    Two reasons:

    1. Martinez can beat floid
    2. Floyd is a cherry picking chicken shit

    No way maidana, guerrero, or ortiz is a bigger draw than sergio

      Floyd can't fight Martinez because FILL IN THE BLANK WITH EXCUSES.

      but

      Floyd can fight Maidana, Guerrero, Baldomir, ......


      Even Floyd said "Who is Guerrero? What has he done?"

        Like all the other guys that he eventually fights .... TOO LATE! Should have happened years ago not in 2015-2106

          i think floyd vs martinez could sell at least as much as maidana or guerrero. But i rememeber right before martinez vs williams 2 floyd said he would probably fight the winner.... brutal KO... floyd never mentions martinez name again. And the fight could have been at 154 easily, he fought three times at that weight before and besides canelo is probably just as big naturally as martinez, maybe even bigger, only thing is canelo is younger so its easier for him to drain the pounds

              Floyd didn't before that point but no way after that would Floyd have taken that fight. Too much of a challenge for TBE

                No point unless Serg is willing to drop down. And I mean actually do it and not just talk about it. Two years ago 154 was on fire with Canelo, Cotto, Trout (before being exposed), and Floyd. But he chose to fight a few English bums and hold on to his 160 pound title. No harm in that but he missed out on some good fights.

                    Floyd swerved Martinez like the plague after the Williams KO. If Floyd led the fight, that would happen to him. If he let Martinez lead, he would get blitzed all night.

                      Sergio took the 1st fight on short notice because pavlik pulled out of his fight with Williams due to staph infection.Sergio said his trainers spotted a weakness in Williams prior to the second fight.Sergio tagged him over and over with the overhand right.Stop telling lies.
