It's funny to read "Floyd would EASILY outbox Martinez"

    now how can u say martinez has better footwork???i cant picture that...too much wasted movement. if u ask me, his footwork is more comparable to a guy like dirrells than it is to mayweathers. both r very good, but just a notch below mayweathers. im not een saying mayweather would win a fight between the two but his skill is on a higher level.
    I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I mean people are saying he has poor balance due to the Williams fight, but that's the only fight I have seen that happen to him. My thing is this, people keep bring up balance as a reason why Mayweather is better....but the more you plant you feet the less likely you are to be off balance.

    Floyd does a great job of being a great defensive fighter with limited foot movement, I'll give him that.BUt to use balance as a reason I think is a bit unfair since one is constantly moving and the other has his feet planted more.

      Did Mayweather go down? yes or no. Did Martinez go down? Yes or no. And Mayweather moved plenty against Corrales.

        How many fighters do you know that are constantly moving as much as Martinez?
        lol tbh i thought calderon was a good example. he moves around alot and has excellent footwork and balance. he doesnt really plant his feet and shoulder roll like floyd.

          Ohh...I agree with you on that. I will admit me saying Martinez has the best footwork might be a reach. I totally forgot about Calderon, and there are prob. a lot of other fighters that I might be forgetting.

          FWIW you also gotta factor in the type of pressure Pwill was putting on Martinez. No one has ever put that type of pressure on Calderon and if they did he would get caught off balance more than he usually does.

          My thing is outside of Pwill, I have never seen balance issues from Martinez (and I have watch him fight several times). I think its unfair to gauge his footwork off of that...just like its unfair to say May has bad footwork due to Hatton catching him off balance and almost dropping him. It happens to everyone btw.

              Yeah, when all else fails play the "troll" card lol. You couldn't answer the question. Simple as that. But why should I be surprised when you used Kirkland Laing as an example for why Pacquiao would beat Duran.
