Comments Thread For: Martinez, not Golovkin, is the middleweight for Mayweather

[Fetta]

Lyle, Sergio is to beaten up for Floyd. Maravilla is pretty much shot for his age and he had a lot of tough battles, but it will be a good fight to watch. 3G will pick Martinez apart at this point of his career and TKO Floyd if that fight ever happens. Andre Dirrell was one of the most promising boxer in the amateurs until he lost to Golovkin..to beat a guy like Dirrell, you are special!

Like i said NSB are losing their minds

If anyone doubts this, I challenge any of the haters on this board to name one fighter that either Golovkin or Alvarez has beaten who can come compare in any way to the list of fighters that this writer mentioned in this article.

Here's an easy one: Canelo beat Trout, undefeated SWW champ, beat Cotto. Compare Victor Ortiz who is 1-1-3 careerwise vs top 10 comp. I think Soto Karass might beat that.

And here's the kicker, cause I know YOU personally were very upset over catchweights: Ortiz has never beaten a top 10 guy in 2 divisions without a CW. His "FOTY" vs Berto was a CW. Did you know this? How pathetic is this record, tell me.

Wait. If sergio said he would move down and fight Floyd, than how is he cherrypicking ? But now Sergio is a bum. First Canalo now the fight is on and we have move on to GGG before this fight. If Floyd and PAC win they may fight with one of his remaining fights for even more money than before, but I know what would make you hater happy, HE SHOULD FIGHT THEM AT THE SAME TIME ||||||||||||

It's not WHO Mayweather has fought, but WHEN he fought them. De La Hoya was WAAAAY beyond his best years, and was like 3 jabs away from beating Mayweather. He took on Cotto only after he was damaged goods, and Cotto ****ed up his face. He fought Sugar Shane well passed his best as well, and was almost put down early. He never went near Williams or Margarito when they were both incredibly dangerous for Floyd's style. He kept finding reasons to duck Pacquaio when Pac was tearing through everybody, and now he's taking on a Canelo who isn't even close to ready for this level of competition.

It's all about the 'when'. When he avoided certain guys, and when he fought others.

Also, Baldomir and Gatti were not legit champions.

Actually, Ortiz vs. Berto was initially at a catchweight but ended up being at 147.

so Floyd should never get credit! Not even v Canelo, who is the fighter EVERYONE wanted but Floyd shouldn't get credit?

Berto, the WBC welterweight titleholder, and Ortiz have agreed to a catch weight of 145 pounds plus one, or in effect 146. That’s one pound below the welterweight limit.

Okay, maybe you're right after all. I could have sworn though that they eliminated the catchweight at some point. I've been told before they did, but I can't find anything supporting that.

They wrangled over it for a while, this is what they agreed on. But here's what gets me: how can you have a high profile fight like this (many people's FOTY, not mine), right in the middle of the Catchweight Witchhunt Era (RIP May 2013), and hardly anyone noticed. Amazing selective vision. This is not at you of course, as a survivor of that era you can understand.

The man shouldn't be fighting Middleweights.....Middleweights should be fighting Middleweights. That's too hard for these idiots to comprehend.

Get the fakk outa here... Floyd the coward fought lightweight Marquez at Floyd´s weight and even wighed more so he was penalized. Floyd fought Cotto at 154. And doesn´t Floyd believe in his twisted and ******ed mind that he is the greatest?? He is already draining Canelo, and is scared and has always avoided, Martinez. Golovkin kills him too, unless he runs and hugs like a b1tch all night. ( his normal self).
