This sort of reminds me of when RJJ could have possibly faced Lewis, and although I would have obviously picked Lewis to win, Roy was at a win win situation. You lose (That was expected) you win...THEN DAMN. I know Roy missed out on such an opportunity but I don't want to see Floyd do the same. I'm sick of Pacquiao's excuses, I really don't want to go through that drama again; I'm tired.
Mayweather has nothing to lose here, and Martinez is more a natural Jr MW. Martinez will probably enter the ring weighing 165-168, and Mayweather 155. Great match up, very respectable opponent, I'm 100% sure Martiez will take the test, MAKE IT HAPPEN. Hopefully Pavlik doesn't activate the rematch clause. By the way, I'd lean towards Martinez to win.
Hes also said "the only thing that belts do when its all said and done is collect dust".
True, but he hasn't captured a title at 160. See me, I don't think highly of titles, I honestly don't care. But when someone as good as Martinez is holdin' a title, it's all worth it. I couldn't care less if Mayweather won or lost, I like them both. Just want to see Mayweather make an attempt.

Will never happen..a fantasy match sure but in reality, Floyd is in the chicken coupe for now laying eggs
Mayweather said "It's possible". Only one reason why he would say that...the titles.
Hes also said "the only thing that belts do when its all said and done is collect dust".
Get the fuck out of here with Berto. Lol. Devon Alexander is a bigger threat to Floyd than Berto is, and Berto is even less of a draw than Paul Williams is.
Yup. Berto would land less then Mosley and look like a fool against Floyd.
Yeah, Sergio's not big enough popularity wise to fight Mayweather.
Yeah, but I think just the threat he poses is enough to draw a nice audience. It may only do 1 mil at most, but that's not too bad.
Good thread.
I agree 100%. Packy is made for Mayweather stylistically. Martinez would actually give him a lot of problems and force Mayweather to prove himself.
Martinez by k.o imo.
I know that, You know that, Its time for the rest of the world to know that because many people are not convinced its time to shut this shit up. I was at the bar and a bunch of people were still saying manny beats floyd including two black dudes. Its time to show the world who the real P4P is.
That cut off will come down with some negotiating. Floyd just needs to shame him into playing ball. He can not let manny off the hook. What were the unofficial weights? I missed it.
They didn't weight unofficially. But Mayweather looked in the 150s, hard to tell.
Pacquiao said he wants a 24 day cut off.

Co-sign, though proponents would argue that Floyd already dabbled at 154 when he fought DLH. I just don't see it being a good idea to fight Martinez at this point especially at 160.
And Floyd was 149lbs in the ring at 154...now yall want him at 160 smh P4P SHOWDOWN! The casual fans and manny pac fans will not believe floyd is the better fighter until the ref raises his hand in victory. Its time to put up or shut up. Pac ass on bull shit with that floyd is bigger than me shit. Manny you've been weighing in the 140's in the ring since the lightweights YOU ARE NOT SMALLER THAN FLOYD.
I like the Berto option but we don't know how floyd will perform at 154 or 160 and if he loses it may **** up the pac fight even more but I have no doubt floyd will bust that ass on Berto. Really all that shit isn't necessary we've had enough preliminaries its time for the P4P SHOWDOWN!

Besides a Manny fight and that may already be in jeopardy (again) I don't see it a viable option to go to 160 to fight Martinez and I don't see Floyd calling out P. Williams. Therefore just "off" Berto and use this as a bargaining chip against Manny...

Floyd already had the WBC belt and is the lineal champ at WW berto's fight being a title fight would be irrelevant and he would be the HUGE favorite in that fight. not a money fight

But Devon Alexander isn't gunning for Floyd neither is he gunning for any other elite welter, so Floyd's other option within the division is a title holder in Andre a fight I'd favor Floyd in winning an easy title and a easy payday who can argue against it?

Sergio Martinez should be Plan B
tbh i think martinez is been used as a ploy to get pac to the table. its floyd saying look iv got a meaningful fight wtf have you got without money may
