I go for Martinez tko'ing Floyd. May can't outbox him his reach isn't long enough and that's all Floyd does now so he will kiss the canvas by a mean right hook.
What would be a better dress rehersal (for a fight with Pacquiao) than a fight against Sergio Martinez? ... It would be for the WBC light middleweight title ... he's a southpaw ... and Mayweather can face a bigger guy. I don't like the idea of him fighting Malignaggi, Campbell, Bradley, or anyone under the 147 lb limit, no matter if they are former champions or not. This isn't getting him ready for the bigger fights or fighters. I would also like to see him fight Kermit Cintron if possible ... or someone like Carlos Quintana.
PBF fairly wide UD. That's what makes PBF so terrible. He will probably beat ANYONE he fights outside of maybe PW, yet he's afraid of fight these guys. And you wonder why people get on him.
No fight is acceptable to me other than the fighters I named. anyone at 140 or under can stay where they're at ... unless Edwin Valero came out of the wood works and got a license to fight in NV. Even then, he's under TopRank.
Oh, just to add, no way PBF fights Martinez. And we all know this. He's a bona fide *****. Someone who has the skills and talent to beat pretty much anyone but afraid to take the risk.
Martinez, SD. I pick Martinez based on his physical advantages, southpaw style and boxing savvy. Though it would be interesting how Martinez would perform against Mayweather whom he would likely have to press the action against rather than fight off the back-foot like he usually does.
I am starting to feel this way...like I have more confidence in him than he does....but he goes for money fights...he is not afraid he just likes to maximize his oppurtunities...moving uo to fight ODLH was a money move but it was not an easy fight...ODLH was far bigger and was coming off a brutal ko of mayorga and was #1 at 154
Mayweather would never take this fight! He would rather fight M. Hatton than to have Martinez beating his ass.
