If Floyd fights Cotto at 154, why not Martinez?

    Floyd wont even dare fight the leftovers of Pacs leftovers. Thats how little risk he is willing to take and is the real indicator of how little confidence he really has in his own abilities no matter what he claims..

    Pac beat Margarito, and Margarito beat Sergio so Floyd should have enough belief in himself to beat Sergio, even if the general consensus of opinion is that Sergio has improved since then.

      Because Pac is at WW fighting JWW's. If Floyd moves up to MW to fight Martinez, he's not coming back down to WW.

      If Mayweather would have selected to move up to MW and fight Martinez, fake boxing fans like *******s would say, why did Mayweather duck Cotto at 154...

      The problem is, nobody from 140-154 beats Floyd and everyone knows this. Which is why who ever he fights, threads like this are made.

          Why are you dodging the TS question? You are being asked why dont Floyd fight Sergio at 154 and you mention 3 times Floyd fighting Sergio at middleweight?

          Are u trying to imply Cotto is more dangerous than Sergio at 154 and that its better that Floyd beats Pacs leftovers? Floyd wont fight Sergio at 154 yet will fight Cotto at 154?

            Because Martinez is fighting at MW in March. Not JMW....

              Martinez wouldn't fight at 154. The guy didn't even want to fight Cotto and Canelo at 154. Not even Pacquiao. So yeah.

              So what is the point of this thread again?

                It was a poor attempt by fake boxing fans like *******s to insinuate that Floyd is ducking a MW that is scheduled to fight at MW in March.

                    Miguel is comfortable at 154, but he's not big at the weight and he wont re-hydrate to be FAR bigger than Pac or Floyd would be. Sergio would and for that reason, it doesn't make sense.
                    Martinez is not a 160 fighter did you see him against pavlik, he is a 154 fighter, just because you think so it aint true...

                      If he was serious about snagging a Mayweather/Pacquiao/Cotto fight he would've already been back @ 154 last year fighting a top 154 lb'er which would better set himself up with a fight with one of those 3, instead of taking a meaningless fight with Darren Barker. I question if he's even able to make 154 anymore, and is blowing hot air about coming down in weight and is just using Mayweather & Pacquiao's name to build his own rep.
                      Lets try this again. Pacman's team just said that the highest they would fight Cotto was at 148. 80% of boxing fans thought he lost to a lightweight. However somehow he beats Martinez at 154?? Listen bro, I need to get drunk with you, share the moonshine bro!!
