Martinez said he would fight Mayweather at 154 or even 150, Floyd still refuses! Why?

    Martinez is fighting no names at 160 and Manny is getting knocked out by 39 year old lightweights

    LOL Marquez is light welter officially these days, he holds the WBO belt at 140
    Him and Pac are about the same size in stature, Marquez looked bigger than him in the torso by some way - jeez. Most of Pacquiao's mass is in his calves LOL

    Stop acting like a silly boy :)

    indeed. If Floyd wants to prove that he's a real fighter he should fight Martinez at 154 or 160, otherwise the fight is irrelevant IMO. At 150 Martinez would be drained and lethargic as **** in the fight night, even after the rehydratation ! :yep

    Martinez wants a legacy fight he should go to 168 and fight Ward.

    Because he knows he can't make the weight safely and would be cashing out with ~3-4M against Floyd then retire.

    Floyd doesn't like to take the big-interesting-risky fights where his opponent has real chances of beating him ! He always chooses his opponents carefully and knows how to hype his fights.

    He has to face Trout vs Canelo winner @ 154 and Martinez at 154 / 160 to show that he's the best p4p fighter in the world, otherwise he will be always known as a cherry-picker who didn't fight with a 2008-2009 Pacquiao, Vernon Forest , prime Oscar, Kostya and others !     :yep:deal

    His weight division lacks of dangerous-good fighters, so thats why Floyd has to fight with the top guys from jr MW !
