    No worries about Floyd fighting out of his comfort zone, because he just doesn`t !! he controls that by carefully selecting his opponents... Something the true greats don`t do ...

    again, 5 division champ..

    max's out @ 151 lbs, won 2 titles in the 154 lb division.

    your desperation to see him @ 160 just aint gonna happen, hater.

    and for what? he's the top draw.

    try again :hi:

    Martinez is a true jr middle !! Why would he go up to super middle ?? There`s better fight at 154 and 160... He offered to drop back down for Floyd, but Floyd`s still running. Instead giving the fans what they really want, Guerrero !!

    So how are Trout and Alvarez "top tier"?

    And last I checked, Floyd wasn't in his prime for the Cotto fight, either. You'd think that he's some sort of ageless wonder reading some people's posts.

    Floyd hasn't taken any beatings, but much of what he does relies on reflexes. Even the punches in his arsenal are primarily fast-twitch.

    Floyd is not the fighter he once was. There was no added benefit to fighting Cotto at the current stage of his career.

    Martinez weighs in at super middleweight on fight night but he's a true junior middle :patsch

    This is true. Who else can he fight? All you can ask of him is to fight the top guys at 147. I don't even think he should be at 154, unless he wants to take on another challenge (Canelo, Trout) but we know he doesn't fight for legacy. He isn't fighting Martinez. That would be an even bigger challenge. I don't see anything wrong. I think it's smooth sailings for Floyd, unless something surprising happens where he losses to Guerrero, or Garcia or one of these guys. May can breathe a sigh of relief. I don't see anyone being able to challenge him. At least not anyone who he's willing to fight.

    :rofl:rofl don't give me this "true Jr Middle" crap. that's alread been exposed.

    he offers to come down to 154 for Floyd, but won't do the same for Canelo?

    yeah, true jr middleweight right there. the Jr middleweight division is stacked right now, so why isn't he taking any fights in the jr middleweight division to prove that he can still fight there?

    oh wait...
