I mean the middle weight is just getting hot. All these champs are finally fighting each other. It seems pretty soon we will get clarity of who is the best middle weight is.(martinez already is but there are many fighters who beg to differ) best of all all these guys has stated they want to fight each other. Why would martinez move down where i bet no one will want to fight him.
main reason is for money and I think middle weights usually get their big fights from the popular lighter weight guys, hagler had leonard, hearns and duran, hopkins had trinidad and dela hoya, only difference back then the guys went up to challege the middle weight champion...
Because he believes he has earn his right to have a super fight with canelo, cotto and ultimately Floyd. I doubt he'd go down there to fight a journeyman. He's willing to take the risk of going down for more money. But is it really a risk? remains the question.. at 160 may-martinez is the second biggest fight in the world. at 154 its canelo-floyd. at 147 its may-pac..

is this clear enough??? :nutkick:
Thank you. Watch people on here say he's ducking someone at 160 or 168. Dude is 37 and wants big money fights before he retires
But but i thought martinez fought for the fans and for the glory? I thought he was the peoples champ. Didnt he say he would fight any one yet is ducking all the top middle weights
Why would he? $,$$$,$$$~ the big money guys at 154 bring way more $,$$$,$$$ than the tough guys at 160 do.
It is pretty obvious~

The money will be as good and he's "safer" there!! At 154 he still the bigger man and feels he carrys his power with him. His power as a middleweight is average at best! His chin at middleweight is also average at best!! Fighting the little guys is a safer endeavor with a little less risk!! As you all saw he couldn't run the entire 12 and got caught by a green kid, and was hurt! RayI agree with what you are saying. I think 154 is his true fighting weight. I don't think he will get the 154lb. cash cows in the ring anytime soon but guys like Lara, Trout and Molina will fight him. He will probably make about the same money with them as he would with the best middleweights and they are not as dangerous.
Its seems to me that martinez wants no part of these guys who represents a threat. He feels as if beating paul and pavlik he deserves the big money fights or easier fights for million dollar paydays.
yall know dam well dawson called ward out at 168 so cut the crap son
You belittle the guy for moving BACK down but did you praise him for moving up FROM 154?
How would a guy who started at 147 and fought most of his career at 154 be too big for 154 pound guys? Wouldn't he actually be the one disadvantaged by trying to make the weight in the first place?
No worse than Ward draining LHW's to fight at SMW though right? :lol1:
That doesn't count though for certain reasons I can't explain because I don't know them
hes scared of ward and lookin for the money route , this full blown middleweight wants to pick on welterweights lmao!

Martinez is chasing the money at 154...
Money, freaking duh. I bet he'll target ginger too
And he will never get ginger or cotto or mayweather. He wont get any notable fight. He should fight ggg or pirog or geele all champs who want to fight him yet he seems reluctant
