I just dont think he would fight him 1st. He's a smaller guy and had 1 fight at 154 a million years ago. I think the difference between Sergio & Cotto is that Sergio can fight comfortable at MW, Cotto spent a ton of time at WW, Cotto is a righty, and Floyd feels that is a safer fight out the 2 "right now". The same goes for Canelo. I think Floyd still is uncertain in his mind about 154. The same goes for his handlers. Therefore, you wanna test the waters 1st. To me, I have no doubt in my mind that if he were to fight a Cotto or Canelo at 154 right now, won comfortably, and felt fine with the weight, then he would be way more open to a fight with Sergio there. He just dont wanna do it now without testing it out 1st. People make too big of a deal out of the 150 statement. Trust me, if he dominates Cotto or Canelo at 154 then he would be open to the Sergio fight at that weight. Its one of the reasons why I wanna see him fight a Cotto or Canelo. Not so much for those fights but it gets us closer to the Sergio fight because Floyd would then be clearly more aware of what he's capable of at that weight. Right now he's in the dark with it a lil and he is not dumb enough to use Sergio as the measuring stick, unless it was the only fight out there left but he still has plans to fight Pac. I personaly think that he & his team think they can beat Pac & Sergio but they would feel much more comfortable with more rounds 1st since the Ortiz fight didnt go long and they would feel better about Sergio with a tester fight at 154. I think if he doesnt spend a crazy amount of time in jail then you will hear Floyd screaming like never before to fight Pac as he wont have anymore rust, and if Pac doesnt want it then he would be extremely open to a Sergio fight at 54(unless Khan has a great win at WW and seems ready to fight ASAP)
thats how you know there are too many weight divisions and too many belts...if the argument is sergio is too big at 154 for him, then it tells you he cherry picked DLH because he was 154, but a 154 guy who was 2-2 in his last 5 and was nothing but a name by that time
Everyone thinks some how Mayweather will opt to fight Martinez at some point. Get this out of your heads. It will never happen
:rofl Del la hoya last lost was to ****ing bernard hopkins who was a god damn middleweight The reason why floyd took the fight was because the risk was worth the reward. I.E The money he could make in that fight. Martinez brings nothing to the table for floyd to risk losing to the much bigger man.atsch
If Sergio gets beaten and bloodied and wins a razor close decision in his next fight, then this fight could be made at a 150 CW.
