The more I think about this, the more it makes sense to me..... Both fighters are justifiably considered master boxers with genuinely decent power..... The whole boxing world would buzz about this one.... You might think I'm crazy, but it could be a master stroke for Floyd....
I'm not suggesting a win for Floyd or Sergio here, just the possibility that would be a defining moment in either of their careers......
Sergio Martinez is getting old and is dealing with injury issues..... He's not a knockout artist, but he does have pop..... He's a huge name with great credentials..... No one would consider Martinez a cherry pick for Floyd.....
Floyd would have to fight at the highest weight he's ever fought at before...... But he did win at 154 so success at 160 should not be considered unrealistic..... I'd say a catch weight would work better for Floyd..... But at 160 he could take another belt in another weight division..... He would see this belt and Martinez as legacy material......
Risk vs Reward......
Sergio would be fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr, enough said.... Everyone is gunning for a Floyd fight.... Sergio would be getting a aging Mayweather at his highest weight ever and his power might not carry up that well.... His speed might also be compromised at that weight.... This is a fight Sergio might realistically win.....
A calculating Floyd Mayweather Jr might realize a true opportunity..... Sergio still considered the top dog at middleweight..... (Sorry GGG fans, GGG might actually be better but Sergio still wears the crown, until someone takes it from him......)
Floyd might be getting a diminishing Sergio..... Sergio is well past his prime and only has a few good fights left in him..... Sergio might be injured to the point where he'll never be the same again..... If Floyd can conclude that Sergio is ready to become human and someone out there is going to benefit from this, why not Floyd????? Sergio might be vulnerable right now..... A big win for Sergio over Miguel Cotto could mask this possibility......
Getting Sergio before GGG does would be genius...... Floyd would further Cement his legacy at middleweight also and avoid GGG...... After which Floyd could move back down and stay there.... Floyd is aging himself, a victory over a high profile Sergio Martinez might be the best opportunity Floyd will get vs a fighter everyone respects and is considered risky business for Floyd.....
Can you see the opportunity that I see???? It's all pure speculation on my part..... But this is boxing and boxing fans dream a lot..... So give me a pass and consider the possibility....
