    Mayweather should opt for Sergio Martinez at 160.

    This sort of reminds me of when RJJ could have possibly faced Lewis, and although I would have obviously picked Lewis to win, Roy was at a win win situation. You lose (That was expected) you win...THEN DAMN. I know Roy missed out on such an opportunity but I don't want to see Floyd do the same. I'm sick of Pacquiao's excuses, I really don't want to go through that drama again; I'm tired.

    Mayweather has nothing to lose here, and Martinez is more a natural Jr MW. Martinez will probably enter the ring weighing 165-168, and Mayweather 155. Great match up, very respectable opponent, I'm 100% sure Martiez will take the test, MAKE IT HAPPEN. Hopefully Pavlik doesn't activate the rematch clause. By the way, I'd lean towards Martinez to win.

    This **** will not happen gtfoh. Floyd is about fighting guys with fan bases or name recognition. Also if they fought it would happen at 154, floyd doesn't care about titles at the moment.

      I don't think it would be a good idea, 160 is uncharted territory for Floyd, he should just gun for Berto if the Manny fight doesn't fall through.

        Yeah, Sergio's not big enough popularity wise to fight Mayweather.

          Get the fuck out of here with Berto. Lol. Devon Alexander is a bigger threat to Floyd than Berto is, and Berto is even less of a draw than Paul Williams is.

            Mayweather said "It's possible". Only one reason why he would say that...the titles.

              YES !! This is also what I was saying. I dont see Pacquiao beating Floyd so I'm not that hyped about the fight anymore. I can definitely see Martinez troubling Floyd though. This would be a great match-up. However I do think that Floyd will foght on his backfoot just like he did against De La Hoya because of the size difference.

              I disagree with the "Mayweather has nothing to lose here" part though. That '0' means alot to him.

                i disagree . floyd dont care about welterweight titles but im sure he would care about the undistputed middleweight title think about the only 6 weight titlist in boxing history is dlh but with martinez floyd has a chance to not only equal it but eclipse it by bean the man in hes 6th division

                  But Devon Alexander isn't gunning for Floyd neither is he gunning for any other elite welter, so Floyd's other option within the division is a title holder in Andre a fight I'd favor Floyd in winning an easy title and a easy payday who can argue against it?
