    I disagree with everyone on this. I always have felt that Sergio would be easy work for Floyd. Now Floyd is starting to slow some so that may change but I just cant see anyone who keeps there hands down like that beating Floyd. I think he would make Sergio pay alot with the way he keeps his hands low and those punches would really catch the judges eye

      Taylor is a 50-50 fight. Mayweather beats him. Winky would be an ugly fight, 50-50.


      Martinez beats the rest.

        He beats them all except Mayweather. Who would make Sergio look silly.

          Those low hands hold a jab that would bust floyd up..... Sergio is tall and it'd be difficult for floyd to that straight right on sergio. Sergio is huge at 154 and would hold basically every physical edge over floyd. Whens the last time floyd saw a slick fighter in the ring?

          Bad night for floyd. He cant shut that jab down the way sergio throws it imo. Sergio has a damn high ring iq like floyd too

            he's ring IQ is high but not on Floyd's level. It just looks higher based on guys like Williams & Pavlik with low ring IQ's. We saw Williams confused against Quintana & Cintron and we saw Pavlik get clearly outsmarted by Hopkins. Floyd's IQ would still be a shock to Sergio

              The easiest fights on that list for Sergio are Cotto and Pacquiao. Very easy work for Sergio.

                Yeah, I tend to agree although I believe a fighter as great as Floyd would certainly be competitive. That said, Sergio would be a nightmare. Floyd would have to respect that power and being the smaller man against a southpaw, he would be forced to try and get inside. Martinez would fire all sorts of blows from different angles. His jab isn't that bad either. He's very, very difficult in the ring. Mayweather could get dropped and hurt bad, maybe even stopped, but the likely scenario to me is a close but clear UD for Martinez.

                  I agree 100% amd i think they know this.. Sergio is huuuuuungry too. This is a figut i believe floyd would stay far away from, and i respect floyds business sense.

                  Dlt, i hear what you're saying but you're selling sergio's smarts short. His team gameplans very very well. NO one thought sergio was gonna come ojt and hammer dizzy with the jab. Ajd floyd hasnt really been outsmarting prime all time greats lately himself. Certainly no one like sergio.

                    1- Sturm- He stops Sturm who has looked very unimpressive the last year and a half against mediocre comp

                    2- Kirkland- C'mon this guy is just not that good has no defense and would be diced up with cuts and stopped or just get KTFO by Sexi

                    3- Winky out of retirment- Sexi by boring UD

                    4-Pirog- Tough to say because we don't know enough about him yet

                    5- Cotto- He stops Cotto late

                    6- Abraham if he's about 90% of what he was- AA would always be live because of his power but Sergio should be able to win a wide UD if not a total shutout. I have said and will continue to claim that AA IS NOT WORLD CLASS and never proved he was ever.

                    7-Taylor if he's about 80% of what he was- Would be competitive early but with how tight JT is he would gas and lose a competitive UD

                    8-Williams-- he already beat him in my estimation twice

                    9-Pac at 154- Pac is still a natural LW anyway anyone wants to spin it and also Sergio is not a stationary target so Sergio by late stoppage because Pac still has defense issues and this is a fast fighter we are talking about with some pop

                    10-Floyd at 154- Tough one here, its too hard for me to call because of Floyd's inactivity and we don't know if he is as good as when he fought over a year ago.

                      It would be competitive. Floyd aint getting blown out, he might go into survival mode
