    give me a break and Martinez would have an incredibly harder time landing than he did with Barker.

    So Darren Barker is bigger but he has no real power. In all fairness it was obvious sergio had no respect for the power but was having problems with Barkers fundamental boxing skills. I really did think he showed loads of flaws that somebody like Floyd will have a field game with. Ultimately sergio has good speed and that power so it would still make for an interesting fight.

    Really? Barker is 6'1, Floyd is like 5'8. Barker fight night was 168 (bigger than Sergio), but Floyd's was 150. So no, Floyd is definitely not bigger.
    Sergio had trouble getting to Barker because of his height, he had trouble countering Barker because of his height and lack of punch output (which the punch output will be a problem against Floyd).
    Martinez strugged this fight, but I still see a determined Martinez beating at Floyd if they fight around 154. I wish Martinez would have been a little more aggressive to begin with, and he should have thrown even more body shots against Barker, but he did what he had to do.
    I think point wise he could stay close to Floyd, and the power would make the difference.
