    I know this question has been asked a million times but I feel like now that Pac is out of the question, who is the one to dethrone Money May? I'd say Sergio Martinez or Canelo Alvarez. Canelo Alvarez seems like the fight to make from a financial standpoint especially if the target date is Cinco De Mayo weekend.

    You mean Broner? And if that's who you mean, then I disagree

    I could see Mayweather fighting Alvarez but not Martinez. To answer your question I think Martinez could beat Mayweather.

    Every time I read or hear about Martinez I think of Paul Williams -- I can't believe that dude is paralyzed.

    Yeah Martinez's name isn't big enough but he can beat Mayweather in my opinion. It's high risk low reward for him. But he would make CRAZY money if he fought Canelo. I say Canelo pulls an upset but hey we can only hope.

    Floyd beats Canelo. He is there to be hit all day, and Floyd is one of the most accurate punchers. It would be interesting to see if Canelo keeps up his work rate.

    I think he walks straight through Floyds punches and then he lands big shots. Canelo doesn't waste punches.

    Idk he's slowed down and we know he's not a power puncher. He's just so slick. Canelo would walk him down and land heavy shots.

    But even if he did lose, he's 22 years old and he lost to the best of our generation.

    Its either the IRS or the Law. I don't see a boxer beating him. Looking forward to his next fight though.

    Not if he ducks any fighter who has a chance against him. Canelo will just get hit a bunch. I think martinez could win since he has skills and a plan.
