    My opinion has also changed. Originally I viewed Mayweather-Martinez as 50/50; either man can win, but I no longer see it as that. I see too much wasted motion from Martinez, so many instances where he doesn't punch and as Reed said, "Martinez takes rounds off". Mayweather's legs are gonna be the most important here, he's gonna have to violently pursue Martinez. Keep a high tight guard and lung in with the straight right hand. Similar to the right hand he used against Zab Judah.

    As for their speed, I can't really say. Mayweather looked so much slower against Oscar then he looked for Hatton, Marquez and Mosley. That was also more due to the muscle Mayweather put on, I never seen Mayweather look that bulky before. So who is to say Mayweather isn't gonna put on that kind of muscle? Hopefully Mayweather learned his lesson. Anyway, It'll be somewhat competitive but I see Mayweather winning clearly. We also have to factor in that Martinez is probably gonna be the biggest opponent Mayweather has faced, I know him and Oscar are around the same size but Martinez has a 76 inch reach. We'll see.
    The most bulky I've seen Floyd was in the JMM fight, he looked even bigger than he did in the Oscar fight IMO...

      Lets just drop it, back to the topic.

      dude, I asked a serious question and *****s started a circle jerk. don't blame me.

      back to the topic:

      floyd isn't a small WW. he's around 160 lbs and at the least 155 lbs. it's a fair fight and floyd is probably the favorite going into this fight. so why all this double standard talk?

        You also didn't need to call me a *****, when I haven't called you anything.

        Where is your proof he is around 160lbs, I am just curious?

            Its hard for me to explain. He looked great against Marquez, alot more loose. Against Oscar he seemed tight, and that to me was more due to all the muscle he packed on.

              It's not really a duck when the back up opponent poses an equal threat...

                He seemed tight because Oscar was bigger than him, and he came to fight.

                Floyd was a lot more mobile in the Oscar fight than the JMM fight...

                  Boxing is finally alive again. Floyd is GOAT if he beats pac @ 147 then sergio @ 150s. Thank you for coming back Floyd!

                    Martinez will blow Floyd out of the water in a 9-3 or 10-2 type decision. No way in hell does Floyd beat Sergio and this isn't me overrating him either.
                    I promise I quoted this and it in my e-notepad, saved it. I will place it in my sig if May-Martinez actually happens though.

                      Martinez would be a tougher fight than Pac would be. Interesting indeed...
