Sergio Martinez : "I want the Margarito fight badly, I will beat him by KO"

Here are some parts of an interview I read earlier... On his fight with Paul Williams - "Sincerely, I believe I didn’t win that fight. I had the sensation that I should have done more to win, and I didn’t. But I appreciate the great work by my advisor to get me the shot, and now justice has been done. It would be very interesting if you asked the same question to Paul Williams and see if he answers it sincerely. Maybe he feels the same way. That night both of us received a lot of punishment. Both of feel like we lost something in the ring, but we still gained something too." On Antonio Margarito - "I need that fight and I need it badly. I need to try again and win the fight. Today, it would be an excellent event, a great fight. I have no doubt that I will beat him by KO! Today will be a big difference from what is was in 2000. Back then, he was much more superior than me. He was a better boxer, more complete. Justice was done in 2000." On possible fights with Felix Sturm or Sebastian Sylvester - "They are doing a great job in Europe, but nobody knows them in the United States. It’s unfortunate that they can’t really come here to the U.S. and demonstrate that they are worthy world champions. That way I could confront them. It is my dream to be the champion of every organization" On which weight class he will be fighting at in the future - "I’m still thinking about it definitely. I’ll take a few more days too see what real options come my way." On possible megafights with Floyd Mayweather Jr, Manny Pacquiao or Miguel Cotto at Super Welterweight or Middleweight - "They are all great champions. However, I’m waiting for them to say, “Yes.” Somebody needs to step up to the plate." On being stripped of the WBO Middleweight title - "It was an honor to be WBO champion and I feel very bad not to have it because I earned it in the ring. I will wait for more opportunities and I can win it again." On whether or not he will fight again in 2010 - "Yes, definitely!"

This time around Sergio would tear Margo apart tbh with you. I'd pick Martinez to win Via T.K.O in the 8 Rd Why would you say that? You do realize that Martinez has not changed his style much at all since being KO'ed by Margo...Right?

how many times has this *** promise a KO and doesnt get it infact he ends up getting knock down in hsi fights for bad balance.WHAT NOW HE ADMITS HE DIDNT WON THE WILLIAMS FIGHT THATS WHY HE DONT WANT ANY PART OF THE PUNISHER Really u think he wants no part of williams. He was very competative with him could have won and 2 williams was one of the nine names he submitted to hbo that he wants to fight. Also hbo is pushing hard for it so u fail. Sergio this time will beat the no defense paul williams. I hope he gets a fight with williams or margarito cause sergio will tax both their asses.

Man that would suck for boxing fans..... It would mean no Mayweather-Pacquiao fight too :frown: Yeah but if Pac won the MW title, it would be incredibly historic.. THen Floyd can move and fight Pac for the MW title. Fairytales :nonono:

What if Margarito fought him at MW and took Martinez' title... THen Pac beats Cotto at 154, and Pac beats Margo at 160... That's a stretch but that would unbelievable.. Wouldn't happen... but... Man that would suck for boxing fans..... It would mean no Mayweather-Pacquiao fight too :frown:

I just think he needs to get in the ring with someone and be as active as possible, hes only getting older. Yes I agree, But I sympathise with Sergio because he's in such a great position. He could get a fight with Mayweather, Cotto, Margarito or a rematch with Williams. All of them would be huge fights for him, I know he would love to fight Mayweather. So I think he might be waiting to see what happens in the Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiations. Hopefully the WBC dont strip him of one of his titles. To me this guy is the best Middleweight right now, Felix Sturm is my man but his inactivity has hurt his credibility alot. He will come back though
