Floyd Martinez the next logical fight, GGG is a big dude and Martinez has been getting dropped in all his last fights... Seriously?

Gatti was Ring magazine's #1 ranked jr welterweight contender to then champion Ricky Hatton (who Floyd later KO'd as an undefeated figther) when Floyd fought him. He was a legit opponent.
Baldomir was the universally recognized and lineal welterweight champ when Floyd fought him. Just because an underdog champion is holding the title doesn't make him any less legit.Comment

WOW,, after reading and then reading the first twenty replys I must concur with most of the first twenty replys.
I am astonished at "MOVEMENT" to protect and preserve Mayweather JR.
He has been handed opponents on a SILVER PLATTER and when we want to see him make a legit defense of his nonsense we get THIS, not just from his fans but from a writer, which if that floats yer boat then float it.
but the same applys to the fans and writers that use the words "idiocy" "silly"
Mister Lyle : Please sir tell us the PRIME ELITE WELTER WEIGHT fighter that JR has fought that "DEFINES" him as an All time great.
JR was a good light weight champ, he was beaten in the first Castillo fight, right ? AHA !!! We must be fair Mister LYLE.
We must be fair and cannot protect when one is to be crowned an all time great !
Like for instance what is the Criteria ??? I say we can start with the QUALITY OF OPPONENTS !!!!!!!!!
The list you gave are sorely found WANTING
For this REASON
WE want to see JR in a real to LIFE FIGHT, a fight for REAL , not just names but PRIME ELITES
Poor JC has law problems , health problems , and JR seized the moment
and Gatti ???????? We all loved Gatti but we all knew it would be a Killing, he was WORN out yet you would not acknowledge that ???????
What is this that JR must be PROTECTED and PRESERVED ????
Somebody tell me WHY?
WE ALLLLLLLLLLLL know that JR loves to fight the broken, worn out OLD ELITES in their days and Sergio is getting there fast.
WHY didn't JR take the Challenge and face him a few years ago ?
NOW we have TRIPLE G and you mock him, he is PRIME, he is ELITE, he said he can come down to JR's weight of 154 and fight him there !!
JR has been truly challenged by a PRIME ELITE
if he gets by Canelo then if there are any balls then by all means forget Sergio and face a true Threat.
GO WHUP GGG and then he might be considered one of the all time greats.Comment

LOLs, so Pac deserves criticism for making catchweights, but Cherrypicker doesn't. Hypocrite
Its not a cherrypick for GGG because GGG is still largely unproven. GGG just has tremendous upside. Martinez is past prime now. The expectation is that GGG would good boy Martinez. So its not necessarily a cherrypick for GGG.
It would be a cherrypick for Floyd because Martinez is past his prime, and Floyd waited for Martinez to be ripe for the picking before he fought Martinez. He would've gotten a lot more credit if Martinez didn't have that poor showing against Murray, but then again, Floyd wouldn't even want to fight Martinez if Martinez didn't struggle, hence the cherrypick.Comment

I'm not really sure how good Canelo is but after watching part of that S1ht gurrero fight I can see why Floyd has been so protected. He can't punch for ****. He def avoided Pac for fear of not being able to out run him like he does everyone else. Floyds great at avoiding a fight even when its right in front of him. ,maybe he just looks like crap against lefties not sure but there is a reason hes avoided any real prime dangerous fighters since JLC that much is clearComment

If any random person took a really big shit on a keyboard and hit 'send' they'd probably come up with a better article than anything Lyle Fitzsimmons has ever written.Last edited by Clegg; 07-05-2013, 10:03 AM.Comment

I think Mayweather can find plenty of opposition without having to go to Middleweight. That may be too much of a division to jump.Comment
