    Everything Martinez does. Floyd does Better and faster.

        Floyd at 154 is no slouch. He rocked Oscar a few times and was blazing fast.

          Probably, but Floyd has no reason to fight above WW, it's a ridiculous matchup that's pushing Floyd to his physical limits. He's not a MW or JMW, he's not a hard puncher, and he's not a volume puncher either.

            At MW size would play a factor though Burner. Floyd might be slower going up that high. While Martinez still have the same speed and Floyd would probably move less effective due to the weight.

            I think Floyd at 154 has a chance and could beat him. But, at MW that might be too much.

              When?

              He fought as hard as he could but lets not get crazy he got dominated.
              I thought that fight was more one sided then most people, but I don't think you can call that fight a domination by any means. Mostly because Floyd didn't do much offensively more so then Oscar doing anything effective. But at 154 and a major size disadvantage you can't really fault Floyd for that.

                  It wouldn't let me give you green k. It says I have to spread it out before I can give it to you. So when I can I will hit you up.

                    Martinez beats Mayweather due to size advantage, quick on his feet and power.
                    Hes 2 inches taller and has 1 inch LESS reach.

                    Whats this size you speak of?

                    Yes hell weigh more,but Martinez is not much of a power puncher. 25kos in 45 fights, against alot of subpar fighters.

                    Martinez has niether the Boxing IQ,Ring generalship,Expierence and style Floyd brings.Floyd can handle a slick quick fighter. Whos the savyest fighter martinez has fought?Pwill?Dudes only been boxing 12-13 years total, Floyd will do things to him hes never seenor heard of. Im not saying Floyd walks through Martinez, but Martinez is at very large disadvantage in terms of technicality if they fought.

                      Martinez said a few times that hes a small JMW and a small MW. Hes not a legit 160 Pounder IMO. He might fill out and grow into it soon. But I think this would basically be a 154 Pound fight at 160. Kind of like Williams-Martinez both guys will want to keep speed.
