    Apples and oranges my man. Floyd started at 130 Leonard at 147. Leonard was a harder puncher and more athletically gifted. While both are 5 division champs Floyd didn't need a catch wieght to do it. I swear that Lalonde fight made me hate all catwieghts. Anyway Leonard fought way better competition has a better resume, and is higher P4P. Floyd is the true 5 division champ of the two, though.

    The only reason I want this fight is because Martinez deserves a mega event/payday before retirement.

    If Martinez can make 154, he would be fighting there now because there is more money there. A fight against Angulo can give him more paper than anyone at 160 not named chavez.

    Andre Ward and GGG in a year would be Martinez's best options. The Floyd fight would never happen.

    How is Floyd not a small WW. You've got guys like Ortiz and Berto and other fighters weighing in at 164 167 on fight night while Floyd weighs 149-150. He's small.

    I know SRL is a legend and his resume is way above Mayweathers but Mayweather right now will be a favorite against anybody so why not go up to 160 where he will have a challenge

    A win over Martinez or really any middleweight champion would estlablish him as one of the best ever.
