    if has the balls yes he should.. beating sergio at 154 is like more or less equal to knocking Pac. yes pac wouldve been easier as mentioned by most fans but the credit is about the same..

      Floyd and having balls....I'm not sure if they belong together. Huge respect if he takes on Sergio though.

        You'd think that, yes, but talks of Khan getting Mayweather (speculative, of course) or Cotto taking Canelo after his loss to Trout (again, speculative) make you wonder. The $$ you put in "a$$es" are ironically representative of what will most likely happen.

        Off-topic, but let's face it. Canelo probably would've taken Ortiz after his loss if he hadn't broken his jaw and if Lopez didn't appear to be any even easier opponent with the built in-excuse, "Well he beat Ortiz..."

            theres someone who answered NO? WTH is that? mayweather's reason for fighting a LW in JMM in 2009 was because he was calling him out. Sergio has been calling him out already for a long time now. Sergio is willing to drop in weight at 154 where Floyd is the champion, why not???? Sergio is inside top 4 by most fans, Floyd is number 1, so why not??

              maybe he'll be inspired by the 50 thing and the JMM thing. but thats wishful thinking, he's on his way out too, one last hurrah would be great. and would define him forever.

              tbh, i think the people would've given him more respect if he had fought pac without so many excuses than fighting sergio since many still think its a not a fight he needs, so its not really ducking anybody.

              he can't even make a very convincing bluff for manny for christ sake.
              and goes wild when ask about manny.

                Martinez should have a tuneup against Angulo or Kirkland at 154 after the Ward-Dawson debacle.

                  Of course I'd love to see May take on Sergio...but I'd be shocked, utterly shocked if Floyd actually stepped up to the challenge. He'll take the easy route.

                    I'd love to see it, but no way does Floyd take this dangerous, ****** fight near the end of his career. Sergio would batter him. Too damn big.

                      That's a lot of people that would much rather see a Martinez fight over Bradley, Guerrero, or even Canelo. Though like I mentioned if fought one of them in May I wouldn't have a problem with it as long as he took Martinez in September.
