Tell your prima donna Floyd to fight Sergio before Sergio is 50 and i will start to think Floyda is a man.

Outside of Sergio, who is already fighting April, 2013, who is Floyd supposedly ducking? What fighter is a better match up for Floyd not named Saul "Canelo" Alvarez or Sergio Martinez?

Sergio won't be 100% at 154 and if Floyd won the excuses would be flying.

I know he wouldn't be 100% and likely be drained at this point, but if they do fight it'd be at 154. IMO Sergio is the only guy out there that can take Floyd. Unfortunately, Floyd could move up in weight and fight Andre Ward or Wlad Klitschko and fight their weights and the fights would still be called cherry picks by many.

It's not nonsense. The fight with Sergio might happen, it basically depends on if Sergio is still willing to drain himself down to 154 or not. If he is, the Floyd fight will happen. If he isn't, then it obviously won't happen. Simple as that.

Regarding my "nonsense" the examples were extreme on purpose, but they're also nearly true. Mayweather is likely about to fight one of the top 3 universally recognized top 154lbers after he has had a 1 year layoff, only 2 previous fights at 154, and will be 36 years old.

He's fighting a person who is clearly coming into their prime and has looked impressive in their last few fights.

Apparently that's a cherry pick. Who, aside from Sergio, who again already has an oponent he's facing this April, is not a cherry pick?

I dont believe this zhit, negotiations are going way too smoothly according to Canelo, unless he's willing to settle for a cut of the concession stands???call me when Floyds signature is dry on the contract..... other wise this is a bunch of baloney being swallowed by a bunch of guys desperate for another Floyd fight..

Floyd negotiations usually go smoothly when a certain promoterwho is in his 80s, who shall not be named, is not involved.

There may be some truth to that and also cause that certain somebody refuses to allow little Primadonna to call all the shots, Golden boy is Floyd's bbitch and you now it, they're just happy to be involved and will do what ever he saids....

Absolutely Golden Boy is, they know that if Floyd really wants to, he can go and make just as much money on his own, which is something Pac should've done years ago.

Pac is held hostage by his promoter, just like Floyd has Golden Boy by the balls.

If both were on their own, the fight would've happened in 2010 like it should have.

Now we have Mayweather-Canelo likely for May, 2013. Possibly September, but that doesn't make as much sense. At worst, we'll see Floyd in the ring against Guerro or Trout, most likely Guerro. Both have earned fights with Floyd, even though neither are the standard big names.

Floyd would never go on his own, what? do you actually think his company Mayweather Promotions or the money team or what ever actually do anything but be fronts for tax purposes ? Floyd may know a lot about boxing but that doesnt mean he would actually put in the time that it needs to actually help promote a fight, I think the extend of his business abilities are limited to him placing endless gambling bets, a guy with Floyd's ego only delegates, he needs other people doing the work for him, why didn't he use his own money to keep Gamboa and the other guy super middle weight what's his name, got ko by the German ? instead he just blew them off as he did his best friend cause he actually never wanted to be bothered IN THE FIRST PLACE, GAMBOA is pretty pissed off with that attitude, I bet Floyd painted and promised him the world, and then kick that poor midget, Cuban rafter to the curv...lmassoffs..
