After all this talk about fighting as low as 150 and being able to make 154..why say he will only fight Canelo at 160??is this a duck?? THOUGHT HE COULD MAKE 154 WITH NO PROBLEM
of course not. you cant duck a fighter that isnt in your weightclass. by staying where youre at you are never ducking someone at another weight.
ppl have gotten way out of hand with all this ducking talk. regardless of what a fighter does hes ducking half a dozen ppl at all times these days while being ducked by another half a dozen himself.
its past the point of being ridiculous.
Martinez don't go down to fight Canelo, dont acept a catchweight to fight Ward at 164, dont fight Golovkin or Pirog at 160, he want to fight Barker, Macklin, Murray, Chavez or 147 like Pacquiao or Mayweather. He want easy fights, he speech to much but do nothing to fight against the best
Martinez agreed to go down to fight huge name fighters with big paydays in Mayweather and Pacquiao, not the same. Personally I feel it would be duckish if he didn't agree to a CW though. I say this is all a marketing ploy to be in the drivers seat if Canelo does ever come looking for a fight.
Who is Canelo such that Sergio would have to go down in weight? Is he worth the sacrifice?
Sergio knows Mayweather is a 147lbs fighter that's why he would move down to 154lbs (midway) to fight an all time great.Honestly who would move down in weight to fight someone who's been fighting old men and small guys like Lopez?
You definitely didn't hear that from me.
Think about it, Martinez - Chavez Jr did 500k buys on the same day Canelo was fighting for FREE.
Draw wise Canelo isn't any better than Martinez IMO. They both do 1M-ish viewers and Martinez's last event sold out... the same day Canelo fought.
Lol it sure wasnt bc martinez. Martinez did those numbers bc of chavez
Team Martinez also previously said there was no way he'd move up to fight Ward because he needs to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner before weigh in just to make 160...
Martinez... Accused of fighting no name hype jobs for not fighting.... Get this.. Pirog or GGG. Lol. Chavez, overhyped as he is has done more than Pirog, GGG and Canelo. How's that for hype? Seriously does Pirog even fight anymore? GGG is doing what youre accusing Martinez of doing and with much lesser fighters...coming up to 160 for him. Canelo hss been fighting smaller dudes the whole time. Yet Martinez moves up, fights these big guys (Pavlik and Jr are HUGE)..and the p4p top 10 alleged Mayweather killer in P Will..solid fighter in Dzinz..Macklin which people wanted. Between Canelo, GGG, and Pirog... Who have they beat better..combine their best wins see if they add up.
I'll wait.
P.s. I actually like all three mentioned fighters.... GGG and Canelo a lot...
Did he get dropped and end up on queer street by a proven 3 division champion??no....but Sergio got dropped by a damn stiff ass hype job Yeah after 11 rounds of dominating a "stiff bum" who outweighed him by 30 pounds or so lmao
IMO, Sergio deserves to call the shots over Canelo. He put in the work.
Same reason Floyd should be able to call the shots over Canelo as well. Canelo will get to be that guy at some point in his career.
And floyd had a rough fight with a shot Cotto if that's how your going to make it sound.

It's a duck for being the better fighter who can only fight on HBO an is arguably the bigger name, if anything is undoubtedly the more celebrated of the two... So he gets called out...accepts to fight him at his current class as champion...and on HBO (because he has a deal apparently..Canelo appears to be free to choose)... What a duck... Lol.
Martinez...accepting challenges since 2010....but is ducking.
Seriously (as a massive Canelo fan) wtf is he to tell Martinez and Floyd what to do!? Canelo giving out ultimatums to Floyd..has martinez "ducking" him now... What's next..Ward is ducking him? Anyone want to remind these people Canelo has fought no one? We're supposed to believe the proven top p4p guys are ducking...of ALL people...Canelo? >__>... Come on, guys you should realize how ridiculous this is....

Sergio is the one who has been talking bout he can go as low as 150...never heard Canelo say anything bout 160
Martinez is the lineal undisputed mw champ of the world, if a young guy like Canelo wants to get in the ring with him it has to be on SM's terms. Floyd is the p4p no.1 and brings a hell of a lot of cash to the table. Is it really hard to see why he will go down for one and not the other?

Not at all. Canelo can make 160 easily he should jump at his chance... unless he's ducking....

So in other words his old ass would be drained at 154 and he is just trying to cash out
Yeah, possibly. Only Martinez knows for sure. But floyd has a relatively low workrate so even if Martinez stamina is hurt a bit he could still think he is able to pull it off and also don't have to worry about Floyds Power.
No, Martinez would have problems going to 154 but says he is willing to do it anyway if he gets to fight Floyd who is p4p #1 and brings massive cash. He is not willing to do that to himself for anyone else because they dosen't bring enough to the table. Also beating Floyd would be a massive thing so he is willing to take the risk going to 154. Alvarez on the other hand is not worth it and Martinez probably feels he is better fighter so he dosen't need to prove anything and that Alvarez needs to come to him.
This. Floyd has earned the right to make fighters to come to his weight class, Canelo hasn't.
