    Again, I don't see how the weight issue is insurmountable.
    I actually wouldn't mind the fight but if it doesn't happen I can understand.I can't see making Martinez fight at 150 though.

      Martinez says he can make 150 for weigh-in, so it would be a knock on his credibility if he could not or would not do it.

        I know he said it but I believe it about as much as Shane Mosley when he claimed he would fight Pacquiao at 140. I don't like catchweights and Martinez would be weakened at 150 imo. It should be at 160 or I'm not interested.

            Martinez is to big for Floyds brittle hands.

              Right on, Martinez came in at 165 his last fight, Ortiz weighed 164 for his fight with Floyd, Margarito weighed 165 for his fight with Pacman. It is crystal clear, that its not a size discrepancy, its a he will Knock u the fk out discrepancy.

                  no way floyd came in at 154 last time.. he was looking a good 160 at least.
                  he looked huge against ortiz and he looked bigger than mosley too!

                    Its ok for Floyd to ask another fighter (Marquez) to jump two divisions to face him. But Floyd himself wont jump two divisions to face Martinez.

                    Floyd should retire, you look at his record it looks like he calculated ever opponet to fight at the right time. His's career seems to be one of the most over rated in boxing today.

                      He weighed 150 on the HBO scale and 149 thirty days before the fight with Ortiz. I don't know where these other weights are coming from but they are innacurate.

                      I'm guessing you're joking though.
