"those are not hard fights. and the same thing with mayweather"
of course floyd last two fights were against the #3p4p and #2p4p and now he's fighting the #2WW, who is fighting pac @144?
This is the same guy who tried to fight Andy Lee.
FWIW....Floyd vs Nate Campbell or Paulie Malignaggi would be more legit than that sh1t and this dude has the nerves to call people out for opponent selection?
I mean dude spends an entire career fighting tango dancers and fruit vendors down in Argentenia, fights 3 decent names and now he is suppose to be on some sh1t.........fvkk outta here Maravagina
you forgot to mention his time fighting in Spain, dude has fought in three continents and been fighting in USA for last five years, a lot more than most, he aint a ***** like some americans or canadians who scared to fight outside there country, he fought margarito when ppl like floyd was scared of marga
Ray I respect your point but niether Floyd, Manny or Martinez are at the "challenge" phase of their careers. They are at the "money" stage. Martinez is even worse off because he is obstensibly a "bside" fighter even though he is the MW champ of the world.
For both Mayweather and Paq fighting Martinez is a challenge for them, because they would be facing a fighter who is not only bigger than them but also skilled and on a good run of wins at the moment...You can alway be challenged at any stage in boxing.
TEAM MARTINEZ: "FLOYD Can Make More Money With Us. We Don't Want 50%"
SAMPSON LEWKOWICZ: "MAYWEATHER WOULD MAKE MORE MONEY TO FIGHT MARTINEZ THAN PACQUIAO"
By Mike Juhas | August 23, 2011
When are these guys going to give up calling out Floyd? They know it's a royal waste of time. Floyd hasn't even said anything about these Martinez' calls. Not a effing thing. Mark my word, Floyd would rather fight a midget than a guy with a huge height advantage.
What's strange is no one even dares to ask Floyd about Martinez, not anyone from fighthype. The one and only last response made from the queen was about a million years ago.
;-)
In Sergio's last fight against Dzinziruk looked like he knew the clock was winding down. I think he's mid-to-late 30's and his style is running on overtime. I agree that he's top 3 P-4-P, but he's got maybe two years tops of him being "The Guy."
Pacquiao won't happen, and I doubt Floyd would do it - although he could time Sergio by the second. I don't know why Martinez-Ward wouldn't steal the show in 2012.
Ward is just much too big for him, I believe.

This is true right here ^^
This is why Martinez made a stupid mistake for staying with his promoter. He could've been something if he was with GBP or Top Rank.
Martinez beating PWill that way was the worst possible thing for him. Yeah it sounds crazy but think about it?
Martinez will get his big money fight. Maybe against Floyd, definitely not Pacquiao. But if he keeps winning, the right opponent will pop up at some point toward the end of next year.
Martinez is a victim of the business of boxing. He is the best fgihter from 154-168 on the planet. The guys whio draw more than him are too green or too drunk or their promoter is too scared to fight him. The guys at 168 have something going on for the next year. The guys at 147 have something going on.
I mean other than PWIll 3 what is there out there for him?

We dont have a lot of bright posters on Boxingscene, Again if Mayweather and Paq can fight at 154 then nothing wrong in them challenging themselves and offering Martinez a fight at that weight, I for one would rather see Paq,Mayweather Vs Martinez than Martinez-Pirog.

WHO at 160?
Chavezito won't fight him. Sturm won't fight him. He would make Abraham look ridiculous. He had offered Pavlik a rematch.
I'm Team Sergio.

Sergio should just clean out 160

People bringing up the weight difference are a joke. Martinez can meet them both at 154, where both fighters have fought (well Pacquiao didn't really, but he could surely fight him at 154 if he smashed Margarito). Hagler fought Leonard and Hearns, Hopkins fought De La Hoya and Trinidad, it happens sometimes good smaller fighter move up to fight a good bigger fighter.
Why the hate on Sergio??? He can possibly beat anyone from 147 to 168 including pac and maywether and people are pissed?? He gave us some good fights esp. In the pass 2 years and he wants to get a big money fight wit two of the best fighters on the planet. Plus he told mayweather he don't even want 50 percent of the money(even tho he wouldn't get it anyway). Dude is a beast!!! And his fights have been the most exciting fights in the past two years. Imo right now if they fought today he would beat pac and go 12 wit floyd and win
Because people are using four fights against decent to good competition, one of which he lost, to overrate Sergio as some boxing messiah who represents everything right with the sport. It's out of freaking hand, it's every bit as bad as the people saying Pacquiao and Mayweather are the best fighters ever.
Martinez is really good, a top 4 p4p fighter. That's all.

I know there is no way in hell he possibly clean out 168.
Ward and dirrell would put a schooling on his ass and froch would knock him out. There is a big reason why Martinez is scared to move up to 168 and rather call out Mayweather, Cotto, Pacquaio, Alverez, and Chavez jr.
Martinez is just living off Paul Williams and shot and unmotivated kelly pavlik. and scared to move up in his 4th weight class. but yet he is got the nerve to question pacquaio and floyd resume even though even floyd resume **** on Martinez whole career.
most overrated boxer in the game.
he beat an amateurish punching bag Paul Williams now he thinks he's Ali talking all these sh!t
he can't even beat margarito
I hope he gets ktfo by Darren Barker ,whoever the f$ck he is.
