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

[#1PaperChamp]

There's a reason the fight never happened.

Sergio would've had to come forward and he liked to counter-punch. Floyd would've done a lot of pot-shotting and clinching to be honest.

Tough to envision a Sergio win because even if he landed something Floyd showed he had a real deal chin. And Sergio never really put punches together...he would land 1 big shot and move himself. Aside from 1 punch KO I can't see Sergio beating Floyd in a decision...and Floyd isn't Paul Williams so he won't be getting clipped like that.

Floyd UD 8-4ish...but there's a reason the fight never happened.

If slow ass Judah stunned and knocked down Floyd imagine what Martines would have done.

160?

I pick Martinez. Floyd was really small for 154 and he never competed at 160.

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

Duran started at 118.

duran was not naturally bigger than floyd mayweather!! hello? the lights are on and you are typing, but is anyone really home?

duran started his career as a bantamweight in panama! he was 119 lbs. he was lightweigth champion of the world for seven years. he moved up to welterweight ten years later for the money, and later to middleweight, for the money and also for the buffet tables in las vegas. gives up half a foot in reach to mayweather. when duran lost in his prime to dejesus he was 137 lbs the morning of the fight, and at that weight he was horribly out of shape. in floyd's prime, when he was in serious financial trouble and facing an irs lean, he missed weight and came in at 146 lbs against marquez. they actually tried to strongarm marquez' people and the athletic commission on this on the week of the fight, after contracts were signed at 144. floyd was not quite the cash cow he is today, and the commission wouldn't budge. if he'd been an oz over the 2 lbs overweight he was he'd have been fined an extra 400k on top of the 6. if he was 1 more lb past that he'd have been fined 20% of his purse. they made a financial decision to miss weight and lose money in a time when floyd was broke because it was too much on his body to go below 146 lbs the day prior. duran was 145 the day of against leonard. floyd is smaller doe.


anyone going through mental gymnastics to say that floyd mayweather had a tougher run or fought better competition than roberto duran needs to stop and take a really long look in the mirror and confront your dishonesty as a man. same thing regarding their sizes. a shorter man with half a foot less in reach who campaigned as low as 119 lbs and was a lightweight on a same day weigh in for 7 years of his prime is smaller that floyd mayweather.

154 Floyd takes it.
A healthy Sergio @ 160 with his knees intact I think Sergio despite not being a physical fighter is just too big.

Floyds really only a WW

[alexguiness]

at that time, I remember thinking only two guys could give Floyd trouble

Lara and Sergio Martinez

but Floyd wasnt ever going to fight those guys

Lara vs Floyd would be like watching a 400m relay race lol.

Lol calm down bro I never knew Duran started at bantamweight until this forum pointed it out.

[pasawayako]

lol. this is a comedy. floyd was too scared to fight any threat and you want to imagine floyd fighting a big threat opponent. This is like saying what if a pig can fly.

[Ochoa780]

Martinez wins. He was something else before Fat Pothead Zombie Jr wrecked his knee.

You're crazy. Judah was just as fast as floyd in those days and floyd was counter punching pac man with ease. That's not regular hand speed
