cotto and pac are near retirement themselves, but martinez wants to fight them. wouldn't' that make martinez a guy who fights guys near retirement? answer: yes.
martinez himself is already talking about retirement. So even if cotto and pac fight martinez, they'd be fighting someone who is near retirement.
On a side note, this is obviously a lame attempt at picking a fight with cotto and pac. I believe cotto already gave sergio his terms in order for the fight between them to happen.
The only reason why team sergio would put this out there is to promote the fight with dzinziruk. that's pretty weak, when you have to use other boxer's names to promote your own fight.
Martinez and Paul Williams fight sold 5,045 JMM and. K.
Sold about 4000 something.and khan and madiana was 5,000 some thing.
Fight are not selling,Their double talk about Bradley fight,some saying a few hundred and they saying so far 3,00O was sold. Martinez knows Esther PAC or Floyd is the money draw.I think his manager want more money.

People will nit pick anything just to not go down Serg street.....
dummy, all 3 of them are talking retirement already.
last i heard arum said manny was fighting 6 more time....you are beyond retarded man and this thread proves it...
martinez is older than cotto and manny..by bout 3-4 years..pull damn you're a damn retard
mosley..nor mayorga(a meaningful) has won a fight in years
Yeah he is older but in boxing older and shot are not always tied together. Look at Hopkins and Vargas as examples.
Can't blame the guy. He is simply trying to ride the wave a bit longer and take advantage of his position. Now, like I mentioned on another thread, he should forget about PAC 'cause that ain't happening. Now Cotto is VERY visible, think about it, Cotto comes out of Margo with a great victory and Sergio can offer him the 160 belt(at a catch-weight if necessary) and give both a good pay-day, gives cotto the opportunity of a fourth weight class and gives the fans a fight they would want to see. Cotto-Sergio sounds very real but PAC-Sergio isn't happening...
I think sergio knows he ain't getting cotto anytime soon. after mayorga is margarito.
then based on cotto's performance his career could go several ways. if cotto struggles against mayorga and margarito, then I see a rematch with mosley next. If cotto destroys mayorga and margarito, I see a rematch with pac, or a fight with wifebeater jr on the horizon.
martinez won't get his shot at cotto any time soon. martinez however, could fight mayorga after cotto to raise his own profile, but he'd have to do it on showtime or an independent PPV cause HBO won't buy it. dosesn't it suck to have a booking agent as a promoeter?
Its not hypocritical at all because they're all still relatively prime.
You don't like it because it proves Pac's a bitch who only fights Arum stiffs at catchweights.
answer your quote with another quote
it really is hypocritical....."pac fights dead men, i want cotto"- sergio...
He makes a valid point about Pac's and Cotto's recent opponent choices but he also leaves out that both Pac and Cotto have overall better opponents then does Martinez.
good point.
we don't know if dzinziruk is better than mosley or mayorga. that's why sergio's trainer has to hate on pac and cotto to get some publicity.

Cotto and Pac are further from the finish line of their careers and closer to their primes than Mosley and Mayorga are.
doesn't matter. both have put in way more mileage than sergio and are near retirement. cotto is nearly there. he's over the hill and coming to the final straight away. pac has peaked and will retire soon.
excellent point, Pull
it's simply an attempt to get a fight against either Cotto and PAC or both...
i dont blame Team Martinez for cashing since Sergio himself is looking at retirement
I don't blame sergio cause this hasn't come from sergio's mouth, but his trainer is shoving his own foot in his mouth with these remarks. I do believe sergio deserves to cash out, but I think there is a better way of going about it.
Alot of people are flaming saying both are ducking Martinez, but I don't see how.
Given both Cotto and Manny's resume, and the type of fighters they are, they could very well end up fighting Martinez.
People act like we are dealing with Mayweather or something....
