And then if he does fight them, he didn't fight a "PRIME" version of said fighter. -
All these guys had to do to get a fight with Floyd was to keep winning. Khan keeps winning and he lands that fight. Margarito doesn't get KTFO by Mosely and he gets the fight. Tszyu beats Hatton and he could demand the Mayweather fight. Paul Williams keeps winning and he would have eventually gotten the fight.
Martinez got beat up and beat down, so he didn't get the fight. Hatton and Canelo got the fight because they never lost to anyone. Mosely got the fight by destroying Margarito. All Cotto had to do to get an immediate fight was leave Arum. You want to fight the best, you better keep winning.Comment

Martinez had a unique style, but i think Floyd would have worked him out and pot shotted him to to clear UD.Comment

I dont think the style of Martinez is really that difficult for Mayweather. He is awkward and a southpaw, that's true, but his style really depends on him being faster and quicker than his opponent.
It worked well at middleweight, because none of his opponents were especially athletic. Murray, Macklin, Chavez Jr., Williams, Pavlik, Dzinzuruk are decent opponents, but none of them offered a tricky style.
I dont see how Martinez is going to outbox Mayweather for big stretches of the round and he doesnt have the intense pressure style of Maidana or Castillo to make Mayweather uncomfortable and be able to just outwork Mayweather.
Martinez relied much on his counterpunching skill, but Mayweather was one hell of a counterpuncher too and is defensively one of the best.
Martinez on the front foot has a very basic punch variety, mostly jabs and straights, he doesnt really have an inside game.
The prime Mayweather at 147, moving up to 154 for Martinez would win a very cautiously fought 9-3 decision.Comment

Conor? Pacquiao? Berto? Judah? Maidana? Marquez? Ortiz? Mosley? Cotto? When Martinez was calling him out he was on a winning streak and was the MW champ lolOriginally posted by Johnny2x2x View PostComment

Lol these people are pathetic with the Mayweather whining... so on would beaten him...guess what? He's 50-0....no one beat him. He's retired and that's all there is too it.
Oh and btw, oscar (who would've beaten sergio) couldn't beat Floyd at his own weight... Sergio wasn't beating him...sorry.Comment
