    if floyd is ducking martinez because he wont go up in weight to 154 to fight him doesnt that mean manny ducked cotto?, because he didnt want to go up to 150 to fight cotto in a rematch instead he took the bradley fight. or is it only ducking when its a fighter you dont like? cuz martinez said he would drop to 150 to fight floyd im sure we can get him to do that for pacman pacman fought at 150 already should b easy right?

    the amount of bias that comes from floyd haters is incredible you guys want to see him lose that bad lol thats incredible he is literally probably the most hated person in boxiing.

    pacman fans you dont want to see floyd fight martinez, remember floyd is "boring". pacman would be the better match up for martinez brawler vs brawler all the action pacman fans can handle

    Floyd is ducking Martinez. Martinez is ducking Floyd, who is also ducking Pacquiao, and Pacquiao is also ducking both of them.

    All of them are ducking me. :deal

    If Floyd wants to be as great as PAC is, he has to move up to heavyweight and knock out Monte Barrett. As far as popularities, Floyd is miles ahead of PAC. When Floyd fight it's always a complete package that include free room, free buffet, and even a free limo ride from the airport. PAC wish that he can do that.

    Yes, Duran, Napoles, Armstrong, Robinson, Trinidad, Leonard, De La Hoya(catchweight), and many other great Welters moved up to 160 and fight the #1 guy at that divisions. Floyd isn't even fighting the #1 guy at 154. Top 6 yes, not #1.

    After the Floyd fight at 160, Martinez should fight Hopkins, many other Middleweights have moved up to 175 to fight the#1 fighter at that division.

    The difference between the two is: Floyd has actually gone up to the weight Martinez wants him at, and is fighting someone else. Whereas Pacquiao has NOT gone up to where Cotto wants him. He said he can’t fight above 147, and so is remaining there. You’d have a point if Pacquiao, after refusing Cotto at 150, went up there anyway and picked on somewhere else.

    Not that it matters, anyway. Floyd has no problem fighting Cotto at 154 because he knows it’s more a less a fight between two welterweights. Martinez has huge size/weight advantages, brings no money to the table (compared to Cotto), and is just a really high-risk, low-reward opponent that’s not an absolute necessity to take on. His legacy/reputation is hardly going to take a hit for bypassing a middleweight.

    wrong i'm not even a hard core boxing fan but i know he fought marg at 150 so yes it is the same but thanks for trying. pacquaio said hes not comfortable going up to 150 so he wont be fighting there anymore if floyd said that after the cotto fight you guys would never let him live it down yes or no? be honest, be a man about it at the very least dont even think of it as admitting your wrong to a floyd fan cause I'm not, I'm a fan of boxing and I'm going to start calling both floyd and pacman fans out on there complete and utter bias for the two fighters

    2 fighters cannot duck a man that is 2 weight classes above them, simple as that!!!

    Floyd and Pac are welterweights
    Martinez is a middleweight that could easily move up to SMW.

    Huge size differences there. The only ducker out there is Martinez, nobody wants him at MW so he should move up and face stern opposition from the bigger guys.

    He fought Marg at 150 back in 2010, and immediately vowed never to go up in weight again. He made this decision 15 months before Cotto even asked him to come back up. Whereas Martinez has been calling Floyd/Pac out at 154 for over a year, and then Floyd goes up to 154 to not face him. Surely you can see the difference there?

    Not like I give a toss, anyway. It's ridiculous to suggest a welterweight is ducking a middleweight.

    **** thread.

    floyd said he will fight the sergio/williams winner, but was silent after sergio ko'ed wiliams. floyd is not ducking sergio, just a memory gap or amnesia.
