Floyd coming in at 149-150 and Sergio coming in at 160 would be a huge FOTD type of event and equivalent to RJJ vs Ruiz in terms of accomplishment IMO
He'd get mad props from me if he ever did it.
The Mayweather/Martinez Championship Fight that many are certain will be announced by Floyd this weekend is reportedly not going to be at a catchweight. I believe this. I would be disappointed if this wouldn't be the case. The only thing more disappointing would be if Floyd does not even announce the fight, which I really really hope would not be the case. Mayweather/Martinez will be the fight of the year and it will put Pacquiao to shame.
dude you gotta give us more than this, how are we going to be dissapointed when we've had no reason to believe this going to happen, you need more

video game fight highly unlikely you will ever see it
It's a video on youtube of Chad Dawson training before the Pascal fight and Rafael Garcia Floyd's cutman is asked about Floyd and he says Floyd is always in shape & never stops training & the heaviest he's ever weighed non-training is 152
mayweather doesn't give a damn about a belt...he'll most likely not even fight for a title...won't pay the sanctioning fees for that joint...so why even fight for it?
He won't pay for a title he's already won at a weight class.
I don't see why he wouldn't want to pay the 1% or whatever to be officially recognized as a Middleweight champion should he move up that far. That's a pretty big accomplishment.
Yeah, it'd be equally as shit as Pacquiao-Margarito. Besides, when Mayweather fought De La Hoya he came in at 150, so there's no justifiable reason for a catchweight at MW.
When you move up in weight, let your opponent come in at the limit.

I don't really understand the wisdom of this statement, given that 150lbs is 10lbs below the MW limit.
Regardless, though, I hate catchweights. I'm of the mindset that weight divisions should be acknowledged and not used to gain a sporting edge. And I think this fight - if made - would happen at 154; Floyd couldn't care less about a MW belt.

seriously has anyone really heard anything legit about this fight?
I've yet to see anything anywhere about this fight, Floyd or his camp have never said anything about sergio martinez & sergio has said nothing also
so dont try blame anybody if there is no fight
this must be the best kept secret in boxing
post Mosley fight Floyd said Martinez fight is a possibility and sergio said he would fight Mayweather at any weight between 154 to 160 for the MW belt
mayweather doesn't give a damn about a belt...he'll most likely not even fight for a title...won't pay the sanctioning fees for that joint...so why even fight for it?
Its the WBC belt for MW Floyd don't have one of those even if he doesn't pay the sanctioning fees it will still be for the lineal and the ring belt

Catch weights for titles shouldn't be allowed period. It s*it's up the history of boxing.
But of course the Alphabet Bodies are all too money hungry to actually give a sh*t. We got the freaking WBC that made a diamond belt. What kind of sh*t is that?
at a 155 catchweight for the MW title would you give him props for it or do you think its a b!tch move
catchweight titles suck. but hey at least martinez is a worthy opponent.
I won't respect him if he fights at a catchweight of 155, but if he fights Martinez at, at least 158 (preferably no catchweight) I'll respect him for it.
