    well look at Pacquaio. Look at Leonard, even Oscar would go up a 6th weight division.

    Floyd wont cause he might lose.

    He's just not gonna press his skills against a dangerous challenge like that.

    I actually think he would outbox Martinez easily enough.

    5 division, 7 time world champ, son.

    he max's out @ 151 pounds on fight night and has won 2 154 lb belts.

    try again :hi:


    you can't say the same for ALOT of other fighters.

    He's not ALOT of other fighters or normal world champs. He's a P4P boxer and to rank him with other ATG fighters he is compared to them naturally.
    If you see him that way of course.

    He's got the skills to beat the like of Maritnez and he should take a risk.
    Oscar tried against Bhop.

    You dont have to rattle off silly stats to me.

    Do you think he can beat Martinez ?

    Martinez hurts him... Maravilla is unorthodox, southpaws can trouble PBF and Sergio is very unorthodox. Plus he can crack... Mosely hurts PBF, Maravilla finishes him :)

    He also put a rush on that Duran rematch, knowing full well that Roberto had ballooned up in weight and would not be at 100% after sweating back down to 147.

    it's not about whether he beats him or not. it's that no welterweight should be accused of ducking a Middleweight.

    is this era really that pathetic that people demand these circus match ups?

    or is it just the desperation of seeing Floyd fight outside of his comfort zone and losing? :think


    also, how come Martinez get's a pass for not wanting to fight Ward? theyre only one division apart.

    Because he brags he`s all that ! And he does not win impressively against top tier, prime fighters. Please no shopworn Cotto references. He won`t tale on the Trut/Alvarez winner and you know it. When was the last time he fought someone who actually had the chance to beat him? And it`s not because he`s that good. he carefully selects the least imposing challenge to fatten his wallet and protect that 0.
