    Sometimes, Mayweather nuthuggers/some fans on this site make themselves look really bad.

    "Mayweather shouldn't fight Martinez, he's too big and Floyd will get no credit."

    "Mayweather shouldn't fight Pacquiao, he'll get no credit."

    "Mayweather should fight Alvarez."

    *After Floyd kicks Alvarez's ass, which everyone knew would happen and was the reason no one wanted to see the fight*

    "Floyd doesn't get any credit no matter who he fights! Haterz!"

    Yeah, no sh** he didn't get credit, that wasn't the fight we wanted to see! They expect Floyd to get credit over fighters he never even f***ing fights when he beats people we didn't want him to fight.

      He's fought twice at Junior Middleweight, including his last fight. So why can he fight "certain" fighters at that weight but not others?

          Here's the facts;

          Mayweather is a Champion at 154.

          Martinez can or say's he can make 154 healthily.

          Both are Top 5 P4P.

          I don't see why there's such an issue.

          Will Martinez outweigh Mayweather by a lot on fight night? Yes.

          So what? This is what greatness is all about!
          Just because you can make the official limit doesn't mean that you belong in a certain division (as Chavez demonstrates regularly). So now size doesn't matter when it comes to P4P elites? Like I said, we're not talking about Fight Night characters, there's a limit to how much size difference I consider acceptable, at least when it comes to elite vs elite.

          I'm not against this fight, I'm just saying it's not necessary.

          Oscar only had two fights at 160 and didn't belong there and Cotto is a blown up welterweight.

            So Floyd can only fight old men or blown up welterweights at 154.

            Gotcha.

              The skill difference between Mayweather and Martinez is wide. Dont let Lampley and Kellerman fool you. Mayweather beats him. Convincingly.

              The fight isnt happening. Hell now Martinez wants Cotto.

                Cotto your new human shield then?

                Martinez has always wanted Cotto (and Floyd).

                Why are you acting like this is news?

                  Would be a close fight, Martinez' constant movement could frustrate Floyd.... but ultimately how can you ever bet against Floyd?

                    No but you act like there's no physical difference between Cotto, Oscar and Martinez.

                    Ask me if I have a problem with Floyd fighting Canelo, ask me if I have a problem with Floyd fighting Lara.

                      They both weigh in at 154lbs.

                      Stop making excuses.
