How would Floyd vs Sergio Martinez have gone in 2010-2012?

But Duran didn’t start as a pro at super featherweight either tho he was naturally bigger than Floyd.

Did you read my previous post Duran weighed 132 to win the title back in the 70’s when it was same day weigh in . By today’s Standards Duran would have been champ at Featherweight first because we all know a Featherweight is fighting at 135 to 140 by fight day Duran didn’t have this luxury like fighters today who weigh in 1 or 2 days before the fight

How many boxers that competed at 130lbs went for a 160lb title? Oscar is the only one I can think of. Oscar is naturally bigger than Floyd and he had to rob Sturm for his belt. Oscar then got stopped by Hopkins. 5 divisions is better than most boxers, . Why didn't Martinez become a 5 division champ? Challenge doe... .

Because he started at 154 and it's a lot harder to win titles in multiple divisions when you start higher up.

For Martinez, that would have meant winning titles at 154, 160, 168, 175 and cruiserweight.

The only top guys I can think of who even competed in all of those divisions are: Thomas Hearns, James Toney, and Roy Jones Jr.

I'm sure there might be more but my point is that it's much easier to jump divisions when you start lower.

At some point, a guy will just be too big. Conor was almost too big (granted Floyd was 40). Martinez at 160 would surely be the favorite. Floyd was great but he never had to take risks like that once he moved up in weight. People were more willing to pay more money to see him fight less risky fights, on his own terms. Fun fight to think about.

8-4 type of UD for Floyd. Floyd was too fast, too smart, too defensively sound, too agile, and all around better than Martinez in every category but power. Sergio never faced anyone the caliber of Floyd. Cotto would've knocked him out when he had good knees. There's levels and Martinez is well below Floyd and even Cotto. The size wouldn't help someone trying to outbox Floyd and not really using the size advantage. His length wouldn't help as much either since he wasn't really fast. He would've been pull countered all night.

The Martinez that Cotto beat was damaged goods. His knees were so messed up that he could barely even move much in the ring.
