    War of the minds: Mayweather Vs. Martinez

    Both of these guys in my opinion have the highest ring I.Q. How do you guys see a chess match between them panning out. Right now, I think Martinez would be too much for money.....physically and now mentally.

    As I have always thought, Mayweather in a close but clear UD unless Sergio catches Floyd with something nasty.

      Ring IQ goes to B-Hop & Ward who do more with less. But between Floyd & Martinez in this fantasy fight do to Floyd not willing to fight Martinez, Martinez is too big, too fast & too strong for Floyd. Floyd gets stopped at some point, or quits.

        floyd's boxing I.Q. is much higher than martinez's... what martinez has in his favor is that he'll be the hardest puncher floyd has ever faced, he's southpaw, he can take middleweight power, and he can be slick and he's fast... floyd's never faced anyone like that before... I seriously doubt he'll fight martinez until martinez has slipped.

          Sergio would be too big, too strong, too powerful for floyd. Plus sergio's stamina is crazy.

            I.Q. wise?

            Mayweather and Ward.


            ...and I loooooove Sergio.

            Would you ever - EVER - see Mayweather looking like that in a 12th round of a fight he just dominated?

              Didn't B-Hop once say that Floyd has higher ring IQ than him?

                I think it was him and Delahoya that said he was the greatest of his generation.

                  if it is not done at 160 then I don't want to see it...I don't want to see a Drained Martinez and I really don't want to see a Blown Up over sided Mayweather to the point in which it effects the way he fights

                  So if this fight happens great...if not I am OK with that, I think it is ****** to put pressure on Mayweather to move up to 160 to fight Martinez...lets say he does that and beats Martinez, then most of you will be saying he should move up to 168 to fight Ward, then he should move up to 175 to fight Dawson, then he should move up at 200 and fight Pablo Hernandez...it has to be a limit at some point

                  Mayweather is great at what he does but he is STILL HUMAN, some fans are just desperate to see him lose that they are asking for him to almost do the IMPOSSIBLE!

                  Canelo and Pacquiao then retire is a Good Enough way to end your career, a fight with Martinez would be a BONUS I guess...but I would think Now Martinez is a PPV Draw, so does he even need Pacquiao and Mayweather for a big pay day...a rematch with Chavez Jr will finally give him to BIG PAY DAY he deserves then after that and he wins that he should be able to squeeze out a few more PPV Fights, him vs GGG could be a Huge PPV Fight
