Why would Floyd (5'8", 72") fight JMM (5'6.5", 67") but not Martinez (5'10", 75")?

    question is can martinez make 150? can margo make 150? it's as simple as that. pac has been interviewed that if martinez can make 150 then they can fight. pac set's his limit to that weight and i think it's quite fair when he won't even reach that weight during fight night.

    now the question is, why wouldn't floyd fight martinez when he actually said that he wants the winner of martinez-williams and had actually fought on the exact 154 limit before?

    Since when is Margarito a middleweight that doesn't even fight as low as 154 anymore, and weighs 170lbs on fightnight? :huh

    Manny chose Margo over Martinez because he doesn't know who Martinez during that period.

    There was a video of Manny watching Martinez on TV and he seemed to have no idea who Martinez was at that time.

    Legacy wise I think fighting Martinez seems like a good choice for Manny but health wise no.

    Mayweather only takes fights were he has every intrinsic advantage humanly possible. Why would he actually take a fight he could lose?

    Him and that whole pack of dysfunctional jackals that comprise his clan are a microcasm of what is wrong with the sport and life in general...

    But he made the welterweight limit easily. He just wants every advantage possible, and is so prodigal with his money, if that's all it takes to win, he'll pay a little too. I think he could have made 144 but took advantage of that situation, too.

    Void wants to beat up women, not anyone who can fight back, not at all! Roger taught Void how to beat up women!

    If that's true, then why is Pac fighting his last opponent.

    Well margo can make 150, possibly 147 too. Can martinez do the same? No so STFU
