Let's say Mayweather wins his fight against Cotto and contacts Martinez and around the same time, Arum and Dibella came to an agreement. Who do you think Sergio would fight? Who do you think he should fight?
From Sergio's perspective, I would take the Floyd fight. That's where the money is but not only that. He doesn't have much of a fan base, which is why I believe he should fight Floyd. He will get a lot of exposure from this fight.
But from a fans perspective, I would love to see Sergio vs Chavez. Just because I want to see Sergio beat Chavez.
floyd and pac have frozen 135-160. none of those guys will take any risks in fear of losing a possible big fight. oscar did the same thing the last years of his career. this is garbage.
There's no question...Floyd.
Even if he lost to Floyd, he might still be able to land a Chavez fight after. But the same cant be said the other way around.
He'd fight Floyd. Win/win for him. If he wins, he just beat one of the best P4P boxers in the world. If he loses, well, he just lost to one of the best P4P boxers in the world.
If he beats Chavez, haters will say duh, he was supposed to, Chavez is garbage. If he loses to Chavez (doubtful), then his career takes a huge blow.
He'd pick Floyd without question. Fighting Floyd whether he won or he lost would bring him recognition among the casual fans and would probably increase his fan base. Not only that but after the fight his chances of getting Jr. would be better. Arum's "Sergio isn't PPV material" excuse would be totally irrelevant.
Then again Arum is one stubborn sob so maybe even after that fight he still wouldn't get Chavez Jr.
Mayweather, of course.
A fight with Mayweather gaurentee's you money to set you for life, he's made himself into that level of superstar. JCC jr would also be a good pay-day, but the difference between a good pay-day and what he would get with Mayweather is huge.
Rehydrating 7-10 pounds is "average". . . Sergio is a full blown MW. . Not big, nor small. . Just a solid, regular MW. . .
I think it was average a few years ago, but now it's pretty damn small especially considering he's under 6 foot as well. All the other guys are hydrating so much higher.
No doubt its Floyd.
If he fights Chavez and loses, the Floyd fight is off the table.
But if he fights Floyd and loses, the Chavez fight would still be able to happen.

they box for money
floyd. do you really have to ask?
between floyd and chavez?!?! LOL is this a trick question?
hmmm.... fight the face of boxing, or fight some tomato can bum? lemme think about this one for a sec...
I agree Floyd, more money is the key. If Martinez sits around and waits for these guys, he will be wasting much of his career though. He should get busy while he can and bank as many reasonable defences as he can. It isn't hard to see neither of these champs are eager to fight him now.
Floyd of course.
You talking about a guy who would fight a WW at 154 but won't fight a 154lb'er at 154lbs. He wonts him at 160.
All this Sergio small sh1t is a host.
Sergio was 167 on fight night against Barker, 165 against Pavlik, 171 against Dizzy.
11lbs being his highest weight game, for a middleweight. THATS INCREDIBLY SMALL.
Victor ortiz was 165 at 147
kermit cintron was 174 at 147
Joshue Clottey was 170 at 147
....
Kelly pavlik was 178
Chavez jr was 180, 183 then 181
Barker was 175
Dude, I can do this all day. Serg is small, he even weighed in at 157 and still had slight handles above his hip bones. He could make 154 so comfortably it's frightening.
and just for the sake of putting it out there
at 154 sergio was known to hydrate up to 162-4ish.
he was 164 to Cintrons 170,
he was 162 against bunema
Floyd of course.
