Why Mayweather beats Sergio Martinez

People should post technical arguments and comments addressing the issue or leave. Talk about whether the fight would happen or other fantasy fights or who you think is overrated elsewhere.

 

Mayweather won't fight him.

Maravilla will be another boxer who the Mayweather joy boys will say he would have beaten had the fight happened.

 

If Floyd EVER fought Maravilla, I would ban myself from here.

But guess what, *****s? THAT AIN'T EVER GONNA HAPPEN. HE WILL NEVER FIGHT HIM.

 

It would be a hell of a fight either at 154 or even at 160 reason the main cause both fighters are athletic and r technically sound. I don't believe Floyd will go that way cause Pacquiao is a good selling event and Pac is surely beatable now. I also believe Floyd would beat Martinez basically cause Martinez would not go for the big punch right away so to see him start going at it, he would have to dictate the pace and control the tempo. Having said that, Martinez never gets going in that fight cause he doesn't push Floyd back with a jab or a lead left right down the pipe consistently but only in spurts whereas Floyd builds his lead and takes control of the fight gradually. What I am saying here is that technically Floyd beats Sergio to the punch and Sergio would have to load up with his punches better early than never like Shane and Zab did... I surely can't see Sergio outboxing Mayweather, as simple as that.

 

i swear to god if this fight happens and Martinez is the underdog i'm making serious money

 

Godd stuff BB and Bogo. I myself am looking to pick Martinez due to his higher output and movement, especially out of the Southpaw stance where his jabs would definitely trouble Floyd regardless of his philly shell or high guard stance.

Really want this fight badly.

 

Sergio's right hook is a bigger danger to Mayweather than the left hand, which would only be a threat for 4 rounds.

 

You're underrating Floyd to much in fantasy fight...you shouldn't be a ***** because you're a disgrace to Floyd . Floyd could beat the like of a prime Tyson, why would he want to beat Martinez .

 

That's not a right hook coming from Marquez, that's just a slightly looping straight right. He's right handed (unless he was fighting in the SP stance at that time). Good thread though!

 

Why, cause we're right?

Do you really think Floyd will fight Maravilla when he won't fight Pac? Maravilla offered an 80-20 split with testing.

Bye ***** ******:hi:

 

Excellent thread with some superb posts.
Can't help thinking Bogo's right about Floyd not coming forward though.I think he'd walk right into trouble going down that road,whereas I think standing off would allow him to pick off Sergio's weird head positioning once he found his rhythm.
Worth bearing in mind that it's 154 Floyd though,and that's a totally different fighter when trying to predict the outcome of a Floyd fight,and he's not as mobile on his feet,so they're coming together in the centre much more than in lighter Floyd fights.
I agree with bball that a high guard may be necessary at times though,and he'll be watching for that right.
BUT..
Here's why I think Martinez puts up a good show;He has an excellent grasp of distance,and too many people are caught up in the Oscar fight as the only way to beat Floyd.For me,the trick would be not to smother him off the jab,but to step away after the jab and in particular,the clinch and pick your shots on the way out.
It's Martinez' ability to step back and away that makes this fascinating for me.I reckon Floyd can see most combinations coming,and Sergio's ability to be very unorthodox is what gives him a fighting chance here.
Floyd will engage a lot more than he used to,but I still think he has to go back to the old school in this fight because coming forward all night is exactly what Sergio would want.
I just don't buy into this smothering stuff.It'll take a lot more than that to beat Floyd over 12.Who gives a **** if it works for three rounds?

 

but that is ONLY due to size put him in Zab Judah body(who is the same size as Floyd) an its a mismatch and everyody would be saying how much of a mismatch this is and how martinez keep his hands to low etc.
