    Floyd-iot: Floyd is the best fighter in the world.Don't ask me, ask 90% of the experts who say the same thing.Floyd-iot: Why are people not pushing for Manny/Martinez?Cause the reality is, Manny can only look good/beat a certain kind of fighter under certain stipulations.

      The general excuse is that Manny's too small, yet that didn't prevent him from fighting DLH or Margarito.

        I don't see why not this fight should happen eventually. Manny already proved he can destroy bigger guys like Margarito. He would dominate Martinez in a one sided shutout. Pacquiao already said he won't fight above 150 anymore though because it's too much of a strain.

          Question is why don't you want the best for your hero? Aren't most arguments in this forum center around most of the time? You're supposed to be grabbing Martinez before someone gets him first. Know what I mean?

            Because we want Mayweather to. Mayweather suggested it after the Mosley fight. It makes sense.

              First he's not my hero, but Floyd is clearly the best "all around fighter of this era".
              I think he should fight Sergio @ 60, there is nobody from 47 & 54 that has more than a punchers chance.
              Sergio also would only have a punchers chance also, but @ 60? That's a tall hill to climb. I'd love to see if Floyd could pull it off, but is he didn't I'd still have major respect for him stepping up (Legit 60, no CW shyt like some guys)

                    But I noticed that even the most blobbling slurping Manny fans are not asking for Manny to take on Sergio, why not?

                    Can't say he's too big, he's not too big for Floyd. Plus Sergio is an inch shorter than both Oscar & Tony "The Mason" Margarito.

                    If Floyd can scrap with Serg, Manny should be able to rite? Aint he the best and would beat Floyd?
                    you give me a link or you are just making things up.

                      He conveniently said it AFTER Martinez said he'd fight him to get his title back. First, he didn't want to move up..Martinez "leaves" vacant title..Pac moves up..Martinez challenged...Pac moves down.


                      I think Pac just isn't skilled or big enough to compete with him. If Martinez was as short as him, and at around his weight...sure, he'd make a good fight out of it....but even then he might not even be favored stylistically. There's a difference in fighting some giant idiot like Marg, and fighting Martinez. Not worth the grief. But he shouldn't have moved up if he was going to complain about it.

                      Anyway, that fight will NEVER EVER EVER EVER happen. Floyd - Ward would happen before that at 168...actually no...Floyd and BERNARD would happen before Martinez and Pac
