It's his style and how he has been fighting for a long time, it's not changing not matter who he faces and if it does change then he could be in more trouble then otherwise because he wouldn't be used to fighting like that against world class opposition, unless he shows he is more versatile then I think and pulls it off well, but I doubt it.
floyd and pac ppl know better to put them in there with martinaz. the first time that he hits them with them three straight puches all hope of winning is ova.pac getting knockout for sure esp if try to come in 148. floyd might survive but he might get ko too. sergio is too big, to good, to fast and hit to damn hard. if pac or floyd beat this dude then there legend should never die.
This.
He would get chopped up if he tried that with Floyd.
Not if he worked his jab like he did against Dzinziruk. I can't see any scenario based on styles and athleticism where Mayweather chops up Martinez.
for pac fight he would cuz he moves around and slip punches but for the floyd fight he will start in the begining and once he starts getting potshotted his hand will go up
This.
He would get chopped up if he tried that with Floyd.
Yes he would, as much as he usually does. It's part of his style, and he has no reason to change it. His size and reach advantage over Pacquiao and Mayweather mean he can keep his hands down without too much fear.
Given Mayweather and Pac's speed and agility, would he be able to just drop his hands like he normally does without them jumping all over him?
he could cause wifebeater and pac won't be able to hurt him. he's too big
He would and he would get beat by both at 154, Am sooo confident about those two beating Martinez that am prepared to put all my point and money on that fight, Unlike all this biitches who are screaming for Martinez to move up like he;s a killer or something.
Right now if either Mayweather (Especially) or pacquiao fights Martinez they would get a lot of fans giving them props for stepping up to a real challenge instead of cherrypicking shot, slow and damage fighters.
hes been fighting with his hands low since the beginning of his career, i doubt hed change his style up now at this point in his career regardless of the opponent
Given Mayweather and Pac's speed and agility, would he be able to just drop his hands like he normally does without them jumping all over him?
probably would
He drops his hand not only because it's part of his style, he does it to lure his opponent in. He becomes "open" so that his opponent can fire away and he counters with his deadly left/hook.
Mayweather is a counter puncher, he's not gonna be lured in with such an amateurish move. As you can see Martinez does pay for his troubles of putting his hands down, Dzinziruk and Williams both caught Martinez quite a lot before they were stopped.
Martinez will not be able to put his hands down against Floyd because of the fact that Martinez will actually have to be the aggressor in the fight, not the counterpuncher. If you go on a counterpunching war against Floyd, you'll probably just get countered to death and by the time you know it, you need a knock out to win. Martinez will have to use his size, power, and all the speed he has to pressure the smaller Floyd and be careful with the counters.
Pacquiao on the other hand, is the aggressor in his fights, so this will allow Martinez to be the counterpuncher and freely showboat, with only having to worry about Pacquiao's handspeed and footwork, since Pacquiao is no defensive wizard or master counterpuncher by any stretch. Pacquiao's power might be neutralized because of the weight difference on fight night combined with Martinez' ability to take a punch from heavier punchers. This is where Mayweather comes in, Mayweather's power has been gone for a long time now, but Mayweather doesn't win on power, he wins on skill/boxing ability/perfect defense.
So in conclusion:
Martinez can showboat and counterpunch a little against Pacquiao.
Martinez should be the aggressor and look for the fight against Floyd, don't do that hands low style thing unless he plans on attempting to lure Floyd which will never work.
sergio would drop manny like a bad habit
true story
manny's natural fighting weight is probably between 135 and 140
sergio is a full fledged middleweight with punching power
he'll avoid him like the plague and for good reason
and i dont think floyd would throw more than 30 punches in any round if he fought sergio
he'll be better off keeping his hands low and saving the energy and hoping floyd ACTUALLY throws at him so he opens up
for pac fight he would cuz he moves around and slip punches but for the floyd fight he will start in the begining and once he starts getting potshotted his hand will go up
Well to put things into perspective, have you seen a fight where Martinez wasn't hit? I mean...Dzinziruk even landed on him quite regularly in the 5th-6th rounds, and that guy's nowhere near being a "puncher".
My opinion, keep your hands up...
