Neither Pac or Martinez will beat Floyd if the fight takes place this year. PBF is 35 and needs the Pac fight in 2012 not next year. Pacman is looking battle weary and it will be very interesting to see how he comes up against Bradley. Floyd has 1 maybe 2 fights left in him, but he sure knows how to beat these predictable fighters, Cotto fought well, but Floyd was never really in jeopardy throughout the fight. Pacman is unpredictable so that might cause him some concern, but Floyd is so good defensively i just can't see Pacman hitting the target enough to win.
Martinez is not in the same class and at 154 loses a wide UD to Floyd.
I think Martinez gets destroyed. He hangs back too much giving Floyd plenty of chance to pick him off. However if he lands with one of his super punches who knows. I think Pac has a better chance as he is a pressure fighter and would be on top of Floyd all night. Floyd does not like pressure.
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?
