Re: Pac and Martinez to beat Floyd?
I've always favored Floyd over Martinez and Pacquiao. With Martinez, the weight would come into play, the higher the weight, the more likely Martinez has the chance of pulling the upset. I still may favor Floyd, even at 160, but its a closer fight than if it were at 150. Floyd doesn't believe in catch weights, at least that is what he stated prior to the Cotto fight, so it would be at 154.
The fight to make now is Cotto versus Martinez. Who do you like in that one?

If Berto beats Ortiz in their rematch, I bet that's the next likely fight for Floyd.
Re: Pac and Martinez to beat Floyd?
as much as pac struggled with marquez the counter puncher. it's the same way pbf struggles a left hand linear punch not necessarily a jab. i believe pac has a good chance this time. pac has a left hand lead faster and more powerful than cotto i believe.
Re: Pac and Martinez to beat Floyd?
Every boxer has that one guy that he has, or could have, all the trouble in the world against. For Pac, it's marquez...and he stepped in the ring with the guy 3 times, good for him. I can definitely see Pac being that guy for Floyd, especially now. Hes a southpaw and he doesn't stop coming, and he has a slight slight age advantage. In the past, when I watched Floyd, as soon as his back touched those ropes, he moved, got back to open space. His last 5 fights or so he hasn't been doing that, he stays their and gets roughed up a bit. He even got it a little against Ortiz. It's these moments where I see Pacman doing alot of damage to Floyd because unlike Ortiz and Cotto, Pac won't let him out of there without paying a hefty toll. And that will start from Round 1. If Cotto can do that kind of damage to floyd, I think pac can increase it by 30% to 40%. And I think it would force Floyd into a slugfest in the later rounds, which is why I think the fight would be epic. As far as Martinez is concerned, I don't know how excited I could get for that fight. They're both counter punchers and would be waiting on eachother all night. The rumor is that Martinez has floated an offer to Mayweather where Mayweather would take 80% of the purse. But it's just a rumor.

After the Marquez fight I thought PAC haszero chances after last saturday I can now say Pac is the better puncher/slugger. Make this a fight and PAC will hurt this guy.
