    He can give SSM a rematch, fight Berto, or other WWs. I'd rather have Money May fight Williams or Yuri instead of Martinez.

    Martinez can beat him.
    If Martinez were Mexican instead of an Argentine, the fight would happen. And the win would be outstanding.

        No, what makes you think Floyd would fight Martinez?

        Martinez is a beast at 154 and Floyd is not going to take the chance of fighting a guy like Martinez when he's not in his prime. It has nothing to do with race... Floyd likes to play it safe. It has to make sense for him as a fighter and he also has to make millions.

          Really could, PW then Pavlik is murder's row. Sergio should of been doing this at 26 instead of thirty, but hey, if it works and he could somehow get a part of the Mexican audience to latch on, he could be a star somewhat.

          It's not race, but if Martinez were Mexican he might of been a PPV star, presenting enough reward for the risk.

            ^ Floyd can sell a fight without a dance partner.

            Floyd is not going to take a big risk fighting the best fighter at 154 because he might lose the fight.

                SSM, A prime Manny, and Berto are easy fights?

                You want a guy who started at 106 fight a beast at 154 when he's on the downside of his career?

                  I said easier, not easy. You're the one that said Martinez was the tougher fight and that Mayweather could lose.

                  Yet you dont wanna see it?

                    There easy for Floyd, but that's not his fault. At any rate, he'll probably pass on Martinez; just way too much risk; but I think for +30 mil, he'd fight any JMW, and it's not as if a 36yo Martinez can't be beat.

                      A prime Manny is easy?
