Floyd knocks Martinez out.

Highly unlikely.

You just posted an article that stated Mayweather wouldn't fight Margarito unless he had 8 million. My point is (and the question that you have yet to answer), why did he settle for less when he fought Zab? If Margarito is as easy as he and other people claim he would have been, why didn't he accept just as much or at least a million more (which is what arum was putting up)?

That's why the Judah fight was Floyd's last with Arum. He went to Goosen and Made 8 Million for Baldomir, Made over 25 Mil to Fight Oscar and then earned over 40 Million to fight Hatton.

Now tell me again how Floyd priced himself out?

Why nobody take on dzinziruk, he was 35-0, 200 amateur fights, world champion and six times won as a champion, never knocked down in his whole career, five times in eight rounds fell down with Martínez. Barker was EBU Champion, 23-0. But meh, goat farmers. Atleast they are alive, like Cintron was the best prospect in boxing when he fought Martínez, like Williams the most avoided fighter and "Iron Chin" when he fought Martínez. And all of that are facts, not "ad hominem" arguments, you haters. Ah, Pavlik was the lineal champion, but now, the true and only champion of middleweights is Sergio Martínez.

Floyd is the lineal champ of welters, so this fight is an amazing fight and I can just hope happens early. But Floyd is better and I think Floyd UD Martínez.

Peace.

Not necessarily true, if you look at the Bunema fight, you'll see that he raises his guard in the pocket.

I think a lot of people are misreading how Sergio would be in this fight. His last 4 fights have been against people with notable height advantages. His hands down style lends him the ability to duck his head low and slip punches coming from above.

Against Bunema, he kinda fought tall and dove in with properly guarded combos. He only really had his hands low from a far distance. I'd expect that if he fought against Mayweather.

Wrong!

He really only starts doing it when he is comfortable with whats going on and feels in control, so it all depends of Floyd's ability to land early on him whether he drops them or not.

Wrong Again!

That's the one thing that Martinez and Joe (Calzaghe) did that mislead the fans (or the ones betting against them). They only do it when their confident and they have their opponent figured out to the point where they feel that they can do anything. Just like Martinez did when he finally got into his rhythm against Cintron, Williams and Pavlik. And just like Joe did when he was hitting Kessler and Lacy at will. Its part comfort and part physiologic. If you think that Martinez will come in against Floyd and immediately have his hands by his waist (or fight like that for most of the fight), you'll be disappointed.

..and Wrong Again!

...as it shows every fight, just like Saturdays fight..he comes in with his hands down. he had his hands down in round 1, round 2, round 3..
he kept them down even when he was getting tagged..and kept them down up until the KO..
Floyd will capitalize on this..Sergio will have to remember to raise his hands, which will cause him to think too much, which will throw him off his game..
