Martinez reveals next fight in Argentina against a top 5 opponent no matter what

Take Daniel Geale's belts then go after Qullins Belt and become the Middleweight king..

I'm sure it'll be exciting regardless of whom Sergio chooses to fight. War Maravilla! You think that band-aid on the shoulder of Justin Tuck in your sig is for a steroid injection?

It must be Murray... credible, but easy opponent...

No way he fights GGG at home, he doesnt want his big fight there being a Loss :lol1:

The only semi-relevant opponent (excluding Mack) in the WBC rankings is Martin Murray, don't know if he'd be able to travel though. The only guys we'd know wouldn't hesitate to travel are Geale/Golovkin.

Ran into this interview. He specifies he wants to defend his title, so middleweight it is. http://deportes.terra.com.ar/maravilla-martinez-el-pais-esta-mejor-que-cuando-me-fui-en-el-2001,5f612d9d4398a310VgnCLD2000000ec6eb0aRCRD.html last week Macklin and Martinez made a deal to promote fights between boxers from Spain and Britain i believe, so probably they make a rematch, because no top MW would come to Argentina to be outboxed by Sergio infront of 60000 local people.

i hope it's golovkin...that fight would be nuts.

No, I still have a lot of dreams to reach. I have won several world belts, several world championships. My dream today is to have an important title defense somewhere in Buenos Aires with a first-rate fighter and fill out a stadium with 60 thousand people or more if possible. What's the idea then? It's to fight next year with a rival that's within the first five places in the rankings.

Sergio could pack out Boca or River Plates football ground with a huge attendance. Just remains to be seen whether the revenue would be enough without the casinos in the US to entice a top middleweight over.

It'll be Geale or Pirog.

Who are WBC top 5 contenders at 160?

If its in Argentina its not going to be Floyd or Alvarez or Cotto. I hope its Pirog or Golovkin. Keep cleaning middleweight out, its the best thing he could do.

Billi Facundo Godoy is the #1 rated under the WBC and is from Argentina...... it's going to happen.... maybe. He just lost his first fight in a 8 rounder against....some dude WBC ratings are out of date so I doubt he's #1 anymore. If Sergio wants HBO money, I think the opponent is going to have to be decent.

That's sweet! hopefully HBO picks it up :boxing:

Hope its not another sh1t opponent.

Guess he's not fighting peter.... that dude won't leave the U.S

Chavez II in Argentina.......$$$$$

Yeah, but there's no way Canelo, Cotto, and Mayweather are going to Argentina. I'm sure they could fill up a soccer stadium, but the money still wouldn't be close to Vegas money. In the past, Martinez said HBO would back him if he chose to fight in Argentina, so they wouldn't have to rely solely on Argentinian TV money. There should be enough for a decent opponent. no doubt an event of that magnitude like floyd could fill the monumental estadio de river plate, luna park or la bombonera, the three main venues, but floyd is not going, HBO can lure a guy like angulo or kirkland, kirkland would be better coz most argies i know are kinda racist...
