Part of me pretty much does not care. As much as I enjoy his technical gifts from offense to defense the guy has almost taken half his career off and has in so doing shit on what boxing legacy's rich history is all about. Imo he's a toxic sell out and shares a certain amount of blame as to why others in this era are coddled and pimped. As a fan of the sport I almost feel robbed or violated by the guy for not at the very least just fighting twice a year.

As far as Martinez he's scheduled to meet Murray in Argentina although I doubt he will be ready by then as he has not even had surgery yet. I just don't see Floyd accepting a catch weight fight. Martinez is not a big middleweight and Floyd's ego is to big. Plus he might have to pass Leonard in a hallway one day.

Trout and Cotto are fighting for the regular wba title and Floyd owns the emeritus version giving him the right to challenge for the regular title so that could be in play here. That is, only if Cotto wins. I don't believe he will as much as I want him to. Floyd needs a fight before then though. I mean Cotto could be off for 8 months more should he beat Trout.

Slim pickings.
