"IF" ever Martinez and Floyd fight..

Martinez would ko Floyd. imho

 

If he beat Mayweather there would be a rematch for sure and a 50/50 split.

 

No. Unfortunately for Martinez, he is pretty much screwed and cannot become a Cash Cow no matter what he does. The guy could savagely KO Chavez Jr., Floyd, and Pacquiao in a row and he still won't be a cash cow. That's what happens when DiBella promotes you and you don't have an Arum or a DLH giving you that promotional push.

Despite having a fun fighting style and being beloved by women and men alike lol: no homo), the facts that Sergio hails from Argentina (not exactly Mexico, Puerto Rico, Germany, or the Phillipines in terms of providing a built-in PPV audience), doesn't act like a jerk outside the ring to draw attention to himself and get people interested in buying his fight, and can't speak English are all promotional liabilities. That, and he's 37.

No matter what he accomplishes in the sport the next few years, unless he turns out to be nearly immune to aging like Hopkins did for awhile or George Foreman, every promoter will know there won't be much time to make any money off him, hence it wouldn't make sense to invest in him to try and make him into a draw in the first place.

 

If old Mosley almost ko Mayweather, this is what Martinez will do:[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTWylfLdCcc[/ame]

 

Sergio gets out pointed, UD Floyd.

 

If Floyd is scared of a shorty Pac, he would not fight a bigger Martinez.

 

People will believe what they believe. People said he wouldn't fought Cotto, Shane, Ortiz... was scared of Hatton, etc., etc.

Anyway, Martinez would lose. He likes to fight in the middle of the ring, lacks a significant jab and is available to be hit. The only advantage he'd have is size and power, and whens the last time Floyd had a power advantage in the ring?

 

Explain.

Who exactly are you refering to? Barker, a 6 foot 2, solid, big middleweight who fought scared with a high guard, controlled range intelligently, and still got knocked out.

When is the last time Floyd fought an opponent that met this description?

A much bigger, rangier, taller, defensive prone opponent with a solid jab.

Oh, that's right, he's never fought a guy that met this description in his entire career.

Barker still got knocked the **** out, and I don't think he did much to "expose" Martinez.

Of course an undersized guy like Martinez who prefers to counterpunch and fight on the outside, like Mayweather, will have problems with a guy that fits this description.

That's why Floyd Sr said Vernon Forrest would have given Floyd problems.

And what did Macklin expose? All Macklin did was show that Martinez has the patience to apply educated pressure, and still manage to knock his man out late, and not take many shots for his troubles.

So, I have to say, I disagree...
