If Floyd avoids Martinez and fights Canelo.....

[Bushbaby]

Are his fans going to be satisfied with that. Or are ya'll finally gonna pull his pass card & demand that he man up & fight the legacy fight??

voted unacceptable

1st Mayweather fight I would not pay to watch

even by 2013 saul alvarez still won't have done enough **** to be a justified opponent for Mayweather. He brings nothing to the table but a big fanbase of lovesick Mexicans that will support him with no respect to logic.

Floyd and Martinez aren't even in the same weight class yet. It be no duck

Boxing is a business first then a sport second. You must realise this. Seriously. Why would anybody move up two weight classes to fight a guy who brings very little to the table in terms of marketability who is much bigger than you, instead of fighting a guy just one weight class above you who brings a lot more to the table and is a much easier fight? That would just be ******. Floyd has proven himself over and over again. He has no reason to fight Sergio Martinez. His legacy is already secure and with or without Pacquiao and Martinez he is still going to go down as by far the greatest boxer of this era and one of the greatest in the history of the sport. He could fight Victor Ortiz again and he would still probably make more money than fighting Martinez because of Ortiz's Mexican fanbase.

Floyd is absolutley right when he says that he can't win with his critics and haters. Whoever he beats, there is always an excuse, and after he beats them there is always someone else around the corner who they claim he is "ducking". People need to accept the reality that he is entitled to fight whoever he wants and as boxing fans we should all appreciate that he always fights top competition, when they are on top of their game, on an even playing field. Which is a lot more than we can say for Manny "Stipulation-Man" Pacquiao.

But he's fighting Cotto at 154, that means he can fight Martinez at the same weight, so you can stop making excuses now.

Why is it necessary for him to fight Martinez now?

As long as he fights him at 154 before retiring I'm cool with it.

You mean next?? I don't know, maybe because they're both in their higher halfs of the 30's??

[GrandpaBernard]

How would Floyd be ducking Martinez if Mart is still at 160? Floyd is not big for a welter and tiny for a super welter.
