Mayweather - Martinez ?

[p4pking]

Sergio has wanted it for three years. It's not happening. Mayweather himself has said it.

Is that right? If Martinez would be foolish enough to meet him a few pounds below 160 I can't see why Floyd wouldn't be tempted myself. He really will have trouble securing a PPV attraction without going right to middleweight in the case.

Why would it be foolish for him to go a few pounds under 160? He usually weighs in under 160 for his fights, I believe he was 158 for the Barker fight. I can't see him struggling to make 154.

I think it would be a good fight, even with Martinez a bit past it. He is still very fast and his style could be difficult for Floyd and hell have to press the action too

The only problem with that fight for Floyd I could see is Martinez refusing random testng

It can get a lot harder for older fights to keep shedding weight, and apparently Martinez has said he wouldn't fight below 160 so that may indicate as much, could be wrong though. I reckon Martinez may be more than a little bit past it, and shouldn't give up his only real advantage. Otherwise he needs to fight someone before Floyd to see where he's at and gauge all of that, hopefully build the fight etc. I think it would be really dumb for him to come off a long layoff, knee surgeries and a bad performance and then combine it with dropping 5 extra lbs.
