Sergio certainly seemed like the type of dude to st around a fire and eat some flame grilled meat, Gaucho style.
Then sleep pressing your ass against a wall if the rumors are to be believed.

I'm sorry but I'm not a huge Martinez fan and didn't think much of him as a boxer. He had one huge KO of Williams and a lot of other so-so fights. He gets a lot more credit than he deserve. Mayweather would beat him so easy he would've been called a "cherry pick" as soon as the fight was over.
Canelo hasn't improved enough for me to think he could beat Mayweather at any stage. The fact that people think he has proves just how much better Mayweather is than everyone else.

Fights that didn't happen. Pacquiao 2009, Sergio Martinez after killing Paul Williams. I was giving Canelo a chance but after seeing the weigh in it was obvious he wasn't going to win. And also GGG early 2016.
Floyd hadn't fought prime A level fighter to really test his skills in the ring. The closest was Miguel Cotto at 154 buthe was already Pac and Marg left overs yet that was Floyd's closest fight to compare as a prime a level fighter.

Footnote: I've noticed lately a lot of dummies claiming Floyd was the underdog in the Diego Corrales fight. Corrales was moving up to Lightweight but things fell through so he took the Mayweather fight and had to cut a lot of weight. Chico came in weight drained, sluggish with no punch resistance. So don't try to recreate history.
But your question to ever the underdog/expected to lose, I'd have to say back in 09 when he SHOULD'VE fought Pacquiao, which is why he ran with his bs. I'm not making it up either, when that fight first came about, Floyd WAS the underdog, I remember it all around here in Vegas and there are multiple sources, but just a quick google search, I was able to find one for you

Originally posted by BoxingIsGreat View PostNo harm at all in talking. But, then, why did you shut out my comparison to Loma and GGG. No harm, right? Most fights can't be talked about without comparisons.
Anyway, I don't think Floyd ever set out to accomplish that, being a middle champ. He was above belts.
Question: Can you name a more accomplished fighter than Floyd in the last 15 years?

Floyd was too confident to have even considered that!
