Does Floyd have the Sack to Fight to Martinez or Williams...???

Floyd's tune has been about fighting for profit for years. Thanks for noticing.

 

:rofl
yAY Butt we agree! Now we can be friends

 

I would love to see Martinez-Mayweather.

Plus if Mayweather fought him at 160 he could one up Pac and put himself in the drivers seat for the negotiations again. He already one upped Pac by taking the Mosley fight.


Martinez would be a great fight for him. He isnt that big of a guy so the size difference isnt much, he should go for it and become linear MW champ and vacate to face Pac at 147.


Martinez has been used to having a speed advantage against all his opponents, he fights with his hands low and doesnt know how else to fight. He will have problems with Mayweather when he doesnt have the speed advantage and leaves himself open so much. Floyd on the other hand keeps a tight defense, he will counter punch martinez easily.

See Khan-Paulie and Barrera-Hamed for what I am talking about with the fast guys used to fighting with their hands low

 

That low hand style and constantly being off balance will give easy marks for Floyd's jabs and perfectly timed right hands.

 

no, thanks for noticing that I noticed, because I been knew that. the fact is that given the history of the sport, doing this when you're one of the best fighters on earth is utterly gay and a robbery of boxing fans. simply put.

 

Guy, you're ****ing wrong again.
Maravilla puts his hands low because he ****ing can. End. of. Story.

Maravilla, is a distance master and will taunt and counter Floyd all ****ing night.

 

and how does this change the fact that putting your hands down makes it easier for you to be hit?

 

He doesn't even have the balls to fight Pacquio - in his best weight and with all the supposed advantages he has over the midget. So sadly no, especially Martinez.

 

how is fighting berto a joke, hes the best ww out right now.

damn now floyd is ducking the middle weight champion of the world lol.

 

I was about to say how this isn't true, but after taking a look at the cream of the crop at 147, such as it is...yeah, Berto is probably the best after Pacquiao and Mayweather right now.

That's depressing.

I still think in a year's time Mike Jones could clean his clock.

 

Yeah, but Martinez and Williams got into exchanges. Exchanges in which Martinez and Williams both landed hard shots. Floyd wouldn't get into exchanges. Williams would miss and Floyd would hit. Paul's workrate would slow after situations like that. Slow or get knocked out. (who says Martinez is a harder puncher than Floyd?)

 

If you honestly think Floyd is dumb enough to suffer into a taunt from Martinez to get countered, you haven't seen Floyd fight. Floyd is a timing master and will time and counter Maravilla all night.

 

Not in the early rounds, that was a lot of Williams missing and getting countered. Williams didn't slow and as the fight wore on he forced his pace on Martinez and forced him to exchange. I don't think Floyd is willing to commit himself enough in there with his size disadvantage to make Williams slow down or back off. He might make Williams miss more, but he has to extend himself far more than Martinez did to land counters, and Floyd is a safety-first guy. And Martinez to me quite obviously hits harder than Floyd, though he's not a super-puncher by any stretch.

 

wrong again
floyds legacy was established when? when he was a lightweight?

floyd turned pro at the end of 1996

had one true fight that would begin to start a legacy, dismantling corrales the way he did in 2001. the following year (2002) had only 2 fights both against JL Castillo (no secret alot of people thought he got a gift in fight 1.
floyd being a pro for 6 years , in HBO alot and selling less than 1,000 seats for fight 1 and was undercard to wlad-mccline in fight 2.

2003
W12 VICTORIANO SOSA not seeing his cenmented legacy yet
TKO7 PHILLIP NDOU YAWNNNNNNNN

2004 1 fight...chop chop corley
gonna fight 1 time in a whole year...and waste it on that

2005 3 fights
Henry Brussels :-(

Sharba Mitchell- waste of a fight , mitchell shot and no power and just within a year of being knocked out by tszyu. This is about the time floyd should have been aiming for super fights.......Tszyu?? no he fights ****ing sharmba

we can stop there...he was 140 for gatti and 147 for mitchell
i dont see anything close a legacy.........a good fighter, hell yes...legacy? i dont see it :-(

he didnt become a star until or on ppv is that tells you anything until oscar threw him a bone.

 

floyd fought 3 fights at 140
Chop Chop who was already coming in losing his prior fight
Henry Brussels
Gatti- The most exciting fighter in 20 years yes. The best at 140 in his 14th year as a pro? hell no

point is, floyd didnt even fight the best at 140, not even close to it.......

Leonard Dorin was the WBA Champion
EVERYONE wanted the Paul Spadafora fight, undefeated 135 pound champ who moved up in weight
Randall Bailey was knocking people cold
Vivian Harris was actually feared back then.
Kostya Tszyu was still hanging around.....
a YOUNG Sugar Shane
a YOUNG OSCAR
Vernon Forrest

and floyd fights Henry Brussels, Chop Chop and Gatti

at welter he never fought the best they had to offer.... Judah?? everyone wanted to see it, but not after he lost to the slowest 1 dimensional welter on the planet Baldomir. then he fights the slowest, 1 dimensional , 9 loss welter..... and the rest of his brillant moves he managed to fight popular names, just to look pretty on his resume.
from 2007 up are just OVER BLOWN wins ...... against 1 shot guy, a very good but 36 year old featherweight. a very good 39 year old guy he should have fought 5 years earlier....and a good win on a very limited extremely popular hatton
