    Floyd Mayweather Jr. thinks this will happen in the near future, and will be a good, even match-up.

    :think

    How do you see it?

    Dirrell wide decision in a really ugly fight. No idea why Floyd thinks this would happen though as Dirrell brings literally nothing to the table to anyone.

    Dirrell would take this. Martinez would be very undersized at 168 and would be experiencing something new: a speed disadvantage.

    Seems like he's planning on taking Dirrell's career on a similar route as Jessie Vargas's career... which is strait down the shitter.

    Dirrell was already well on that route before he started hanging around with Floyd.

    Martinez will never take the fight. He's working his way to big paydays there is nothing in it for him money wise and way too risky.

    He's naturally a smaller man fighting most of his fights below 154. Dirrell is massive compared to him and has fought at Lt Heavy.

    Fantasy fight more Floyd bull.

    I actually think Dirrell stops Martinez late as he catches Martinez coming in.

    I like Martinez' chances over Anthony, the other Dirrell, Andre moves too much. Plus, factoring in the big size advantage and Andre might stop Martinez in the late rounds.

    Early results indicate Floyd may have been right about it being a pick'em.

    Yes, Martinez is giving up size and maybe a bit of speed- but Dirrell hasn't faced anyone with his slickness or experience. (and I'm not sure that Abraham's DQ shot on him was all that much harder than Martinez's flush left hand with which PW got KTFO... :think)

    It's a well know fact that Dre Dirrel don't like being hit. And MArtinez is a fast, slick and accurate puncher. He also throws punches from odd angles and with authority.
    In most Dirrel fantasy matchups Dirrel could outbox the tougher guy for 5-7 rds before getting on his cheetah, but vs someone who'd him him early and often....my guess is he'd run from the opening bell.

    Martinez in an ugly Wlad/Haye type fight.:-(

    Direll will murk Martinez.

    people on ESB act as if Direll cant fight and try to hide the fact that he outboxed Froch.

    Direll is too fast too big and too strong for Martinez.
