Comments Thread For: Derrick James Believes Frank Martin Is Ready For The Lightweight Division's Elite

[Eastlos]

I see that you are just arguing for Zepeda regardless of the facts. Duno fought Ryan because he actually got to that point as a prospect, he was given the fight before Garcia became too big, in his own mind, for him. Marinez, who could possibly beat Zepeda, much less Tenajara, was robbed against Rolly and there was a big stink made about it. Tenajara couldn't punch through a wet paper bag, has 6 KOs for his entire career, and is still fighting nobodies. Zepeda is straight up ducking Shakur, a fxcking CONTINENTAL belt doesn't mean shxt, especially when he could have fought a name like Shakur for his resume. Stevenson called him out and he didn't want NO smoke. Martin would embarrass William.

Geez.. You still trying to talk up a dude in Duno that was KO’d in less than 2 minutes by a young Ryan, LOL. While Marińez was coming off a 2 fight losing streak when he fought Martin but yeah dude is a much better prospect than Tenajara who was unbeaten and had a W against former champ Gutierrez on his resume when he fought El Camaron, C’mon… I guess Martin ducking Shakur too seeing how he called him out too but aint fighting him next right? I mean that’s your logic so I guess both are ducking LOL. Martin is easy work for Zepeda dude ain’t special in anyway another Hank Lundy type journeymen is Martin future

LOL, I’ll take 12 rounds with a road warrior in Alvarado over a W against a bum in Duno who didn’t even last 1 round against Ryan or a W against Marińez that was coming off a loss to Rolly. Also, remember hearing Martin say he fight Shakur but obviously that’s all cap seeing how dude most likely fighting a bum next after beating an unproven prospect that was known more for looking like Ali than his actual skills HAHAHA

That bum is probably "Pitbull" Cruz! I don't know how you can defend 2 fighters scared of Shakur, and he hasn't even fought @ 135 yet! Tell Cruz and Zepeda to grow some balls! At least fight each other, since they scared of Shakur! Lol!

How bout you tell Martin to accept the Shakur fight next, he already said he’ll fight him I mean is he scared of the Boricua Shakur or is he all cap???

Tenajara was unbeaten because he was fighting guys that barely had boxing shoes, straight cans, and Gutierrez is a 130 lber, good job. He still doesn't fight anybody, but you're saying he was a top prospect, good luck selling that. I'm sure that Martin will fight Shakur, especially if he sends him a contract like he did Zepeda, but he won't duck and run.

Shakur is fighting Yoshino, because Yoshino is ranked WBC #5, and Martin is WBC #9! If you knew about the sport, you would know that Martin can't jump Yoshino! However, there's nothing preventing Cruz from fighting Martin! Let's see if he chooses to do so, or is he scared?

[BustedKnuckles]

Based off what? There’s levels to it and Martin is levels above both Zepeda and Jojo Diaz.

Might be true. But I want to see it, and then I'll say so, if that's how it plays out.

The more you say… the more I know you’re nothing more than a casual. Of course Martin can jump the line, there’s plenty examples of lower rank fighters getting opportunities over higher rank fighters. I mean take Keef for example how was the Barrios fight an eliminator for Spence belt when Vergil was ranked #1 by the WBC and was calling out Keef for ages? Bruh, just stop already Martin avoided the Puerto Rican Shakur like an STD. Yah boy is nothing more than hype just like Ennis was proven to be in his last match against a no name bum.

I personally don't see anything special about Frank Martin. He's not a bad boxer by any means, but there's no special effects there either. He's one of those kinds of decent boxers that come through, win a belt, lose it, then vanish. That's the vibe I get.

Like a Humberto Soto or Jamel Herring. One of those types that really aren't special but stick around, might become a champion but forgettable.

I could be waaaaay tf wrong I add. He could become an ATG for all I know. But that's just the vibe I get when watching him and I was watching him before this recent hype and push by Spence's camp.

The WBC made that horrible fight, however in this case, they went down the line, ******! First Cruz turned b1tch, then Zepeda turned b1tch! If the WBC were to order Stevenson vs. Martin, he would take it, just like if the IBF ordered Spence vs. Ennis, Ennis would take it! That's why Ennis is IBF Interim Champ! Notice Spence is moving to 154! Spence knows Boots in not a flat-footed Carlos Ocampo, or Mikey Garcia! There are levels to this!

And I love Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Haitians, and Cubans! Those are just Brothers from another Mother!
