    Floyd, Ward, B-Hop, Marquez, Dawson. Like that.

    Martinez is top 10 though. He's not a dumb fighter, but what he did in the 12th round was dumb though.

      Does anyone really think May would even get into the ring with Martinez?
      Mayweather likes aggressive fighters that compliment his style, not boxers that counterpunch and definately not middleweight southpaws.

            This has been proven when Macklin boxed Martinez, he looked uncomfortable in there. He also didn't like that Barker was so defensive. Three things Mayweather has, he boxes, counterpunches and is defensive.

              Then why are you trying so hard to discredit the fight and protect Floyd? Make up your mind already.

                Ohhh, so that's why he fought a junior middleweight titleholder, Dzinziruk, at 160. Because ...oh wait...

                  Not probably ... it is. Pac vs May would be fun to watch but at this point most people see floyd as a HEAVY favorite. MvM would be the without a doubt the best vs the best, not just in divisions but in P4P.

                    2 things they both had, power/size. Floyd's not sturdy enough at 154/160 to aggressively box Sergio. You think Floyd can just pot shot Sergio and get away with it? You box with Sergio, your getting tagged back, ALOT. Floyd aint built to handle that type of punishment.

                    Besides Floyd would never box with Sergio the way they did. They came at Sergio, pressured him, stood int he middle of the ring, and boxed with him. Floyd won;t and can't afford to do that.
