    With that said, if Martinez beats Cotto, I really don't see a bigger fight out there that can realistically be made than Mayweather vs Martinez. That fight would be 1. Money fight, 2. Legacy fight, and 3. Probably fun to watch.
    No doubt but until I see Martinez, I question his age and legs. To me, a Martinez fight does more for Mayweather (at this point) than a Pac fight. However I know regardless of how Martinez looks from here on out, people will say he was old and past his prime. See Mosley fight.

    Over all I'm with you, Martinez is THE FIGHT. Would be hard to watch cause I'm fans of both but for me, that IS the fight.

      I'd love to see it, Lara and Bradley are the guys I want to see Floyd in with.

            well now your hearing it from two people, just because i dont really see the fight happening doesnt mean i dont want it to. I actually think it would be a decent story line, that whole Floyd dethroned the cubans in the olympics could he do it again in the pro ranks kinda thing. Not to mention lara is a south paw. I'd like to see the bradley, pac fights as well.

              Chances are it would be a boring chess match considering their styles, but at the same time one hell of an intriguing fight. This is an acceptable option in my opinion.

              I really hope Floyd doesn't fight Khanned.

                It would be a very close fight, that's for sure. Lara is one of the the very few fighters capable of beating Floyd.

                  Lara's straight left is devastating.

                  Floyd knows fighting Lara would be a massive risk, so we'll never see the fight.

                    I think everyone thinks that. Even the Khan supporters are silent. I truly think he's going after Maidana now because he did very well TV ratings vs Broner plus there is a story that would help sell the fight.

                    Could be wishful thinking... only time will tell.

                      If it's between Khan and Maidana, I hope he fights Khan.

                      Khan's speed and combination punching will give Floyd his toughest fight in years. And Floyd hasn't got the power to take advantage of Khan's biggest weakness (his chin).

                      Floyd would win a shutout against Maidana, it'd be a walk in the park.
