    if Floyd can somehow bulk up, I think he gives Martinez hell.

    Right now Martinez has something like 15 lbs on Floyd.

    I think Martinez has a legitimate chance at knocking out either Floyd or Pacquiao at 154lbs. The man is impressive on all fronts.

    i think no... Mayweather defense skills make Sergio miss his power shot.. definitely Mayweather bring his A+ game..

    I don't think he'd knock Mayweather out. I think he'd win though. Too big and he's damn good.

    I do think he'd knock out Pacquiao though. Mayweather's defense would be able to keep him alive at least in a loss, Pacquiao would get tagged and go out on his shield.

    For Martinez's title w/ no catchweight, true.

    I think the jab-left hand combo is a serious concern for Floydettes. Look at the left-shoulder-bothered DLH, he took 4 rounds off Mayweather with a crisp jab, and Martinez just outjabbed one of the finest jabbers on the planet. So I definitely think that awesome jab can create an opporunity for a power left through Floyd's guard, but I wouldn't predict a Martinez KO, Mayweather recovers well.

    He'd stop Pacquiao as well.

    Floyd would make damn sure he wasn't KTFO. He'd also make damn sure the fight was at a weight where Martinez wasn't comfortable. Much as I dislike Floyd, I'd give him a real chance of outpointing Martinez at 154 or below. Martinez has never fought anyone with even half the skills of Floyd .

    no-one knocks floyd out given his style, skills and conditioning

    have people forgotten that floyd is hard to hit, i can count the number of times he has been hit and its not many

    is he realy going to stand their like pavlik
    is he going to stick his chin out like pwilliams
    and is he going to plod foward without moving his head like Sergei

    no knock to martinez, great fighter with goods wins, im a big fan, but why do people think he would just bulldoze over floyd!?! i can't see those 1, 2 and 1,1,2 landing without floyd moving out the way

    He's too big for Floyd so theres a good chance he does knock him out if he can land clean at any stage. How about Martinez picks on some 168 pounders instead of Mayweather and especially Pacquiao who arent even big welterweights.

    sergio is one guy in his middle to upper 30's that floyd wont consider fighting....hes not the typical shot guy in his late 30s that floyd likes to cherry pick...he will pound the **** out of floyd
