Wasn’t Martinez and Sturm hella old already just like Golovkin is too old for Andrade and Charlo??? All I ever hear is all these cry babies bringing up things that were with held from Golovkin but It’s a fact that Golovkin is more of a diva then these guys were.
Pretty much all what you said here. Sturm for whatever reason was protected from fighting GGG in Germany at the time. This cause a lot of issue with GGG and his promoter at that time.
Like you said Martinez was chasing his last paydays as he was already done when he was fighting the Martin Murray’s of these world. He was looking to sell his belt at Di bella did well to get him the last few fights that brought the money in for him. Martinez already paid his dues always being the B-sides from Pavlik to Williams to cotto.
All Facts!!
He didn't price himself out. He was never offered either fight.
GGG was the mandatory and Sturm straight up ducked golovkin. Just like he ducked Abraham. Sturm was a fraud.
Martinez didnt duck GGG. He was just chasing big money fights because his career was winding down due to injuries. So ggg wasn't really a option. Cotto made more sense for sergio

Martinez was finished at that point anyways. and I'm not throwing any shade. Big fan of Maravilla, but I would not have wanted to see the Martinez that got **** kicked by Cotto in there with a Prime Golovkin.
And GGG wouldn't have gotten any credit for beating a past prime Sergio.
Loeffler is on record saying Martinez was never offered that fight and it was more a matter of their schedules not lining up. It was Abel who made the claim that Martinez was ducking him to create the GGG hype which many fans and folks in the media bought into.
