    Why has this fight disappeared? 154 or slightly lower catchweight is feasible

    I would love to see this fight. Martinez is a completely different animal to the likes of Victor Ortiz.

    because Floyd is not doing it and Martinez is two weight classes bigger.. Tell Sergio to fight people one weight class higher

    sergio called him out and they followed it up. ortiz was 164 lbs and they said they could make that weight. hatton, jmm, and shane all called floyd out and they got the fight smoothly and easily. well, sergio's calling him out. that's what you all say that's needed to get a fight with floyd right?

    floyd just knocked out a 164 lb ortiz with 2 perfectly timed punches. surely martinez is having 2nd thoughts about fighting floyd.

    I'm confused ... isn't that exactly what he's done? Sergio was a 154 fighter and is now fighting 160s and negotiating with 168 pound fighters to find willing opponents. And it's not like Martinez is a big guy.

    Mayweather vs Martinez at somewhere around 150-154 seems like a reasonable ask.

    Martinez would struggle badly to make a weight below 150. I'd love to see Martinez fight Floyd at 154 though. I'm confident Sergio would take it.

    :lol: Ortiz has been knocked down and stopped by Junior Welterweights. Perfectly timed punches? Are you mad? Ortiz wasn't even fighting at that point in time. Floyd literally had two free shots at a fighter who wasn't defending himself. Of course he was going to knock him out. Although, in my opinion at least, Ortiz was very capable of getting back to his feet.

    I aint said **** have sergio go down and fight at 147 win against a top 5 fighter at that weight class and then try to get a fight with Mayweather. Until then no go.

    no you're not stooping to have sergio be drained. let the fight be at 154, a familiar ground for both. it's one weight class up. jmm went up two for him and you all say size does not matter. sergio will be moving a lot and floyd has proven that he has ko power on a 164 pounder.

    154 seems reasonable. Both fighters have fought at that weight.

    Floyd has never weighed in at 154. He went up to get a big fight once. I didnt say **** about what JMM did stop trying to put words in my mouth. Sergio either goes and proves himself at 147 or goes up in weight for a big fight. He brings nothing to the table.

    Martinez said he could get to 150 if Void would fight him, but don't hold your breath, Void is void. Void refuses to fight Pac..........................Void is a woman beater!
