Sweet Pea vs. Sergio Martinez at 154 lbs?

Fight is a mis match. Martinez is a very good fighter. Pea was a very GREAT fighter. Big difference.

Sweet Pea all day.Sweet Pea is too elusive and accurate.

Floyd and his team requested a morning of the fight weight in not giving Wright 24hrs to rehydrate Here is the link http://www.sptimes.com/2005/07/22/Sports/Wright_Mayweather_bou.shtml and like i said non of these fighters defended their 154 belt Pwnage!!!!!!!

I respect your opinion but that won't change mine. I admit, I don't think that highly of Martinez. He's good, very good, but Whitaker was great. Even at 154.

Sweet Pea would make a joke out of Martinez. Even at 154. I respect your opinion but that won't change mine.

Sweet Pea would make a joke out of Martinez. Even at 154.

And, who was the real threat in that division at the time? This is not about Floyd but PW I gave you examples of fighters that took a fight or two beyond there weight limits then went back to their comfort zone IMO is to much for them to handle. Oscar did not stay at 160 Manny did not stay at 154 Floyd did not stay at 154 There must be a reason they did not campaign of such division for long. That said IMO PW prime or not can't beat Martinez even at 154.

I'll take Martinez all day.

Did you read the article? Where does it say that? Learn how to read man. FFS's you're a troll. Don't F'ing respond to me if you just going to troll pre. LOL! If only if were that easy to get rid of trolls :lol1:

So then you agree with me that floyd did not try to defend his 154 title against a real threat of the division. And, who was the real threat in that division at the time?

Why would he call out Winky out after Oscar, when Winky had just lost to B-Hop at 170? So then you agree with me that floyd did not try to defend his 154 title against a real threat of the division.

You just got own by me thinking Floyd called Wright after he beat de la hoya. Why would he call out Winky out after Oscar, when Winky had just lost to B-Hop at 170?

Why would it be a promotion? Did they know Wright was going to turn down 6mil? You just got own by me thinking Floyd called Wright after he beat de la hoya.

LOL The article was dated 2005 :hitit: And Arum was still Floyd's promoter. http://www.sptimes.com/2005/07/22/Sports/Wright_Mayweather_bou.shtml That was even before Floyd Fought Baldomir :D Jro. I think it was just a promotion. Arum offered a fight to Winky when Floyd was still at 140? Why would it be a promotion? Did they know Wright was going to turn down 6mil?

Jro For a while i thought Floyd really wants to fight there. :) My impression a while back was. Floyd offered Winky a fight after beating Dela Hoya. Silly me :D

Print story Subscribe to the Times Boxing Wright-Mayweather bout is off as talks break down Winky Wright's promoter says a last-minute shift in the money split has shelved the anticipated fight, at least temporarily. By JOHN C. COTEY, Times Staff Writer Published July 22, 2005 It's back to the drawing board for St. Petersburg's Winky Wright as negotiations to fight 140-pound champion Floyd Mayweather fell apart Thursday morning at a meeting in Las Vegas. "As of right now, it's no deal - they changed the money on me at the last second," said promoter Gary Shaw, who said he was close to finalizing the fight when he walked into Top Rank and Bob Arum's office Thursday. But within seconds, he said, the deal evaporated. "I walked in, I told him: "I believe we have a deal,' " Shaw said. "And Bob said, "so it's a deal - 55-45 (money split)'. "I said, "Bob, that was never, ever discussed, no deal' and that was that." The day before, Shaw said he and Arum had agreed to a 50-50 purse split as well as other requests from Mayweather's camp. He added that Wright adviser Jim Wilkes and Don King, who has an option on Wright's next fight, agreed as well. According to Shaw, however, Arum said he did not remember that conversation. Arum was unavailable for comment. Shaw and Arum were in Las Vegas to promote the Oct. 8 rematch between Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo. Shaw promotes Corrales; Arum promotes Castillo. "There were requests made by Floyd Mayweather, we laid it out and I think they were fair requests," Arum told maxboxing.com. "Gary rejected them, so there's no fight. We have to sit with Floyd and we'll figure out (what we do next). Maybe (Antonio) Margarito. It's unfortunate as far as the Winky Wright fight, but it's not going to happen." While Shaw said he agreed with just about all of the demands from the Mayweather team, principally regarding weight, he doesn't think the Detroit fighter, aformer Olympian, was behind the breakdown. "I think it's Arum," Shaw said. "When Floyd normally calls someone out, he's serious about fighting them." Mayweather, one of the sport's most vocal stars, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal Sunday that he was interested in fighting Wright, and Shaw wasted no time calling his bluff. The next morning, he was in the Top Rank offices working on a deal. "Remember, Floyd called Winky out; Winky didn't call Floyd out," Shaw said. "We were even willing to come down in weight to 154." Because Wright, who prefers to fight at 160, could probably put on as many as 15 pounds between the weigh-in (the day before) and the fight and enter the ring as high as 165-170, Mayweather's camp requested a morning-of-the-fight weigh-in. That included a stipulation that Wright couldn't go more than eight pounds above the limit. Like i said Mayweather's camp didn't give Wright 24hrs to rehydrate.

I see. This was before he lost to Williams right? WINKY is a FVCKING IDIOT for not signing this fight. He would lose but its still $6M :nonono: Way before he lost to P-Will. Winky had just beat Tito Trinidad. But, yes Winky was an idiot. Winky also turned down a career high payday of 6mil to fight Oscar. He wanted like 10-15mil or something like that. A ridiculous amount of money for him. He also turned down a 50/50 split rematch with Jermaine Taylor. He also turned down a career high payday of 4 or 5mil to fight Margarito. Because, he said he wanted the 8mil that Floyd Mayweather was promised to fight Marg. Like if Winky was as popular as Floyd. I don't know who the fuck was advising Winky. He lost a lot of money and exposure turning down these fights.

Pare look, It is crazy, Winky got offered 6mil for Floyd. Which is big money for him. While Floyd was talking about getting 9mil. Winky stated that it should be 50/50 because Floyd is not a draw that Oscar is or whatever. However, WTF did Winky draw? This from Winky mouth himself. http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=2006 Another article. http://www.sptimes.com/2005/07/26/Sports/Wright_vs_Mayweather_.shtml And, I think Floyd was at 140 at the time. He was going to skip 147 and go straight to 154 to fight Winky and Winky still wouldn't take it cuz' he was being offered 6mil(a career high payday) while he wanted 50/50. I mean it's one thing to hate on a fighter like Floyd. But, at least lets give credit when it's due as well. I see. This was before he lost to Williams right? WINKY is a FVCKING IDIOT for not signing this fight. He would lose but its still $6M :nonono:
