Hmm I think we can agree that Martinez is the harder puncher of the two and if mayweather comes forward it would favour Martinez's style. However knowing how smart Mayweather is, why would he give that advantage to Martinez?
As far as how the fight would play out, I would believe it would be akin to Martinez vs Macklin. Both staying in the middle of the ring trying to get their lead foot outside of their opponent and trying to pop shot. Both boxers are accurate and I have to admit Martinez has a mean proper right handed jab which he can counter Mayweather's lead right with. If there's a 'flaw' with a Philly shell style, I would say that your jab can't be as quick or as snappy coming from the hip, although it would come from an awkward angle.
This one is a tough one and I'll say why I believe that to be the case. Martinez has shown that he can adapt in the ring to change his style, his game-plan depending on the situation. This of course is one Mayweather's greater attributes, that being the case and hands speed being equal (perhaps a small edge to mayweather since he has shorter arms, I think it would come down to a good bigger boxer beating a smaller good boxer.
