Sergio's Hand's Down By His Side vs Floyd?

[American Dream]

He puts his left hand up all teh time whilst jabbing ETC. Please watch him and Paul Williams in teh first fight, he picked his hands up A LOT. His head movement is top notch though as is his countering ability. if he can avoid the TORNADO that Williams threw at him then I'm sure he'd be fine against the 1 or 2 pot shots floyd will bring at a time.

Show me a fighter floyd has fought who was known for their head movement before we get into teh debate of how floyd makes defensive fighters look not defensive. Ortiz slippd punches pretty well I thought and he isn't defensive at all.

Yes. because Paul Williams is so very accurate.
If Sergio can avoid Paul, he certaintly can avoid Floyd!

No. It's called getting paid what you feel you deserve.and is worth. He didnt ask for more money to fight marg. He said he wanted more for future fighter and called out the fighters yall claim he ducked

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)?

Well. Theses arent the old days. Fighter are smarter now and realize they need to make sure their finances are right

I don't see anything wrong with Ali's finances even today, hes fine. To me its called being spoiled, greedy and caring more about money/riches than about legacy and fans. When asked why he didn't fight Margarito in an old interview, Mayweather stated "its not about the fans, its about making smart business decisions". If Ali had the mentality of Mayweather, he probably wouldn't be the legend that he is. The man fought in an era where ducking was not an option, and he made his name by calling and beating the best fighters that he heavyweight division had to offer, and IN the greatest heavyweight era ever. To me, they were smarter back in THOSE days. Floyd is a great fighter, but he would never come close to being held on the pedestal that Ali is.

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.

Exactly, I couldn't have said it better myself but people will fail to realize this and think if he constantly gets hit in the face he wont put his hands up.

Um what ELITE fighter has Martinez beat? Up until 2009 he was fighting BUMS...

Dude is gonna put on a show against Floyd if he fights him. Let Floyd try that sucker punch **** on Sergio, lmao.....Floyd would get stomped out. Straight right might work once or twice but when Sergio adapts and sets Floyd up with a lead left down the pike and smash's Floyd's face harder than he has ever been hit in his career, we'll see Floyd in his corner "Mutha****a cheatin, this ref better do what he is paid to do"

If Floyd fights Martinez i think everybody wil be surprised. And i got Martinez by ko.

[boxer2k5]

floyd will outbox him. sergio makes alot of mistakes hes good and im a big fan hes exciting and fight hard fast and strong. but he makes alot of mistakes. floyd key is his adaptability and him exploiting fighters mistakes. floyd is the superior boxer better stamina and faster. floyd will win and outbox sergio. I dont think it will be easy but i think floyd will win hands down

[viperz007]

floyd always wins fantasy fights ://

its wont be long for *****s to make a thread about floyd will KO the klitshko bro

poor *****s the only way they can enjoy is by dreaming the fights they want to see coz they know that their boss aint have balls

No response? That's because Martinez has never had a draw with a 7-34 fighter, and where you found that at is beyond me. And Castillo had lost 4 ( 3 by KO) fights when he went in against Floyd, yet that doesn't stop the majority of people from thinking it was a highway robbery.

Sergio fought the dude in '98, it was Sergio's 3rd bout as a pro and the guy had a 3-6 record.

Keeping your hands up isnt the only form of defence. In fact, Martinez is much more elusive than most guys that walk around like that.
