Thread: Could Sergio Martinez Upset Floyd Mayweather Jr ?

This fight would take place at Jr Middleweight, and Floyd Mayweather Jr certainly isn't no Jr Middleweight. Infact i think he's a natural Jr Welterweight, Sergio Martinez has the size and the speed.

Aswell as the Southpaw stance which will give Floyd Mayweather Jr problems, i've never ever bet against Floyd Mayweather Jr. And im not going to do now, but i can really sense an upset here.

Is Martinez moving back to 154? I thought he was staying at 160 now?

Hell can he even make 154?

Well im guessing its at 154, theres no way Floyd Mayweather Jr can make 160. Considering he couldn't even legitmately make the Jr Middleweight limit vs ODLH, unless its a catchweight i really don't know.

I'd have to say that this could be one step too far, but who knows..... I personally like Martinez, but also think he doesn't have a whole lot of variety. Even Pavlik started to figure him out before he got cut and wilted. Thing is there, that Mayweather could be out cold inisde 3 before he figures him out as the way Williams went down again Martinez, I say Martinez has plenty of power to stop Floyd. Tough one to call and a definate threat. Not sure about 160 though....

Floyd is a natural Welterweight now.

He couldn't make 144 for the Marquez fight last year, no way does he make 140.

I favor Floyd against Martinez.

Martinez is bigger and has boxing skills but he is hittable and he does seem to take rounds off which is something you can't afford to do against Mayweather.

1. i like martinez.
2. while i acknowledge floyd's brilliance. i really can't stand him.
3. floyd would pick martinez apart. easy.

Not with those hands down like that.Floyd way to sharp and would have that right hand zeroed in,with rapid combinations.

Unless this is for the 160lb belt what is the point?? Am pretty sure the mention of fighting Martinez is due to the fact Mayweather can win another title in another division.

with a LUCKY punch yes, otherwise no. I am saying this without remorse I will not be suprised if Mayweather wins a 6th division title at 160. As much as I dislike the man, he is the man until beaten.

Interesting thread but unfortunately it's never going to happen. Well, it might but not without Floyd making Martinez lose a pretty good amount of weight to make it happen. Floyd makes the rules in this negotiation so I don't see him losing this one. But he won't fight Williams so I don't see him fighting Martinez.

At the moment, I find it very hard to bet against Mayweather for most of the potential fights he could be involved in...

Hard fight, I'd probably favour martinez.

As much as i hate to agree, I Must.

I can make theoretical arguments for contenders, but he surprises me with every fight.
