    Manny is a very dangerous fight, thats not what Im saying at all. Martinez is a more dangerous fight.

    Again awesome point. Makes total sense, except Donny Lalonde was no Martinez. Will history remember that? Tough to say, maybe not. So you might be right. I still say Martinez is better for legacy based on the level of danger.

    This is easy its Manny. As of right now history wont even remember Martinez. He is not top 100 fighter ever. The dude beat a Drunk and a guy who cant avoid a overhand right. Martinez is not even a hall of famer as of now.

    Manny is a top 60 fighter ever no matter what the haters say. History is going to look back on Floyds resume and be very very kind especially if Pac is on there the list is impressive. Even though we know Pac is going to get his ass whipped by Mayweather. And Martinez fight there are a lot of unknowns because of size.

    id like to see the manny fight alot more but the martinez fight would be a fight ill look forward to watching big time!

    Its such a shame these 3 fighters are not in their 100% prime anymore, and with each day passing is a missed opportunity

    Martinez, beating a great bigger man (by far) is better than beating a smaller man even though he is one of the greatest he is still in a style disadvantage

    Manny without question. Every time you mention Manny, Floyd is right after and vice versa. Their linked. Martinez isn't a for sure hall of famer. Manny is and he is a atg.

    Martinez is a mountain neither Pac nor FLoyd are willing to climb. As it stands right now a victory over Martinez would trump any of Pac's victories and would
    without a doubt move FLoyd ahead of Pac.

    Beating Pacquiao will elevate Floyd's reputation and resume to great heights, but beating Martinez will elevate him his reps but not that high.

    Martinez. Beating the best fighter at a weight class higher than yours is much better than beating the best fighter who's smaller than you.
