Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez's Return Likely Pushed Back To September

[hitking]

I'll give Floyd a tune up but I would love to see him just come back and fight Sergio.

In his "comeback", Mayweather has only been fighting once a year anyway. If he fights this year, I'd don't see any need for a tune-up. Actually, a tune-up would just be an excuse to collect eight figures for fighting a bum. I'll pass.

I have no problem with Maravilla taking an "easy" fight against somebody like Manfredo. After fighting the long line of top quality guys he's been fighting, he deserves a bit of a break, and Manfredo is a good local kid who fights his heart out.

why not just fight pirog who is as easy a fight?

This is true...

So Cotto basically has to take care of business against Margarito and Cotto-Martinez takes place as planned. Too bad Sergio has absolutely no bargaining chips (besides maybe his championship, if Cotto goes after it) and will get the very short end of the negotiating stick.

But who cares about all that? Make that **** happen

Or maybe, the one (or both) of the P4P jokes (Mayweather and Pacquaio) could step up and fight the middleweight champ at 154, a division where they both gladly promote themselves as title winners.

[Seleção No. 13]

In his last couple fights, he's entered the ring at or around 170. That's all he'd need to beat the legend. B-Hop can't keep up with Maravilla's workrate at this point in his career.

Might be too much weight for him to carry.

And this is the exact reason why Manny fighting at 154 is a joke. He doesn't even weigh at that limit during fight night. Martinez coming in at 170 makes him viable for a light heavyweight catchweight as well?

Or maybe, the Middleweight champ can fight other middleweights... what a novel idea

But Cotto and Sergio's people have a verbal agreement to fight in September, Martinez wants to fight in a PPV, so there you go.

"Martinez will take part in several functions to speak out against violence and domestic abuse. "

Great maybe Mayweather will be in attendance and hopefully this black bastard learns something when it comes to domestic abuse....

What would be a joke is Martinez fighting B-Hop at light heavy, then claiming he's too little when Chad Dawson or one of the young guns come calling.

Martinez ducked his last 2 mandatorys so I don't know who hes fighting in Sept but I know for damn sure it won't be his #1 mandatory who earned the right to fight for the title.

I also know he wont give Pwill a rubber match even though he is 1-1 against Pwill and I also know he wont rematch Margarito who KTFO outta Martinez and Pacquiao beat the **** outta Margarito.

A Pac fan with the nerve to say a fighter is ducking someone.

"Shane called me earlier [Monday] and said that's it, he's had it," Shaefer said. "He's not waiting around anymore. He said, 'This guy [Pacquiao] is obviously scared of me. So let's move on.' Sugar Shane Mosley's career has not been built around Pacquiao. He already has a legacy of greatness. But eventually a Mayweather or Cotto or Pacquiao will need him. That day will come."

When Shane was on top but now Pac fights him because Shane is considered a done fighter.

Who at middleweight would you pay $60 to watch Martinez fight on PPV? And did you see Cotto-Mayorga? What's wrong with P4P elites fighting other P4P elites?

Its the same as when PR's are attacked, or Mexicans...

Alot of bigotry and racism here goes unchecked. It should not be tolerated but for whatever reason the ones in charge don't seem to give a damn.
