so can't keep my hands up Martinez is going to be able to outbox Floyd by remaining stationary? Boxing a tactical and economical bout is Floyd's game before it's Sergio's

Floyd has multiple lines of defense and doesn't need to constantly move. Martinez doesn't.

He said he had a hurt knee in the Barker fight or something but I don't know if he just said that, seems pretty honest to me though.

They don't find out just how f*cked up they are until the fight.

Mayweather would never fight Martinez anyways, and he doesn't need to. That said I'd take Sergio UD

When you have a fanbase that once believe Amir Khan was the only fighter capable of testing Floyd, you know full well that a Martinez fight will never, ever materialize.

The biggest flaw in the fight is that Martinez holds his hands low and against a guy who could easily nail him with hinds hands up, while by his side he is target practice for Floyd. If Barker and others could nail him all night, Floyd would land way more precision counters and would not get hit in return. Wide margin for Floyd.

There's no bigger fight to be made for Mayweather right now as far as credibility is concerned.

Floyd might make more money against someone like Canelo, but nobody can give him legitimacy like Martinez can.

Nobody is moving up and beating Sergio, nobody.

Mayweather couldn't get to 154 in either attempt and while he won both fights comfortably, he clearly had some problems with Oscar's size. Sergio is bigger than Oscar, not to mention better, faster, more powerful and harder hitting.

Floyd is the better boxer, but even at 37 Sergio is a better athlete than a 35 year old Mayweather and he;s too big for him.

I agree, Mayweather isn't even considering Sergio, no way no how. Mayweather wants to retire undefeated and he is going to avoid every fighter that has a shot with the exception of Canelo.

Why would a fighter who is a ww champion that fought at 154 twice, both times for money, and has weighed no more than 152 for a fight, consider fighting the MW champion at this stage of his career?

Do you think floyd would fight him if sergio had a history of ppv fights like Cotto?
