What is the single most thing Floyd Mayweather can do

[studentofthegam]

I've watched his career from start to finish. Most of these guys that are so judgemental of his career picked up around 06,07. I don't feel like he has a whole lot to prove to me. At this point its obvious most wont be happy until he's a broken man or going out with both eyes swelled shut. I would be impressed most if he left the sport with his 0 and enough money to stay out of the ring. So I guess the one thing he could do is retire gracefully.

150 is a Manny weight and it would hurt Martinez a lot , you cant throw numbers around like this , 150 would kill Martinez , too many on this board take the weights for granted .

Maybe so but Martinez himself volunteered that weight, I'm almost positive I read that in an article on BS.
It would be competitive at the full 154 I'd watch it at whatever weight.

He needs to bulk up for Canelo lol , he would be a blimp at 160 , people dont realize Floyd is "not" a big WW .

floyd's not a big WW? are you kidding me? i think you mean he's not a big LMW (154 lber).

what would he prove by fighting a 38 year old mw at 154??the fight would mean nothing..fight at 160 or there is no point...the lineal title is the only reason for this fight to happen man..other than that it is pointless and leaves to many excuses out there

see, some people like Reloaded wouldn't agree on mayweather/martinez taking place at the full 160 lb limit. i mean it's true, mayweather is not that big at 154, having him face the best MW would be a big challenge to ask for. i think a c/w would be perfect for this fight. have martinez come down a bit in weight (since he weighed 159 his last fight and will probably be around that weight against murray).
if it's at 154 and martinez loses, people will say martinez was drained. if it's at 160 and mayweather loses, people will say mayweather was too small for the weight. they meet in the middle, both sides compromise imo.

That is not completely true. Operating under that logic Joey Maxim must have been a more skilled fighter than Sugar Ray Robinson.

No Robinson was clearly winning that fight the heat stopped the fight not Joey Maxim....they even had to replace a ref due to the heat..come on man that is common knowledge

I know that is part of it, but Maxim was fighting through the same heat.

Mayweather is a small WW. 5'8 and starting at 130 somehow becomes a big welterweight is a damned joke.

Huge May weather fan here. That being said, If he signs at 160 there will be no excuses from me. "If you sign, you fight".

So why bring that fight up like he was beating Robinson or like he stopped him??skill was winning that fight

True it was there. Size can make a difference in some fights, but I shouldn't have brought it up there. That is actually more of a fight that shows size should not necessarily be used as an excuse for one top fighter to avoid another.
