SOURCES SAY: Mayweather wants to accomplish big things and isn’t satisfied facing the guys – Timothy Bradley, Lamont Peterson, Miguel Cotto, and Juan Manuel Marquez – that Arum is considering for Paquiao’s next fight. Mayweather wants to do something really special like beating the middleweight division’s best fighter in Sergio Martinez.
Mayweather said this about a potential fight against Martinez: “If Sergio Martinez can make 150, let’s make the fight happen.”
A Mayweather-Martinez fight could be a huge fight; one that if he won it would further cement Mayweather’s legacy/greatness. In the past, the Argentine southpaw has said he CAN make 150, and that he would do so for a mega-fight with a Pacquiao or a Mayweather. Scheduled to face Matthew Macklin on March 17th (very possibly a tough, gruelling fight), would “Maravilla” be able to fight again as soon as May 5th, a mere six weeks later?
Fans, many of them anyway, have long since grown tired of Pacquiao shenanigans , as the guilty party preventing the fight being made, and it just might be that a Mayweather-Martinez fight would intrigue them more than a Pacquiao fight. As legendary trainer Angelo Dundee said recently, a fight can only capture the public’s imagination for so long.
