Comments Thread For: Martinez More Interested in Margarito Than Floyd Mayweather

[Jim Jeffries]

After fighting Williams and Pavlik back to back, sounds like a good move to me.

Margarito will be a good paycheck and he can avenge his only real loss.

Then he can fight Floyd when he gets done.

IF you are going to avenge losses why don't you start with the person who most recently beat you? I can understand fighting PBF it would be huge money and a big fight, but Margarito in Mexico, since he is banned in the US? **** that. Martinez gets no props for making that decision.

Thats one of the few times where he actually won although he lost. I mean he gained alot of fans after his performance against Paul, I wouldn't say thats a lost lost. He can easily take care of Margarito and build his status up.

Olivia Munn is a vapid and overrated ****.

I knew he didnt want it with Floyd.

Martinez vs Margarito would be interesting.

[Cash Cow]

WBC/WBO middleweight champion Sergio Martinez is more interested in a rematch with Antonio Margarito, who returned on Saturday night in Mexico, than a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Last week Mayweather said a move to middleweight to challenge Martinez was a possibility if a fight with Manny Pacquiao does not come about. Margarito knocked Martinez out in the seventh round in February of 2000. [Click Here To Read More]

I think Martinez knows that a fight against Margarito would bring him a lot more money and is a fight he can win. A fight against Williams will be tough and doesn't bring a lot of money for him. And a fight against Mayweather is difficult because of his style and he may feel he is not ready just yet. Its good to have options.

Yeah, if Pavlik is out of the way then it seems like Paul Williams should be his next logical fight. But I guess fighting Antonio Margarito would give him a chance to keep the belt a little longer.

In a way I kind of hope he does make the Margarito fight, that way Pacquiao doesn't have the option of fighting Margacheato instead of Floyd.

Although knowing Bob Arum he will have Pac fight the winner of Foreman-Cotto instead.

Pointless mismatch.

i dont think avenging a loss that seemed more like a win (against williams) is not in the same level as avenging a loss that was a real loss (against margarito)...myself and many others thought martinez beat williams....you cant say the same with the loss to margarito.
