Originally posted by Camp Beast View PostDiaz was a dangerous fight at that time! I already explained why earlier. As far as Mayweather's choices of Ortiz (came off impressive win but just before that he looked bad against Maidana & Peterson), Cotto (beat Margarito but hadn't looked good before that since before Marg I), and Guerrero (tough fighter but he's a lightweight w/ little name value). My point is that Mayweather should have fought Pacquiao but instead chose to take the easier fights in Ortiz & Cotto. Now he should be fighting Martinez but instead opts for Guerrero or Alexander. You don't think that's cherry picking?
I don't see how Floyd SHOULD 100% have to fight Sergio. Martinez is the Middleweight champ and isn't fighting his own biggest threats at 160. He hasn't been to 154 in 4 years (8 fights now counting Murray). Sergio should stop calling out smaller fighters and fight Golovkin/Geale/Pirog/Quillin. There's no way a Welterweight, who originally started at 130, should absolutely 100% have to fight the Middleweight champ. I'm sorry....
And you can't call Diaz a dangerous fight, than say Ortiz/Cotto/Guerrero are cherry picks. Diaz was coming off losing to Campbell, getting a SD win over Katsidis, getting a terrible decision win against Paulie, and than losing to Paulie again. So how was he a good fight again??? It wasn't bad, but not some huge risk that was taken.Last edited by 4Corners; 02-15-2013, 07:36 PM.

He fought Oscar at 154 lbs, when Oscar had every single advantage in the book that night. He fought Top 10 P4P and undefeated Hatton. He fought #2 P4P Marquez, which was crap at the time, but how does that look now??? He fought #3 P4P Mosley, coming off beating Margarito.
On top of those wins, he's compiled a list of other good wins too. Gatti, Judah, Baldomir, Ortiz, and Cotto as well.Last edited by GodInFleshSuit; 02-15-2013, 07:52 PM.

Juan had no answers for Floyd the first time around, he'd get beat again! I think Robert gets the fight with Floyd and if he can handle decent 147 power (that Berto doesn't have) then he'll give Floyd a very good fight. If he can't stand in with Mayweather than he's going to get busted up. One respect he's eay for Floyd because he'll be right there, the tuff part is he'll be right there also hahaha!!!!

Martinez has been calling out Mayweather for a couple years now. Let's not forget that Martinez is a natural 154 fighter (the division Floyd holds a title). Martinez has always said he's meet Floyd at 154 or lower. As far as Sergio not fighting Golovkin, Quillen, Pirog, etc....those guys have little name value. All risk/no reward. He just beat JCC after basically corning the kid into finally fighting him. Martinez is the biggest fight Floyd could make right now and like I said, he doesn't dare mention him.
Diaz was the man at 135 before the Campbell loss. I'll give you the Malignaggi robbery but besides that, the kid was a former P4P fighter, young, and that made him dangerous! All risk/little reward.
