Should Floyd fight Sergio Martinez in September?

[Calabis]

sergio martinez would kick floyds ass and he should!!! thats fight should never get made, if that fight had any potential to get made sergio would be fighting at 154 in the upcoming bout but hes not, there are alot of good names at 160-175 for martinez...floyd, pac, and JMM and many other current boxers have all went up in weight a hell of alot of times, serg needs to fight a top name there even quillin for his last bout after 2 more! no way in hell floyd fights that dude, him nor trout... not even cotto belongs at 154 but he loves to eat so... but get over it floyd will not and should not fight that dude! hes too big for floyd who is even a small WW

Finally someone with sense....its amazing how people are saying Floyds only fights are 170 lb dudes....Floyd cant even get to 154...if Martinez comes down that far and Floyd wins....people will just say because the weight drain. The Manny loss sucks right now.

He'd sooner take a Victor Ortiz rematch than a fight with Sergio. When was the last time Floyd fought someone significantly bigger than him? Umm, never?

Try watching his career, several of his move up fights, the opponent was bigger, with no catchweight requirement....I'm not a huge Mayweather fan, but this is the kind of bs hate that is pitiful

Even in the lower weights he fought guys far bigger (Corrales? Castillo?) but, to me, as long as you take on the best available opponents in your division, I'm fine with that.

I had thought Martinez's camp said that he was done fighting at 154?

Martinez is ducking Ward.

Well the difference here is that Martinez is willing to fight Mayweather at 154 where Floyd currently holds his WBA title and where Martinez had previously held a title (WBC) himself. Meanwhile, Ward isn't willing to go down in weight to fight Martinez nor is he willing to fight Martinez at a catchweight because 168 is his limit (it's probably true)--he mentioned this in a recent interview.

That not true...Ward is on record (google it) saying he would go down to 160 to fight Martinez. Ward started his professional career at 160...Mayweather is not a career 154 (2 fights), you can now call Martinez a career midleweight.


It more of a challenge to fight up than moving down to fight smaller guys.

I think its the best fight out there and probably the biggest money behind maybe a pacquiao fight for him but he will never do it. I dont see why guerrero is even discussed if money is always an issue with him doesnt seem like a big money fight

It's definitely not a big money fight. Martinez would bring in more money than Guerrero at this point.

tweeted last month that a move down to 160 pounds for a big-money fight "would be tough, but not impossible. But very tough!"

I would love to fight Martinez but I don't think it is possible because of the weight. Martinez's people say that he is a small middleweight and they are right. They say that if I go down to 160 then a fight could happen but I don't think that is possible
