Floyds a small welterweight.
Martinez is not a big middle even though I believe he's been over 170 on some fight nights and I don't think Floyd is a small welter but a natural one. That is to say he's awfully close to his walk around weight on fight night. Martinez probably walks around at a buck 85. Floyd is not obligated to pack it on against Martinez or Canelo. It is they that would have to shed and Floyd could just weigh in at his best fighting weight. I actually believe that for Floyd against either one his smaller size is his advantage.

My money is on Guerrero also and Floyd has stated publicly that his next fight is 147. Marquez will probably take 8 moths off and I don't think Arum sacrifices Timmy.

I think if Floyd was going to the jump it would be against Martinez and the more prestigious 160 title.
Alvarez and Martinez are essentially the same size as Alvarez is a pretty massive jr mid. I agree though that the chances are probably slim to none that he fights either in the future but the old school in me is dieing to see him take a crack at the mid title.
