Comments Thread For: Frank Martin Has To Fight Stevenson If He Wants Zepeda, Says De La Hoya

[Jab jab boom]

So you gotta beat the A guy to get to the B guy? Ok.

Martin still has Shakur problems is what Dela Hoya is saying here, which is senseless. Frank was already offered the fight and turned it down. There's no need to bring it up.

Hoya could have just responded by askng Martin if he's willing to fight on a GBP card and Frank would have had a hard time responding. I don't even think Martin is even serious about this fight. He just had to say anything as an answer to whatever the interviewer was asking.

basket case de la hoya - wasn;'t he sayin just a month ago he wants all promoters to work together to make the best fights?

Martin - Zepeda is a great fight - neither of them are creme de la creme at 135 - so the winner gets to rise to the top

LMAO Frank Martin can find 100 other Zepedas.....

Zepeda like Vergil Ortiz are irrelevant

[MulaKO]

Martin would lose to Zepeda and definitely lose to Stevenson

ODL would have been a hall of fame blocker in the NFL, he would of made every mediocre running back look like a star

[just the facts]

Standard stuff for Oscar/GBP. They just don’t match their fighters vs tough competition unless it’s for big money. Remember Oscar didn’t want the Tank/Garcia fight. It’s strange considering Oscar himself was ALWAYS willing to fight quality opponents. I think it’s because Oscar doesn’t have faith in his stable.

That was a ****** statement by DLH. Make the damm fight happen or atleast make Zepeda vs Edwin De Los Santos.
Zepeda doesn't have jack shiat at GB.

Isn't Frank Martin irrelevant himself.

Why is Martin not calling out De Los Santos, who is available and also with PBC?
Edwin barely got any scratches from his last fight. His sparring sessions were harder.
Martin wants none of that De Los Santos smoke, does he?
He already avoided him and picked a European guy, who nobody knew existed,
when De Los Santos was available for him for almost a year.
