    This fight is getting lesser and less attractive to me.I know people want to see floyd get challenged but this guy is a middleweight,if anything he should try his hand at 168 and stop chasing the big pay day with Floyd or Pac.

    Its basically a lose/lose for Floyd. Fight this guy at 154,Sergio comes in weight drained,Floyd kicks his ass,and now its like Pac-DLH,his win would be questionable

    Other scenario move to 160,which I don't think Floyd can comfortabley make,he already looks kind of sluggish at 154,Just not a smart right,might as well go see Ward at 168 and then Dawson at 175 if people really think floyd can be competitive at 160.

    He's right. . . Martinez is not a "small MW' like some people make out. . He USED to be when he first moved up to fight PW there, but then in the Pavlik fight, there was a noticeable difference in his body mass. . . Since that time, he's pretty much been a full blown "natural" MW. . . Not big, nor small.

    I think he could still make 154, but he'd have to do some cutting. . .

    it wouldn't really be fair to either FLoyd, or Sergio. . . Sergio drains himself to make 154, or Floyd has to give up RIDICULOUS amount of weight by coming up to 160. . .

    If Sergio was so "natural" at 154, he would have opted to keep the 154 pound WBC belt, rather than the 160 after beating Pavlik. . . Or at least gone back down to 154 ASAP. .
