Martinez is to big to fight a legit WW. Floyd has been weighing in at 146. He came in against Oscar at 148. He is not a big fighter. He looks bigger than what he actually is because of his physical condition. Pacquiao is an easy fight for him. Manny's dumb a$$ blocks punches with his face and that's always a prelude to being shutout by Floyd. And all those wild a$$ punches that Manny throws.... he won't hit Floyd with that sh%t. Manny's big a$$ head will be snapping backwards and sideways all night. But... that's what they fans want to see. It's also the biggest fight that can be made so I say it's the only fight that makes sense for him right now.
My money is on Amir Khan in 2011. Mayweather knows he can KO Khan and it's a fight that would generate a lot of money.
I think he'll retire. Right now I can't imagine Floyd fighting anyone other than Pacquiao, and since for one reason or another that fight's not happening, I think he will just retire for good unfortunately.
He was unable to make 144 for the Marquez fight! I think that he was well over 150 at fight night for the Mosley fight. He is a true WW now
Can't see him retiring. He loves money too much to retire and it won't be long before he's skint again.
I know, but I just can't see anyone out there for him. Well, obviously I can, I just can't see him making a fight with anyone :-(.
He fights once a year and takes tune ups too. So it will be a "tune up", then another year of "not having the urge", then another "tune up", then retire. He will never fight Pacquaio, that is for certain.
Him being unable to make 144 doesn't have anything to do with my point. I just said that he's a legit WW. I doubt that he was over 152 against Marquez. My point is that he's a WW that's not big enough to fight at 160.
