Can Mayweather win a title at Middleweight?

[CLUE]

I can see Mayweather even beating Martinez at this stage.

Everyone can see it, except Big Floyd who than in turn convinces Floyd not to take such fights.



Floyd does not listen to his father when it comes to life, but he does when it comes to boxing.

I think he can beat Sergio. Not so sure with GGG though

Thats ***ing funny. Floyd beating Sergio...at 140 maybe.

If Cotto beats Martinez, Mayweather will win a title at middleweight.

Cotto has not got the size or power to do so. He isn't durable nor does he have great stamina. IMO Martinez has too much for Cotto.

I'm not sure why fans keep moving Floyd up higher and higher when he's pretty much demonstrated that 154 is as high as he can go, and he can't really make that. He isn't as effective when he's that heavy, but I can understand the appeal, some folks want Floyd to face not just a challenge but a challenge he can't win. At some point this becomes kind of ******.

Hopkins talking about dropping all this weight he's been carrying around comfortably for years for a shot at Mayweather at 154 or 160, that's just ****ing ******ed. Why don't some people admit, it isn't even about Mayweather going to middleweight to win a title, they just want to see this guy lose so bad, which is why Broner took a lot ****. In the event the real Mayweather can't lose we'll take the pathetic mockery in his place.

I just want to see Mayweather in a good fight myself.

Floyd Mayweather Jr (5′ 8″) should take the fight with Hopkin, Martinez or Kid Chocolate in later 2014

Miguel Cotto (5′ 7”) coming soon to Middleweight's
Oscar De La Hoya (5′ 10½″)
Thomas Hearns (6’1”)
Sugar Ray Leonard (5’10″)
Roberto Duran (5′ 7”)
Henry Armstrong (5’5 ½”)
Sugar Ray Robinson (5’11”)

^ those guys when up to middleweight

He need to go for it

Martinze is right there for the taking, Mayweather is fool for not taking that fight. Winnable, and still would get tons of praise.

But when its comes to boxing he listens to the garbage his father tells him when it comes to match ups. Like the pointless catch weight on Canelo, which was not needed. That was his fathers idea. And his father is the one that was Pushing the Pac on Roids thing also, and Mayweather followed.

The fact that he has belts @ 154 lbs is amazing considering that isn't even his weight class. And he's always outweighed by his opponents by a factor of 10, even when at Welterweight. That stuff is amazing in itself.

Going up to 160 lbs is too much, and the only reason people ask for that is because they indirectly or directly want to see him lose or struggle big time in a fight. People want him to fight at 160 lbs, so then he'll be at a 25+ lbs disadvantage. Haha. And if Floyd wins @ 160 lbs, I guarantee you people will say well what about 168 lbs? Go fight Andre Ward, or that Ward can come down to 160 lbs, make that fight.

The frustrating thing is that he could possibly move up to middle. He's that skilled. However, Sergio at this point would still be too much for him IMO. And he'd have absolutely NO chance at beating GGG at 160. Plus Danny Rafael said it best - if he won't even fight Pacquiao, why would he fight a monster like GGG

^^^^^ me too

The landscape in the sport changes so quickly, Money May could have 10 different viable opponents between now and then. I wouldn't mind it, but I'd like him to face the lineal MW champion, whoever it may be at that time.

Cotto has not got the size or power to do so. He isn't durable nor does he have great stamina. IMO Martinez has too much for Cotto.

Neither does Sergio.
