    Either would be idiots to fight Sergio Martinez. The only fight that Sergio is going to get now is Sergio Martinez vs. Paul Williams III.

    They would both beat Martinez. Williams should not be fighting above 150.
    He really ****ed up because Williams at 150 is a brutal fight for Floyd or Manny. I don't think Manny or Floyd will be wide open like Williams was for Sergio.

    PW gives up his height at the high 150's has to sit on his punches more get closer in to get more power compared to him as a WW where his size and range kept him the most feared fighter till he moved up.

    Sergio toyed with Kelly Pavlik... a guy that KO'd Miranda and JT...

    If he fought Floyd or Pac Man... it would be ab training letting them punch him until he decided he was ready to go to the bar.

    Kelly has no footspeed. Manny and Pac would make Martinez virtually powerless. He swings and misses as well so both Manny and Pac as counterpunchers would have a field day. Sergio is great but Manny or Floyd would be a disaster for him.

    I can't see Pac or Void beating Martinez. I want to see the coward Void step up and fight Pac. Pac by knockout.

    A disaster until he caught one of them ala Shane on Floyd. If Sergio had cracked Floyd like that... Zab Judah would be in good company and have chicken dance competition.

    Man they would both win easy.
    The one time Pavlik did anything was when he threw a lead right. It landed.
    believe it or not nobody from his corner told him to throw it even after it landed. Every single time besides that 1 time Kelly threw the jab first. Martinez is wide open for straight rights. he has little power on his right hook. The angles he used vs Williams to the side would be neutralized by footspeed. He had seconds to lean in vs PW who did not use ring smarts.
    Manny's lead left and May's jab to body would keep Martinez telegraphed all fight.

    I don't really see this as a boxing forum anymore... that's why I don't post much. I'm not sure what people here see. Boxing is not WWE.

    154 I'm more inclined to think Floyd would have a better shot than Manny based on styles.

    Im not sure why posters believe Sergio would be drained @ 154 when he just fought there last year.

    manny could fight him at 154. Even giving up the weight.
    Martinez has a thing where he touches his nose. Everytime he does that Manny could hit him with a right hook.
    Sergio also does not punch well when he moves.
    A really slick boxer and great counter puncher would make him look old over night. Those r the only 2 that could do it.
    Martinez is great don't get me wrong but his weaknesses would play into both Manny and Floyd's hands perfectly.
    I couldn't see anybody else besides Manny and Floyd beating him right now.

    You saying Pac is avoiding JMM for a third fight at Welter where JMM is the lesser fighter ?
