Could Sergio Martinez Upset Floyd Mayweather Jr ?

[skel1983]

This fight would take place at Jr Middleweight, and Floyd Mayweather Jr certainly isn't no Jr Middleweight. Infact i think he's a natural Jr Welterweight, Sergio Martinez has the size and the speed.

Aswell as the Southpaw stance which will give Floyd Mayweather Jr problems, i've never ever bet against Floyd Mayweather Jr. And im not going to do now, but i can really sense an upset here.

Unless this is for the 160lb belt what is the point?? Am pretty sure the mention of fighting Martinez is due to the fact Mayweather can win another title in another division.

with a LUCKY punch yes, otherwise no. I am saying this without remorse I will not be suprised if Mayweather wins a 6th division title at 160. As much as I dislike the man, he is the man until beaten.

Interesting thread but unfortunately it's never going to happen. Well, it might but not without Floyd making Martinez lose a pretty good amount of weight to make it happen. Floyd makes the rules in this negotiation so I don't see him losing this one. But he won't fight Williams so I don't see him fighting Martinez.

At the moment, I find it very hard to bet against Mayweather for most of the potential fights he could be involved in...

Hard fight, I'd probably favour martinez.

Wouldn't really be an upset...Sergio is a skilled bigger man.

Martinez has the wrong skill set to beat Mayweather.

Floyd is faster than him, even if they fought at 160, Floyd would just come in lighter and use his speed and skill to his advantage.

Martinez is skilled at moving and boxing, but he isn't skilled at hitting and not being hit, similar to Mosley, but not quite as fast. I think Floyd would take a couple of rounds to dial in his right hand, but after than he dominate the fight, and likely be the aggressor.

As much as i hate to agree, I Must.

I can make theoretical arguments for contenders, but he surprises me with every fight.
