I agree mate - definitely a legit challenge for Floyd
Yeah I would like to see that fight
i'd only wanna see this fight at 154
full props to flloyd if he does make the fight, and martinez, but we alrready knew he was willing to fight anyone. This would cement mayweather legacy imo as martinez (as far as i know) is probably the first man floyd would have fought who has proved himself to be a viable middleweight, let alone a light middle!
I feel the same about this fight as I did about the Mosley fight. It's a great fight, a big challenge for Mayweather, but it's still second best to a Pacquiao fight.
I wish boxing was run more like UFC in that there was only one main organization which mandated that the best fighters face each other. Mayweather - Martinez and Pacquiao - Margarito/Berto are all legitimate fights, but EVERYONE wants to see Mayweather - Pacquiao.
Think Floyd might wanna go up to MW for that one? Does Martinez have the title now or was Pavlik fight a non-title?
Ultimately, CFH you're right - the only fight anyone wants to see now is Pac vs May - Save these other good fights til afterwards
Martinez holds belts at LMW and a MW. The fight with Pavlik was a title fight.Quote:

We've gone from fight a little guy in pac, uh ok fight a real welter in shane, crap that didn't work now fight martinez, next scrap that if you really wanna be the best fight haye lol !!! I'm with yall i really am. I think that would be a real real interesting fight, but i think we're asking way too much of him. Martinez is just too big imo. The night of the fight what do you guys think thier weights would be if it were to happen ?
I say Floyd should fight Pac. If he wins fight Cotto at 154 if he beats Foreman. If he wins that then fight Martinez if he is still 160 champ at 160.
Might be asking too much but i could see him winning all 3.
JMM moved up two divisions and still he got fucked on the scales when we were all made to think it was gonna be a catchweight.Quote:

Im not doubting you but it does seem a strange move for Mzartinez. The fight would make him millions more than any other fight and Floyd may beat him but is less likely to hurt him than a true middleweight puncher like Pavlik.Quote:

This was confirmed over at boxing scene after scores of idiots were saying Martinez was scared and ducking Floyd.:vd:
That makes sense; thanks for clearing that up.Quote:

1. i like martinez.
2. while i acknowledge floyd's brilliance. i really can't stand him.
3. floyd would pick martinez apart. easy.
it would be interesting. martinez is a better athlete and is stronger. pbf quicker, better boxer..
