    Floyd and Manny weigh the same. They are functionally the same size.

    The difference in physical size between Marquez and Mayweather is smaller than Sergio and Mayweather. Floyd is walking around just above 150 and is fighting at 147-154..Marquez himself is walking around near 150. Sergio is walking around near 180 lbs...and he's not soft.

    He has no pride as a boxer; he wants the easy, big money fights. He doesn't want to fight people that could beat him, so he will try to pick fights with big names that come in small packages.

    He is an opportunist coward. The thing is, he is also a great boxer. What a goddamn shame...

    That would prove absolutely nothing; I wouldn't think any less of Mayweather if he lost to Martinez at a higher weight and I wouldn't think any better of Martinez for beating him at that weight. Now, if Martinez beat Mayweather at WELTER I would be impressed. I would love to see him try that...

    he is a small MW who will never be able to fight above 160, that is why.

    The best part about all these clowns talking **** calling him a ***** and acting like he is doing nothing but calling out Floyd and Pac. I could understand if he was talking easy fights fighting bums hoping to fight Floyd or Pac but he fights top guys constantly. He's doing his thing he's not feasting on tomato cans just hoping for a shot.

    Dzindiruk was the long time wbo 154 champ
    Macklin should have been the wba champ.
    Barker is his worst opponent but he is a young defeated well schooled fighter who is top 10 and will be for a long time.
    Chavez 190 pound wbc champ.

    What the **** does it matter who he calls out when he is fighting top fighters?
