    And you could also say Paul Williams was lucky in there 1st meeting aswell, it was hardly a lucky shot. Paul Williams ain't no defensive genius his chin is there to be hit.

    Floyd Mayweather has two options with regards to getting a high income generating fight: it's either with Manny Pacquiao (provided he wins against Marquez) or Sergio Martinez. Who he fights first between the two (if he ever does that) will depend on who he thinks will be of less risk.

    We all know that a fight with Pacquiao will get him the most money. Why would Floyd fight Martinez for less money if the risk of a loss is greater? If he does that, it's because he perceived Martinez as a lesser risk. Floyd may have seen flaws in Sergio that FinitoElDinamita saw.

    I think that fighting Martinez is riskier so I believe the rumours are just that ...... rumours.

    Yeah it was far from a lucky shot martinez tagged him with the same punch three or four times prior, the one that knocked him out tho landed with full force and williams didn't see it comming. If they rematch martinez knocks him out again cause for whatever reason he refuses to put up his hands, and I like paul and was screaming at the tv in the lara fight to put his dam hands up. As for pbf fighting martinez ill believe it when I see it...

    Why has Floyd avoided Cotto all these years?

    Floyd would not dare, if he did then he truly would be a great to take someone as dangerous as Matinez.

    After the forthcoming war with Margarito, if he wins, I'm sure the combined damage of all these wars will have taken their toll. I think you may then see Floyd fighting him.

    Now that would be more likely.

    Martinez had a bad defense last time out? I guess jumbo shrimp is not an oxymoron. If he was sweating out a close decision because of a bad performance, maybe. He knocked the guy out and almost in a brutal fashion. If the rumors are true about Floyd which I believe they are not then why a catch weight? I don't understand why one fighter has to have complete control of all the qualifications for a match that would be in his favor from the start. It isn't fair and the PACMAN is just as guilty. It's like a high class call girl saying no more than six inches or there will be a financial penalty. It's a fight, not car insurance with a deductible we can't afford to have a policy to protect us should we have an accident. Catch weights are deductibles and the win in my opinion by the one that sets it is not a true win but an opportunity to cheat the other guy.

    The reason for the catchweights is the guys concerned mayweather and pac call the shots because whoever they fight it's going to ther big pay day!now mayweather v Martinez at a catchweight wotever it is mayweather wins easily on points. A weight drained 36 or 37 year old means any serious danger Martinez poses is taken away.so a wouldn't b that surprised if the fight happened

    Cotto and mayweather were at top rank at some point and bob arum wanted cotto to have no part of floyd.
    Floyd would beat cotto at any time and you know its true.
    I take it ortiz wasnt a risk either and was he another fighter coming of a loss? Ten years younger and a champion with bag of KOs.๎…
    Floyd cant be that risk averse..ortiz would probably ko martinez
