MW limit is 160, you don't have to weight at least 154, you just can't weigh more than the limit. I remember all the Pac stans bringing that up with the Cotto - Manny catchweight bs.

Yea, but if you're above 154 then you're no longer in the Jr MW range, so how you can fight for its belt?:think

So it would be for both titles if he was just under the 154 limit.

Martinez can easily be outboxed and countered and PBF has all the tools to do just that. He would nulify all of Martinez's offense and pick Martinez apart since he has terrible defensive fundamentals. It is too big a difference in class.

I also see Martinez getting handled easily if there was a P-Will rematch, especially since I saw that P-Will did enough to win a 7 -5 decision against Martinez their first fight on 2 weeks notice *for Williams*

How can Martinez be easily outboxed?
He has only ever lost to pressure fighters. Otherwise he dominates and beats the opposition.

Martinez looks really good against guys who have less than stellar defense. However, his own defense relies almost entirely on speed and reflexes. He had a huge speed advantage over Pavlik, and yet, Pavlik was able to time him and counter punch in 5 out of 12 rounds. Little Floyd may very well counter punch the **** of of Martinez in 8 or 9 rounds.

I doubt if Floyd would play the fool, head hunt, and lunge in like Pavlik and Williams did. I can honestly see Floyd winning a decision in a fairly uneventful fight. A lot of that would depend on whether or not PBF could retain his speed at the higher weight.

And for what it's worth, I honestly think that if he rematches Williams, Paul will beat him again. Only this time it would not be as close.

If Pavlik exercises his rematch clause, and sticks to the damn fight plan, instead of constantly head hunting, he will probably knock Martinez out.

I've watched Williams/Martinez and Pavlik/Martinez several times. The only reason Sergio finished on his feet either time was because both opponents got stuck on stupid and turned in rather poor performances.

Geez u really turned on Martinez since he beat ur boy uh? How is Pavlik going to beat Martinez?? Its not like MArtinez barely finished. Its Pavlik that barely finished.

And PW got a gift win against a not so well prepared Martinez.

Floyd...i think he does everything better than sergio and sergio dont hit hard at all

Mayweather by clear UD, Martinez isn't in his class. In fact I think Mosley could've been competitive if he was fighting him.

The way I see Sergio winning this is with his right hook.

When Floyd got knocked down against Zab, Zab pivoted from Floyd's right hand and landed his right hook.

A taller, fairly quick and slick southpaw is a nightmare to fight stylistically. Floyd will have to pursue Sergio from angles. A terrific boxing match, IMO.

Did you watch 24/7??? PBF fights for $$ only. After huge paydays for fighting big name like DLH, Hatton, & SSM you honestly think he'd move up in weight to fight a dangerous, mostly unknow ( to the casual fan) fighter for peanuts??

Who has martinez beat other than a drunk flat footed KP??

What the hell are u talking about? Legacy wise this is a great fight for PBF. Lineal champion in yet another weight class against a guy who is not much bigger than himself. Not to mention Martinez would be an easy fighter to market. The latinos i know like to watch this guy fight so he would have their support. He is also a good looking cat so the women are there as a market and he can talk alot of trash (spanish) so that would make it a very good 24-7 for both the latinos and casual fans.

If Martinez was with Oscar the fight would have been seriously looked at.
