        Floyd vs GGG or any of the middleweights, is not a fight that I want to see at all at this point, none of them deserve it. People always go too far. IF, and this is a big if, one middleweight cleans up the division and is the outright middleweight champion, like Martinez was recognised for a while, then you could say Floyd could go for that fight. But that would completely be his prerogative. It would be a super legacy enhancing fight and if he were to win, it would elevate him significantly in terms of his ATG status.

        Kind of like Hagler vs Leonard, or De la Hoya was Hopkins. Floyd, if he wants to have a chance at breaking into the top 10 needs to have his 'no hoper' fights as I like to call them. When he is really back to the wall. But I don't see that fight yet, there isn't a real fearsome standout middleweight champion of the world. Someone like Winky Wright would have been perfect when he was near the top of the p4p list. But let's see if someone emerges. For my money, I'm not sure Floyd will ever challenge himself like that, maybe his attitude will change towards the end of his career, but I doubt it.

        Ultimately he has done enough, for the fans, for everyone. But has he done enough for himself. That desire to do something incredible, unbelievable, unprecedented, has to come from within. Take SRL for example, he looked at Hagler and thought, "I can beat this guy" when no one else believed. Despite Floyds ability, I have always doubted whether he has had that kind of confidence. He has always struck me as someone who is very insecure because of his upbringing, and has never really realised just how good he is. You can tell this just from small things like the behaviour of his corner when he has a bad round, Ellerbe always comforts him, Roger comforts him. He has to be reassured, and I can almost guarantee its been the same in the past when he has picked certain opponents. That doesn't mean he's not great, just a fragile character, even if he's far from that in the ring,
        ???Martinez IS THE DAMN CHAMP STILL

          Floyd's fighting Martinez or the Garcia/Matthyse winner next. The GGG fight is ******, but he is the biggest threat. If he can make 154, why not. But he's gotta beat some credible opponents before anything happens. Right now, Martinez is the most deserving for the fight.

            Can Martinez make 154, if so that opens up a lot of sexy fights
