Over the last few days I have been trying to think who Floyd's next opponent could be, provided Floyd beats Shane Mosley, which i believe he will.
Since Martinez now has the middleweight title, would Floyd be tempted to try claim a title at a 6th weight class?
To me, besides PAC, after Mosley he doesnt have to many options to add to his legacy or make him lots of $$$.
And before people come in shouting Paul Williams I think its clear no WW, including Mosley or PAC, want nothing to do with Paul Williams, not beacuse he cant be beaten but because he is too high risk for a relatively low payday. Only true boxing fans know who he is.
I personally think Floyd takes Martinez as although he is athletically gifted no doubt, Sergio makes fundamental errors and is often off balance. I believe Floyd is faster and smarter and Martinez is not exactly a huge puncher.
Please no trolling like saying he will fight some flyweight blah blah blah those threads are just lame. I just want to see what people think about the above and other credible opponents.
Martinez natural weight is 154. Why would they fight at 156?
Just what i was thinking.
Also im not a big catchweight fan i think its a way for the smaller fighter with the bigger name to gain an advantage in the fight.
'yesir' the reason for Cotto is money. It would generate millions. who here would not watch it.
No Ceilings, Bradley is not a household name so would bring little $$$ imo. And if Mayweather wins a wide UD or comfortable decision, very few ppl will pay $60 again with Mosley.
Any other suggestions?
For somebody who hates Floyd so much, you certainly 'parrot' what you hear him say.
For somebody who licks Floyd's ass,you are certainly not bringing points and only bitch about me being a "hater":bottle:.
Martinez by UD. Old DLH was winning the fight until he gassed. Floyd better stay at 147.
please bann yourself lmao.
and im a fan of martinez but his tricks wont work on floyd. i pick floyd to win on points.
good matchup tho. they can fight at 154 and agree to put up both JMW n MW belts on the line
What does that mean?
DLH was enough washed up or a bum to get outclassed for 12 rounds by a light fisted cat Sturm then koed by Hopkins.
SO OBVIOUSLY DLH was shit at 160,and so average at 154 I guess.
Why is everyone talking about whether Floyd would fight Sergio Martinez?
Why not discuss who we think would win and why?
Why does every thread involving Floyd and Pac have to devolve to this?
Martinez is a far to risky fight for Floyd. If he beats Mosley then does he really want to risk his '0' against a tricky opponent Martinez which wouldn't generate masses of money either? I dont think it would ever happen for all the right reasons. Think about it
Martinez murders Floyd,it ain't even competitive.
Floyd look like god against slow mex fighters,brawlers like Corrales,Hatton or an old post sturm DLH.
But if he faces,a bigger,in his prime,fast,slick southpaw(we know he troubles with that style)like Sergio,he get that first L.
Judah was beating Floyd,but he's a 6 rounds fighter(not enough heart,brain and gas).
I'm not saying Martinez is a better P4P fighter than Floyd,but Martinez is bigger,really good unlike most of Floyd opponents,and his style his all wrong for Floyd.
Floyd wil never pick Martinez.
Floyd picks smart.Mosley is a smart picking,a gift,P4P number 4 tough he get beat by Cotton 3 years ago(laughing),twice by Winky,15 monthes lay off,40 years old,wild coming forward fighter.
FACTS.
What does that mean?
'Jrosales13', not trying to sound condescending but you say fighting him makes no sense. If he could win the MW title that would be massive imo. The haters could say all they want to after that but they would just look silly.
Anyone else make a suggestion to who he fights after Mosley, except Paul Williams for the earlier stated reasons.
Cotto @ 147 I think could be the front runner if both win their fights. Make alot of money.
Thanks for all the positive feedback. Been no stupid May/Pac insults back and forth which are just retarded at this stage.
If he doesnt fight Pac he'll fight Shane again or he can go for Bradley.

Winning the MW title would be huge for his legacy you right about that.

difference is leonard had losses. i dont think floyd risks his zero for the amount of money martinez would bring, a 147 fight would make more sense honestly. in a 147 fight, i think floyd out skills martinez to a ud but at i 154 i have martinez by decision.
I don't think he should fight him either. It makes no sense too unless Floyd will start campaigning at 154. I was just playing along with the question.
