Why is everyone accusing Floyd of ducking Martinez. Hasn't he said this after the Chavez fight? I mean the guy is like almost 40 and you're asking him to come down in weight..
He's not a big middleweight, I wouldn't worry about him going back to 154.
However, the 150lb catchweight he offered to Pacquiao and Mayweather? ... I seriously doubt that is an option anymore.
Is there any offer that has been given to Sergio that gives him any incentive whatsoever to go to 154? Of course he can go down, it's just that nobody has offered him jack sh*t at the moment. He'd need some assurance.
I don't know how anyone can advocate for this fight at 154, this fight if ever happens should be at a healthy weight, that way both guys get all the credit that they deserve, If Martinez beat Mayweather then It wouldn't have too much effect on his career or legacy and if Mayweather wins it a great win for his legacy, 154 would be another excuse for a 38 year old who hasn't fought at the weight for years, it would be the say old story if the fight ever happens there..
fighting at 160 is retarded, he cant even make 54 let alone 60
bollocks. you dont know what floyd weighs on a fight night because he doesnt allow himself to be weighed most of the time. he weighed in at 151 against cotto, he is apparently the number 1 fighter at 154.
but anyway, your own hero has told you before, skills pay the bills, weight dont mean ****. if he is as great as he claims to be, he will have no problem beating martinez at 160. after all, he is the best of all times so he says.
at the end of the day martinez will be about half a stone heavier than ortiz was, skills pay the bills and all that.
Where was your rehydration source for the JR fight? I don't remember fight night weight.
Thomas Hauser was there for the unofficial weigh in for Martinez, but since Chavez didn't do it, HBO didn't show it.
At HBO’s request, Martinez went next-door to be weighed on “the unofficial HBO scale.” Chavez refused a similar request. Sergio had gained eight pounds since the weigh-in. The assumption was that Julio would enter the ring at close to 180.

He rehydrated to 167 against Chavez Jr. When he fought in jr middleweight, he rehydrated to 164. We're talking just an extra 3 pounds here. He'll be fine at 154.
Talk is cheap, if Martinez says he can make 154 and be health then please fight at 154 in his next fight, no point in saying I can make 154 easy but I don't fight at 154, no point in saying he comes in at 158 for a 160 when he hasn't fought at 154 for four years, Mayweather should go to 160 and fight Martinez there for his own legacy, anyone trying to drain Martinez by asking to make a weight he hasn't made in four years are just stupid.
Yea Martinez can make 154 without a problem i still feel he has a big size advantage, there just excuses there making, Martinez also said he could make 147 but it wouldnt be safe, so 150 he said he could do with out a problem
he's not the biggest middlweight i've seen, compared to taylor, hopkins, even jones...chavez looked like a supermiddleweight in there with him...floyd can fight him make it happen...lol
It needs to be 160 really, that's where floyd gains something to his legacy. If he fights at 154 then he can't win, they will say Martinez was drained if floyd wins. So if I was him either take the challenge or retire, nothing left for floyd
I doubt he can make 154, and Martinez isn't waiting for anyone to do him a favour anyways because he has his own path/fight scheduled for April, and if he believes he can fight at 154 then he would have done so by now to put pressure on the top names at that weight.
Why is everyone accusing Floyd of ducking Martinez. Hasn't he said this after the Chavez fight? I mean the guy is like almost 40 and you're asking him to come down in weight..
the real question is how do you duck someone on may 4th if they are fighting in april which is a month before that..
