    MAYWEATHER V MARTINEZ @ 156...what ye think?

    Over the last few days I have been trying to think who Floyd's next opponent could be, provided Floyd beats Shane Mosley, which i believe he will.

    Since Martinez now has the middleweight title, would Floyd be tempted to try claim a title at a 6th weight class?

    To me, besides PAC, after Mosley he doesnt have to many options to add to his legacy or make him lots of $$$.

    And before people come in shouting Paul Williams I think its clear no WW, including Mosley or PAC, want nothing to do with Paul Williams, not beacuse he cant be beaten but because he is too high risk for a relatively low payday. Only true boxing fans know who he is.

    I personally think Floyd takes Martinez as although he is athletically gifted no doubt, Sergio makes fundamental errors and is often off balance. I believe Floyd is faster and smarter and Martinez is not exactly a huge puncher.

    Please no trolling like saying he will fight some flyweight blah blah blah those threads are just lame. I just want to see what people think about the above and other credible opponents.

    Martinez by UD. Old DLH was winning the fight until he gassed. Floyd better stay at 147.

      I have Martinez by Decision @ 156.

      Floyd should pull a Ray Leonard and fight Martinez at 154 for the WBC JMW championship and for the MW Lineal championship. I give Floyd a better chance then at 154 then I do at 156

        Martinez natural weight is 154. Why would they fight at 156?

          I think Floyd should fight Stieglitz.

            He could win that fight too, and hold a title at 168.

              I picked 156 as i see it as a reasonable catchweight seeing as Martinez has had his last 2 fights above 154, he might, might struggle to make it.

              I am not a fan of catchweights but they seem to be becoming the norm nowadays.

                It would be a great fight ...as much as I like Martinez I think pbf would pull it off.

                    154 is good enough, no need for 156. Martinez is a small MW, Jr MW is where he really belongs.
