This would be pretty badass... See the Guerrero fight isn't all that bad anymore but ONLY if you consider that he will fight Martinez in September.

Have Canelo on the undercard of both fights, and then Floyd can fight him early 2014 if he's still fighting.

yea if he fights only once next year and it's against Guerrero, I'm going from a HUGE Mayweather fan to a normal sized fan

if manny and canelo get their a$$es kicked in their next fights, it'll narrow down Floyd's options making a Martinez bout more likely

This right here was initially my biggest issue. Who in the world would want to see Mayweather win a wide boring UD against Guerrero, and then just retire for another year and a half? That's not good. Hopefully he sticks to his word and fights twice in 2013.

everyone prefers martinez over Guerrero.......

And Martinez should fight Ward if he want to lose the label of a bully..try to fight small fighters like Mayweather and Pacquiao...fight someone your own size like Ward.

Why is it ok for Martinez to fight Floyd but not Ward

Ummmmmmm.......no ****. That's like asking if Bernard Hopkins should've fought Roy Jones when Roy was ducking. Bernard wanted a cw, and everyone wanted to see that fight. Roy had no problems besides the 50/50 split. Won't have the same problems with Martinez.

Edit: worded it wrong. Roy didn't 100% duck.

Well the difference here is that Martinez is willing to fight Mayweather at 154 where Floyd currently holds his WBA title and where Martinez had previously held a title (WBC) himself. Meanwhile, Ward isn't willing to go down in weight to fight Martinez nor is he willing to fight Martinez at a catchweight because 168 is his limit (it's probably true)--he mentioned this in a recent interview.
