    You are absolutely correct. Too many fan boys are looking for excuses that are not there. People dishonestly like to forget that Martinez is in fact a career JMW that started out as a WW and is a small MW. He's actually shorter than the bytch Margarito and De La Hoya.

    However, I think this fight should be at 154, yet I really think it would a great move for the fight to take place at 155 with the MW belt on the line. Bad move if it's anything less than 154 (assuming it will be a title fight).

    Overall, it's still way to early to put any stock into this fight.
    I tend to agree with you except if the MW title is on the line it should be at 160 max allowed for the weight class. Floyd and Sergio can fight at 154 and its legitimate. But if floyd wins the MW title at 154 then thats BS.

    As always BIG DUNN ****IN HATES when a champion has to defend his title at less than the weight limit of a particular weight class.

    Hopefully they fight at 154 and the MW title is not on the line OR fight at 160 for the MW title.

      I don't think this fight will happen, but if it were to happen, the weigh would be at 154lb. IMO, Floyd would lose this fight simply because his punching power would be ineffective against Sergio Martinez.

        No doubt but I think it would be a slap in the face to the haters if the fight was at 155 for the MW belt. People want the fight at 154, I say make it at 155 for the hell of it. You know it would infuriate the haters.

        I wouldn't give Floyd credit for a MW victory or say he's a MW Champion IF he did win. However it would be a good win (legacy wise) and Martinez' MW belt is a small price to pay for the pay day he would get.

        At the end of the day it won't happen though. 154 is fine and I don't agree with it below that.

          Just fight at 154 for no title. Bradley ducking khan and coming of a win against Casamyor at ww reduces the significance of the bradley manny fight alot. At that point either manny takes the test or floyd fights khan and manny fights another blown up LW in Brandon Rios.

            i doubt if any tittles are on the line..........titles are useless when it comes to such a big event......mayweather himself doesn't care too much about titles. martinez can keep his title............

                This fight wouldn't be a catchweight. Mayweather didn't even catchweight ODLH. So I don't see him doing a catchweight with Martinez.

                The fight would be a JMW (154lb) fight if Martinez was to fight Mayweather. Mayweather simply can't put on that much weight. I don't even think he came in JMW max limit for ODLH. I can't remember the exact number but I know he was less than 154.

                    Why would Floyd give him an extra advantage and give him extra 4 pounds to work with?

                    The offer is on 150.

                    No one calls the shots against Oscar. If Floyd could have it his way against Oscar who knows what the weight would have been. Oscar picked the weight-class.

                    Is comparing apples and oranges.

                    Floyd calls the shots here. But, it doesn't make sense to go for a higher weight then what it was given to him.

                    Unless if is to give Martinez less money.

                      It would say a lot about Floyd himself, in that he is doing something his fans criticise Pac for.
                      You aren't one of Floyd's genuine fans so why the **** would you even make that claim. His genuine fans (namely me) could give a **** all if he fights Martinez at 160 considering HE ISN'T A MW. It's more about the matchups him facing Martinez, who is number 2-3 P4P is what excites us. To be FAIR though it should be at 154, considering I hate catchweights this would be more than acceptable and credible for Floyd. First Martinez, then Khan, then Pac. He can go fight cab drivers to round out to 50 if he fights those 3 next.
