    why doesn't Manny want Sergio??

    Sergio called Manny a joke:lol:
    He called Floyd the best:yep

    I bet Manny wishes he accepted that 5050 split and 14 day cutoff.

    Pac wants to fight Void, but Void is extremely afraid of Pac. Void is a coward.........Martinez said he would come down to 154 to fight Void, but Void refused. Golovkin said he would go down to 154 to fight Void, but Void refused to fight him. I though Void was supposed to have been the 154 lbs. champion? Void could not even knock out the woman be beat up!

    Martinez isn't even a draw, Mayweather doesn't need Martinez - it's the other way round.

    Mayweather can fight guys who are less risk - and make double the money, close thread.

    Which help dictate size - but not exclusively, many factors involved

    Floyd proclaims himself 'TBE' the best ever, but why doesn't the so called best ever even entertain fighting the middleweight champion of the world at 154, where said TBE has fought on numerous occasions.
    Those of saying Pac should fight Martinez instead are forgetting that Pac has only fought above 147 once & after that fight said he will never fight at that weight again as thats his limit and the guys at 154 are just too big for him, whereas Floyd has fought at 154 numerous times & looked comfortable.
    As for Cotto, he was naturally bigger than Floyd when they where both younger, he may be thicker set BUT he is shorter, with a shorter reach & is just not anywhere near Floyd in terms of skill & talent, so surely if Cotto can go to 160 then whatever Cotto can do Floyd can do better?

    Iv no idea on the weights but cotto and floyd both fought at the 96 olympics i believe? if not they both went to the oympics, cotto fought at a higher weight. This shows you naturally he's a little bigger than floyd.

    Ok then floyd now says he will never fight at 154 again so like pacman. That makes it all ok yeah? & he hasn't looked ok, the size difference where evident in both the cotto and de la hoya fights, canelo just didn't use it and fought the wrong gameplan. He played into floyds hands.

    That's a stupid argument, Pac fought 1 fight above 147 & struggled due to the size difference. Floyd has fought 3 times at 154 & won each time convincingly, had Floyd said after the De La Hoya fight that the weight was too much & he wont fight above 147 again then fair enough, but he didn't & proceeded to fight at that weight twice more.

    I love the logic on here,

    'Sergio is too big for Floyd , but Floyd would still find a way to win'

    Utter bull**** , Floyd fights hype jobs and washed up fighters , nothing more , nothing less.

    At what point does Martinez vs Floyd make sense lol

    Martinez should fight at 154 and get big wins there then it makes sense
