Jeff Mayweather is so..... normal

i swear nobody beats floyd in fantasy match ups with these *****s...really you just CANT beat him in fantasy match ups

Haters and pac-tards are irreverent. At the end of the day Martinez is the #1 MW, is #3 P4P and has KO'ed/TKO'ed his last 4 opponents. He's also better than any 154lber....

Besides, these "haters" will do the same to Martinez as they would do to Pac if Floyd beats him... Your point is moot.....

Cool story bro but not buying it!

Hate? What about FACTS? Mosley was OLD when he fought Floyd. Floyd even said it .... but when others say it, it's all about hate .... lol!

Just remember, a Mayweather was the first to say that about Martinez .... I on the other hand said, if Floyd intends on fighting a Martinez, it better be very soon because if he doesn't then its obvious that people would say that ...

A record is very important but even that, once you get to a certain age, you need to take it one fight at a time AND Martinez had his moments last week but damn, he nearly blew it! If Macklin had a bit more in him, that fight could have gone the other way ..... but I say Bravo to Martinez because he did it at the end.

i agree...the only question i have is how often would floyd throw the right hand (or open up) knowing sergio can crack?..

sergio can get away with having his hands low if he's fighting someone who is not faster than him...floyd is a speedster and has the best right hand in the game which happens to be sergio's kryptonite..

Floyd beats Pac and Martinez at 154 and he can retire top 10-15 all time.

[turbotime]

Martinez only has a puncher's chance against Floyd. He just really isn't that good.

I remember bringing up that Sergio fights with his hands down..and that Floyd would make him pay for it..this was right after the Barker fight..some ppl were trying to say Sergio only does it when hes comfortable, which is bull..cause thats how he trains as well..Im glad Jeff notices that would be one of his issues fighting Floyd as well..
and skill vs skill..they are worlds apart..at 154, Floyd taxes that a$$..period.

Really the other guy got tired and slowed down. Big props to sergio for finishing the fight, because I thought he was losing the fight esp. after the bull knock down. He showed the hart of a true champ, but I just see money picking him apart at 154, I also don't ever see him fighting above 154. For what? Go ask Roy what happen when he got out his weight class! He should have never left MW! Now his legacy won't be the same! But unlike Roy, money uses more boxing skill than athleticism, so he'll last longer!

Your right on Macklin slowing down, he was forced to fight at a pace that he wasn't use to. From what I've seen of the guy in the past there was little more give and take not as much foot and head movement. That was the gameplan he tried to apply and eventually got tired doing it and that's when he really started getting caught.

I don't expect Floyd to tire, but what he definitely wouldn't have is the kind of size Macklin brought into the ring. I think that is the issue, would he be able to handle what martinez would throw at him. Floyd , I think is skilled enough to make up for what he would lack in terms of size, buy you never know. 154 would not be that big of a deal for Martinez to get down to, and he would rehydrate to his normal fighting weight. He's not that big of a middleweight as it.
is. The size and speed issue combined with him being a southpaw is creates major problems.

Jeff and Roger can talk all the **** they want but at the end of the day Floyd would be in the ring with an athlete with a combination of size and speed that is not comparable to anything he has ever been in with, and that's the reality of it.

+1

the size advantage will keep it interesting, esp at 154 but martines style, while effective against less physically gifted fighters, wouldn't be much of a problem for floyd. maybe a huge shot will shock floyd but most probably not. he'll pick martinez apart in the later rounds

That's how I see this one playing out also... I think the fight is Mayweather's to win or lose but he has to be careful because Martinez can definitely crack and he punches from crazy angles....

He aint been beaten the the ring either so I guess you lose on both counts !
