I would add Paul Williams in to that mix too. I think he would be a very very awkward style matchup for Manny. It shouldn't happen though with Williams coming off a KO loss. That is too much risk for not enough reward.
Manny does not have the one punch power that Martinez has and isn't Ko'ing Willimas with one shot. And I think Williams was looking good against Martinez until he got caught, I think I had him ahead in the fight although obviously it was very early days.
But Floyd, Martinez and Williams are tough tough fights. I'm not sure I'd pick Manny over any of them, I think they are almost 50/50 fights or 55/45 in favour of the other guys.
I would actually love to see him face Bradley or Berto too. Both young, unbeaten world champs, they could happen at 147 with no catchweight necessary and the objection that he only fights old faded fighters would be wiped out.
Marquez for me is the least appealing prospect simply because we have already seen it twice before. I like to see something new.
And Marquez should concentrate on cleaning up at 135 and then maybe 140 imo. He has plenty to do down there and guys like Alexander, Ortiz, Khan etc are all great matchups for him.
