Would Martinez start as favourite against Mayweather?

Mayweather TKO 11

 

No

Id say he would be the closest betting favourite against Floyd since Castillo 2 but not quite as favoured as he was IMHO

Bear in mind Castillo (1) and Corrales went in favourites against Floyd

 

I think the odds would be close very close at 154

 

Only conceivable way Martinez might be a favorite amongst the betters is if the fight is at 160, but even then Floyd may be the fav to win based off principal of him beaing undefeated.

 

I think Martinez has all the assets and easily could win, but this is Mayweather we're talking about. He could fight Wlad right now and be the betting favourite.

 

Noone will ever be a favourite against Floyd.

 

They would be even money at best.

 

Probably even money.

 

Do you just make it up as you go along? Castillo was a MASSIVE underdog going into the first fight with Mayweather. I specifically remember in the later rounds the HBO commentary saying how Castillo had now won on all of their score cards and going into the fight everybody was saying Castillo had "sold his belt" by taking the fight. Some people on here honestly. atsch

 

Yes, but because of name value not fight reality.

I'd pick Floyd on points at 154 BTW.

 

I remember that too.

As far as the OP. Yes Martinez would be the favorite. Bookies and PBF aint dumb. That is why if the fight got made Martinez would be favorite and well PBF would not make the fight because of that.

I have always said Martinez would whoop up on PBF at 154. Martinez not only has amazing power and speed but he is surgical like PBF. Alot of adjustments are made throughout his fights.

 

Mayweather would make Martinez look bad just like macklin and barker did for 10 rounds
