    Pirog. I don't think Floyd beats Martinez at this point.

      I wanna see him fight Abraham. IDK about u all, but that sounds like an exciting fight taking into mind that Abraham could probably knock him out with a solid punch at any point in the fight. If anything, it would be a great display of ability by Martinez

        Martinez' biggest tests lie at 168 in the form of Lucian Bute, Andre Ward, Andre Dirrell, and Carl Froch. I believe each of these fights would be FOTY stuff, save for Dirrell

        No one at '54 can beat Martinez, though I'd like to see him end Cotto and Margarito's careers. Neither Mayweather nor Pacquiao will fight him at '54 either.
        Pirog would be a fun fight but would eventually get knocked out. Ward, Bute, Pacman and Mayweather are the only fighters near the weight that are capable of beating Martinez right now in my opinion.

          Geez let the man asert dominance in a division already. People forget he wasn't a titleholder @ 154 very long either. If nothing below 160 comes up ok, but I would stay south of 168 unless absolutely necessary. Nobody brings dough there and they are bigger by quite a bit.

          Personally I would like to see a Pavlik rematch because that fight was dead even until Kelly started bleading badly.

            Pirog then a move to 168 to face Bute. Maybe he could demolish Cotto and Margarito at 154 along the way.

              After Pirog has a few more good performances id like to see him fight martinez. If paul williams can ever fix his deficiency of being a tall man who fights short and also keep his hands up he can potentially win the rubber match. I had him edge sergio out first fight by outworking him.
              Sergio is wasting his time calling out anyone at welterweight, noone there will fight him. The best fights for his resume would be perhaps Angulo, Cloud, Bute, and those in the super six minus kessler and abraham.

                  Pretty much, i don't see floyd being able to block all of martinez's shots.

                    There are several guys like Pirog, N'Jikam, Golovkin and with a few more fights someone like David Lemeuix.
