Plus Martinez is a small middleweight. If you're fighting him anyway, why not take the extra risk and fight at Middle for the title?

BTW Floyd weighed 150 on the scales for DLH fight and rumour is he was 147 on fight night. Saying he doesn't take risks when he fought the best 154lber at a massive size disadvantage is a bit silly..I think he'll go to Middle for Martinez..

Exactly. Martinez would struggle with the movement.

How do you think Floyd would have done if hed been in De La Hoyas place against Hopkins?

I remember Oscar doing well and landing up until he got caught;D

It would be a very risky fight at MW but I think Floyd has the skill to outpoint Martinez. I doubt it happens at MW, its more likely to happen at 154. It would definitely be a bigger win than beating Pacquiao.

It would be too risky and if he did it then he would be rated very highly as an ATG if he won but think it will never happen.
