Martinez is always calling lighter fighters out.

dunno why martinez keeps begging wifebeater and pac for fights... they will never fight him

Beating up washed up guys like Cotto or Margarito do nothing for him and are a waste of time Fighting the winner of the Cotto vs Margarito will increase Martinez' casual fanbase tremendously. At the moment nobody knows who Martinez is. Going up to super middleweight right now will only insure that he stays unknown. Most fighters before gaining a huge fanbase had to beat another fighter with a huge fanbase first in order to get a fanbase of their own. Beating Cotto will do do that for Martinez. He should probably move up to super middleweight after he gets a big fight at 154, otherwise he'll stay unknown forever since there's no big names for casual fans up there. Like it or not, part of the politics of being recognized #1 p4p is having big names in their resume.

Martinez is always calling lighter fighters out, why doesn't be move up if he's looking for bigger fights?" sergio martinez started at 147 like margo who fought pac in walk weight 165 lbs for his 154 lbs belt but he wasnt big ? :boxing:

Mayweather and Pac are lighter guys. But there's more money. And he'll get more credit should he win. So you should be asking, why would he not call them out? he will get credit for fighting smaller men??? LOL

Martinez is always calling lighter fighters out, why doesn't be move up if he's looking for bigger fights?" Both Mayweather and Martinez can fight at 154 and it would be a fair fight. Pacquiao fought a guy that is a similar size to Martinez at 150. He only wants to fight guys when he has all the advantages. Martinez should not move up because he would be too small if he moves up. Pacquiao, Cotto, and Mayweather are his biggest paydays. Even Canelo down the road would be a big payday for him.

There are plenty of fights out there between 154-160 that can prove Sergio as the best in the sport without him calling out Pacquiao or Mayweather. I know they are the money, and I would be ecstatic if either Pacquiao or Mayweather did agree to fight Martinez, but he shouldn't be calling them out. berto kills bums and got schooled by collazo and collazo was robbed even his dad said he needed a ko to win so i guess collazo the best :boxing:

Martinez is champion of a division that sucks he just moved up to that division, not moving up again guys smaller than him are the money fights understand why he does it, but those guys aren't fighting him Martinez started at 147 like margo who fought pac and walked in at 165 lbs or more but he wasnt too big for that 154 paper belt ?

berto kills bums end of story and collazo whooped him and got robbed guess hes the best then right ?

is that joke thread or what?

martinez started at 147 like margo why do people say hes bigger than tony who walked in that fight with pac at 165 lbs but he wasnt big cotto was called out by sergio but arums protected fighters always get the eaiser fights > mayorga

Because he wants the big paydays. Duh. Mayweather and Pacquiao are the biggest paydays. Much like Hagler wanting to fight Duran, Leonard, and Hearns rather than Spinks or Qawi at 175. Gospel right there!

I know you're a pactard but damn learn something about the sport. This qualifies as one of the dumbest quotes on boxingscene.............really d. pirog? How does that help sergio? Don't be mad because your boy has no prayer in that matchup. Manny's promoter just said manny will probably fight marquez next......so manny fought at 150 for a 154 title while marquez fought at 135, but you have a problem with a former(recent) 154 pound champ who fights at 160 coming back into the jr. middle division.........shocking. Go away already this manny floyd s..t is lame!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pirog would more than challenge him, but it's not like Pirog has established himself either, I'd love to see it though.

I think this is just people finding anything to gripe about. They tend to forget Martinez started at 147. They also forgot how Martinez won his middleweight strap.

Beating someone 2 weight classes lower than you doesn't make you P4P the best fighter in the world. If he wants to move up on the P4P list he should fight Pirog, rematch Pwill and then fight the winner of the Super 6 (Froch or Ward). I know you're a pactard but damn learn something about the sport.

meh... Pac's in a lose-lose situation here. even IF they'd fight at 154, not only is the odds against Pac, but even if he wins, people would simply say that he fought a weight-drained Martinez. Which is why he needs to quit being a bytch and fight the top guys at 147

martinez should stay at middleweight fight pirog or one of those guys mayb sturm who keeps racking up wins with no challenge. unify the division then fight the winner of cotto vs margarito. we as fans can demand that fight but either way i beleive thats what will happen.

meh... Pac's in a lose-lose situation here. even IF they'd fight at 154, not only is the odds against Pac, but even if he wins, people would simply say that he fought a weight-drained Martinez. thats how boxing works, if you lose you were always overrated and a bum. When you win your wins are never truly credited because you fought a bum and the only true boxers are the old generation fighters.

If Martinez was a flat footed slugger who was Champion at that weight, we would see Pacman - Martinez come May 7th. He's too dangerous and that's it. Exactly.........
