock the **** outta Williams?
    Did he fight Margarito?
    Has he fought Martinez?
    Has he fought Pacquiao?
    I would shut the **** up until he proves himself worthy...

    see the problem with what you just said is that, no matter who he beats he will never get the respect simply because people dont like him. This has been a recurring problem with floyd haters since.

    I always hear people downplaying Diego sanchez , and the aturo fight like they were bums, and there are so many others. So after he beats pac decisively they will come up with another excuse not to give him credit just because people hate his guts.

    and lets be serious margarito/cotto would get schooled , those are Class b and c fighters that we just dont need to see.

    His is already the best of my era (IMO)

    So he needs to do nothing.

    However i would love to see him take on Martinez to shut up the haters. The pac fight has lost some steam now.

    Cotto....he would beat now and would destroy in the past prime for prime

    Marg....The same

    Pac...... CLose call i agree but after recent events i lean toward PBF

    Martinez..... This IMO is his toughest fight

    Williams....... Williams has and never will bring enough money to the table for it to be worthwhile, but i agree this is possbily anohter tough fight prime for prime. But again you have to lean towards Floyd.

    beat Manny Pacquiao-Floyd should of gotten the official title back in 2010 but THE PAC HYPE WAS AT IT'S HEIGHT AT THAT TIME N THEY GAVE IT TO THE WRONG GUY.

    BEAT PAC AND HE'LL BE CONSIDERED THE BEST IN THIS ERA.

    Stop dreaming, the only thing Floyd will going down in this era is a duck and there's nothing he can do about it. He can't rewind back to the days when Cotto was undefeated and Margarito was vicious. Even if he beats PAC now it won't be the same as if he was to fight PAC right after PAC va Cotto. For a man who has the best skill of this era it's a shame to see him go down like that. Floyd will always be behind PAC, there's a reason why Floyd didn't win TFOD.

    It is between Mayweather and Jones. If Jones's prime is considered part of this era.
