yeah, Floyd, the ball's ON your court now

looks like the foots on the other hand now!

 

Floyd won't take it.

 

Floyd needs to recover first from the devastating emotional blow of the breakup (see Anthony's thread).

 

Make it happen already. Floyd has run out of credible opponents not named Pacquiao to fight. Sergio wants the fight, make it at 154 and be done with it.

 

martinez would beat the shit out of mayweather jr.

 

I take my hand off to Martinez.

 

Floyd would dominate him and make him fade off into bolivian

 

Yup

A bird on the head is worth a stitch in time, I always say

 

As is famously said "Beggars can't be choosing things that come in small packages"

 

Panocha piss butchered a cliche. Big deal, no need for you jerks to make mountains into molehills

 

Word. Remember that English is a foreign language to me. My english is no better than Dino the Laurentis: "For you John (Guillermin, director of King Kong) me build fifty foot big gorilla!"

I think its a great fight for both fighters and for fans, but I still got Mayweather winning this one in a tough one. There's no legitimate reason why Floyd shouldn't be all over this fight if he's not going to fight Pacquiao.

 

Are you being sarcastic?

 

No, I meant exactly what I said, this is the biggest fight out there for Mayweather other than Pacquiao.

 

I'd like to see it but I think we all know its a TOTAL mismatch

What's funny about Floyd jr is that anyone he could fight is a total mismatch including paquaio

 

You haven't been around for a while so we'll give you a break

The key words were Floyd needing "legitimate reasons".

 

Wrong.

Most people would make Floyd a favorite but a long way from a 'mismatch'

 

Well in a technical sense, your sentence is fine. There's no LEGIMITATE reason.

But this is Floyd we're talking about. If he's scared shitless of a 5'5 Filipino with a belt and trousers pulled up really high, you really think he'd even contemplate getting in the ring with a good middleweight, who can punch?

 

whiskey, what do you think the odds would be if by some incredible chance, Floyd did actually fight Martinez?

 

I hate the idea of any Martinez fight below 160. If you're going to fight, fight him for the title at middleweight. Otherwise it's shit.

 

Panchy just put his foot over his mouth.

 

:: :: :laughing:

 

Floyd would still be favored. I don't know how much weight Matinez can cut. You gurantee Mayweather will make weight part of the stipulations. Of course it doesn't really matter, fight aint happening.

 

:l2:

 

Jeez, if Floyd won't fight Pac............there's no way in hell he fights the more dangerous Martinez, for what would be less money.

Funny thing is, I think Martinez would be so desperate for this payday at his age, he'd probably agree to a 90-10 split to make Floyd happy. Still won't happen though.

 

Martinez is a big guy though :scratcher: dunno if Floyd can be criticised for 'ducking' him

 

I don't know if I would criticize Floyd for not taking the fight, but shit, he's proven no one else at 147 or 154 can be competitive so if he wants to keep making big money fights, he's going to have to challenge himself. Sergio has great momentum and marketability at the moment, if he's not going to fight Pac, his next biggest pay day is Sergio right now.
