Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Tells The WBC: I Want Chavez or Zbik

[King Ju-Ju]

i hope chavez beats zbik now so sergio can embaress his wack ass.

Chavez won't have to vacate anything. Suliman will find a way to keep Sergio away from Chavez just how he found a way of giving chavez a tittle shot without facing Martinez And just how he found a way to make Canelo 154 WBC champion.

I don't underestimate Suliman's ability to pull of his corrupt dealings but he would also have to find a way to strip Lemieux of his mandatory status after Lemieux beats Rubio. If Chavez beats Zbik yjr Martinez and Lemieux are waiting to destroy him, that would require an awful lot of strings to be pulled for Chavez to avoid having to fight both guys.

The mandatory for the Zbik/Chavez winner is David Lemieux. I'd much rather see the winner fight a voluntary defense against someone other than Martinez and have Lemieux win and fight Sergio.

I'd also like to see him fight for the other belt he rightfully won, the WBO, against Pirog. Doubt that'll happen though, how come he doesn't feel the same about tht one? Is the fact that the WBC belt is held by chumps just coincidence?

Yes, Martinez has been fighting softy opponents like Paul Williams and Dzinziruk while avoiding Pirog, who has fought who since beating Daniel Jacobs? Oh, that's right, he's fighting Argentine clubfighter Javier Francisco Maciel next.
Martinez, what a wussy

Why the hell would Martinez and Dibella walk away from an HBO date? You're just making stuff up. Dzinziruk wasn't some last minute option. He was always on the table. And happily? Dibella was mad Dzinziruk was forced on Martinez because Dzinziruk was supposed to **** up Martinez' momentum of exciting fights.

because hbo wouldn't approve any easy opponents. i've already posted numerous articles detailing that. dzinziruk was a last minute opponent hbo came up with(they owed gary shaw a dzinziruk fight). this fight was a win/win for hbo and dibella. hbo fulfills an obligation and dibella gets a suitable opponent.

dibella might have been mad that hbo didn't approve any of his initial opponents but he was happy that hbo approved someone that wouldn't challenge martinez. don't believe his promoter speak about dzinziruk being a tough fight or any of that nonsense. he would have said zbik is a tough fight as well. promoters have to say that. you don't have to believe it.

chavez jr will beat zbik by controversial decision and become wbc champ. he will then be stripped because he's unable to fight lemiuex due to sickness. lemieux will then be elevated to wbc champion. martinez will then fight for the interim wbc belt against a bum like manfredo. chavez jr will recover from his sickness and be elevated to wbc emeritus super champion. everyone wins!(except the fans but **** them)

[King Ju-Ju]

i think sergio would want chavez because that fight would get him more money then the zbik scrap.

[Pullcounter]

why the **** doesn martinez want these guys? fight kirkland or pirog!!!!

Yes, I'm sure Dibella was ecstatic about giving up $850,000 of the purse to some guy no one has ever heard of. Less that what Martinez made for the Williams fight.

[rprayny]

Is it me or everyday when you get on boxingscene.com you read Martinez wants blah blah blah and next day martinez wants blah blah blah. If boxing was like Sex Martinez would be a slut, he wants everybody everyday!

[Iceta Lives]

Man, Martinez seems to be looking out for #1 now and not fighting the guys who are the most suitable for the fans. He has fought often and all that, but that's only because HBO lets them. Guys like Dawson, Berto, and Williams don't fight that much and I don't like the first two guys I mentioned. But every fighter would fight three times a year if they got the dates that Sergio has.

What I'm saying is Sergio isn't this throw back fighter that his hardcore fans make him out to be just because he's active. And to their credit though, they don't use him being active as an excuse for him not fighting the toughest competition out there.
