YADA, YADA, YADA, JUST like you knew he was afraid of Mosley, you picked Ortiz etc. We have heard it all before, spare us the nonsense talk.....Originally posted by D4thincarnation View Post
Floyd can pot shot Martinez to death, because Martinez will be out of his element once hes in teh ring with someone much faster. Hes not used to fighting with his hands up, this in turn will make him hesitant. If you really think someone that fights with their goddamn hands down is gonna whoop floyd you have lost your ever lovin' mind!!! Lemme guess, PAC would walk Martinez down behind a 67" jab huh??
GET DA ****K OUTTA HERE...LMAO
LEMME ASK YOU A QUESTION, AT 154 WHO WINS, SERGIO OR PAC? And how would it play out?Comment

Martinez is easily the bigger man, which makes his hand and foot speed amazing at those weights.
moreso than raw power, its his accuracy that should receive the credit for his knockouts. cintron, williams, dzinziruk and macklin all received blows that landed dang near right on the chin, from an angle just outside their vision or timed to catch them with their head at a certain position (it almost looks like he's aiming at a right-handed fighter's back shoulder), that causes their necks to move violently.
it's not the knockout of a power puncher. that's why fighters can take that same punch for whole fights, he has to get the timing right.
that said, martinez cannot fight on the inside. this reluctance to fight in that range often leads to a lot of those "knockdowns" where he's caught backing out and basically tripped up.
my guess is that he sets up his defensive strategy off tapes and figures out a proper way to get his punches to work most effectively. Those punches are: the jab and the left hand.
the strategy to beat him is simple. be defensively responsible (peek-a-boo would be best). stay within range. counter-punch.
he does get fatigued but mayweather isn't a big enough puncher to wear him down with any effectiveness so the best bet would be to aim for swelling.
that means LOTS of pressure from the opening bell. cutting off martinez's ability to circle how he would like (as circling left goes against convention but keeps the angle to slide that left hand in how he likes it). touch him with the jab four to five times as much as the right hand. throw the right hand like a pitch, stepping forward with it (DO NOT try to throw the right hand and pull back...you'll be back in the locker room before you know it). never allow martinez to lead.
mayweather has the tools to beat him. the only thing i doubt is the size. even making 160 would be a dream for someone of his build. fighting at 160 seems crazy.Comment

If Mayweather beats Cotto he's going to fight Canelo next then Sergio. Let's face it Pac vs May is not going to happen.Comment

If you say so, just remember this thread the day after the Cotto fight when Floyd has a much harder time than expected against Cotto. Martinez would KO Cotto in under 7 rounds.Originally posted by nicamarvin View PostComment
