    i think floyd should fight martinez next at 160. floyd should come in at 146 and would dominate martinez and win by late ko. easy fight for floyd. retirement money for martinez. win win situation.

    Its not the biggest and brightest but its a safe bet he will fight the winner of Ishite Smith v Carlos Molina within 5. These are ones you keep tucked in your sleeve...all others mentioned have clauses and things in the works

    For his projected time frame they cannot all be barn burners but he'll pick up a trinket from either and coin none the less. We're talking five fights for Floyd...thats 1,3 years

    You crazy if he could not stop Guerrero he will not stop Sergio.

    Martinez is old and shot. He resembles an aged RJJ. He's lost his speed, reflexes, timing, balance... He's pretty much custom made for Floyd now. Floyd would shred him.

    Floyd would not beat Murray never mind Sergio, they are too big.

    Murray beat Martinez in my opinion and Floyd would pick Martinez to pieces. He lunges and swings wildly and would get counterpunched to death by Floyd. Easy work. I hope they fight so you get to see him destroyed.

    Floyd should stay away from 154 and if he beats martinez they would say hes old and past it.

    Just stay at 147 and let everyone come to you. If canelo really wants it he is young enough and will be making his biggest payday he should fight at welter for his next fight and get used to the weight and fight floyd may 4th 2014..if not, give trout a rematch and fight martinez or chavez or is the latter to big for him now.

    He should fight Martinez at 154 next Cinco De Mayo. That would be an easy night's work for Floyd. Fights after that will take care of themselves, somebody will make themselves a viable opponent over the next year and a bit. The big question is who does he fight in September? I think he could beat Alvarez fairly easily, even a 171 pound Alvarez, although I'd make him drain a little. Floyd showed on Saturday night he still has his legs and I think he's got far too much for Alvarez's size to overcome.

    Yes stay at 147 and continue to fight light hitting blown up light weights.

    Bradley - Mosquito Mitts
    Pac - Damaged goods
    JMM - AARP
    Khan - Fine China chin, terrible defense

    Canelo only threat and still a little too raw. PGayF's resume of fighting singles hitters is a complete joke. Deserves Hall of fame but by no means ATG. " All Time Greatest Cherry Picker".

    I would like to see him fight an equally athletic fighter like Devon Alexander or Trout.

    The problem is now that Martinez is on HBO and Mayweather is on Showtime so we'll never get to see it, which is unfortunate because when Mayweather was on HBO, Martinez wanted the fight.

    Other better options than Khan/Alexander/Garcia are Trout/Lara/Canelo.

    Absolutely, or Canelo at 154. @ruthless rocco They are both legacy-improving fights too, whereas taking on the Guerrero's/Garcia's/Alexander's of the world don't do anything for his legacy. Isn't it odd that he won't even answer questions about facing Martinez? He won't even consider it as an option even when Martinez has been calling him out for years.

    Here's the point. No one will blame Floyd for not going up in weight. You can't blame a guy for refusing to move up in weight if he can make his weight class safely. I wouldn't blame Sergio for not going up to fight Ward. Bottom line.

    However, if Sergio wanted to improve his legacy, wins over super middleweights, even average ones, are better than wins over average middleweights.

    The reason why Sergio-Ward doesn't come up as often is because Sergio isn't the premiere, top-ranked fighter in the entire world. He's just a good middleweight. The expectations are much lower for him than for Floyd and rightly so.

    Also, Martinez would be a heavy underdog to Ward at 168, whereas Floyd would be the favorite against Martinez or Canelo at 154. So, it's not like Floyd would be jumping up to fight a guy where he would be the underdog. This is a fight he would be supposed to win, but it is riskier than fights against junior welterweights; there is no doubt about that.

    There are multiple posters saying that Floyd would wipe the floor with Sergio Martinez. You can't argue that at the same time as saying he shouldn't face him? For example, no one is claiming at the same time that Sergio shouldn't face Ward but that he also would beat him.
    @ruthless rocco hates Sergio Martinez, but even he would prefer to see Floyd beat Sergio Martinez up than see Floyd face Amir Khan or Danny Garcia. I mean come on, it's not even a question.

    Floyd fighting outside of his weight class or comfort zone would help immeasurably with his legacy. He doesn't have to do jack but he would be doing himself a big favour.
