Debate: What would be more impressive for Mayweather, a Pacquiao win or Martinez win?

[Sin City]

Which would be more impressive, IF and that's a big IF Mayweather fought and beat one of the two?


Not going to put up a poll because anyone could just vote without sharing a valid opinion to back their decision up. So just post what you think and why.

[wazaa.]

equally impressive.

Both are at the top of their game.

Manny is more skilled but Sergio has the size advantage.

But let me just say this: I would be shocked if Floyd decides to fight Sergio.

i'd say martinez cuz he's the real mw champ...but i'd much rather see him fight pac.

[Heeb]

Pacquiao. He is the fight the world wants to see.

[Sweet Jesus]

Either/or.

From a mainstream standpoint, Pacquiao.

From a boxing standpoint, Martinez. For Pac's 6th weight division, he beat a lineal champion... Ricky Hatton. For Floyd's 6th weight division, he would also have to beat a lineal champion... Sergio Martinez. You tell me which is harder.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

Pacquiao..

In reality it would be Martinez but... he is probably 37 by the time Floyd could get round to facing him.. so even IF he beats him he gets the usual ****.. Martinez is too old or shot.. deespite coming of his biggest win ever

[Carpe Diem]

Both. I think they both can beat Floyd, but i like Martinez chance against Floyd better. I think he would make lesser mistakes since he's more comfortable and effective fighting at a slow tempo. Pacquiao's chance is to stay active enough to make Floyd fight at Clottey's pace. Pac's in and out style is more effective against slow non-moving targets.

It's a tough one. I'd have to go with Pacquiao. I am torn between the two though. It's seems about even. I was discussing this with one of my friends just now so I figured I'd ask NSB what they think.

[Pacquiao'd]

sergio>>>pac. real champ>>>multi paper champ

[Carpe Diem]

sergio>>>pac

I wouldn't say that. But i like his chance better against Floyd despite not having the same speed and punching power like Manny has.
