    Do you think floyd would fight him if sergio had a history of ppv fights like Cotto?
    So why was it ok for Floyd to fight Marquez and it's not ok to fight Martinez?

    He won't fight anyone who poses a lagit threat, you know this and so do I.

      You avoided my question. the JMM fight was years ago and I'm not sure how it relates to what I asked.

      I didn't imply it wasn't ok to fight sergio. Define a legit threat? Is that only someone bigger that he isn't favored to beat going in? Is it someone most posters feel he will lose to?

      I hope floyd does fight Sergio. If he does, and wins, lets hope we don't get posters who do a 180 degree turn like they did after he beat Shane.

        I didn't avoid your question, I answered it with a question of my own. What does it matter how long ago it was?

        Bottom line is, JMM had no business fighting Mayweather, none. For the record, I have said for over 4 years now that Mayweather beats Pac too.

        Mayweather is deathly afraid of losing that 0.

          At this present moment it is pretty clear Martinez is a better fighter than Shane was when Floyd decided to fight him. Margarito was never the same fighter after that fight and it likely had more to do with the lack of plaster than Shane.

              Triangle theories do not work. Also, that fight between Martinez and Margarito was 11 years ago. Martinez has vastly improved and Margarito may have cheated throughout his career and/or was in better physical condition at that point then he was when he fought Mosley.

                they do work. i just did it. mayweather wins via triangle submission.

                  People keep saying he is afraid to lose his 0 because Bert Sugar (rip) floated that. There is nothing to substaniate that. You again didn't answer, who is a legit threat?

                  The same criticism of floyd visa vi Martinez is similar to criticism he recived before fighting SHane. He's afraid to lose ), he's scred, shane will beat him. Then after the fight the narrative changed.

                  I just hope the narrative doesn't change should he fight and beat sergio.

                    May vs Martinez

                    You guys can forget about it.

                    That fight is even more elusive than May vs Manny

                    Its just never gonna happen. Forget about it.

                      There will always be doubters, but unless the we see a sharp decline in Martinez' performances soon then no one can legitimately call Floyd into question.

                      Mosley was a bit deceiving as his only notable win in recent years had been that Margarito fight. Margarito may been cheating for a while, so that win was probably not as impressive as originally thought.
