Why isnt Sergio calling out Canelo?

[Russian Crushin]

Why would he? Canelo can't bring the money, he hasn't done nearly to prove he's been in the ring with Martinez, and, quite frankly, Martinez would crush him. Canelo is nowhere near ready for Martinez.

He can bring in alot of money, certainly more then Manfredo and Ishida.

Geez you guys are not answering the question of the thread

Sergio continuously said he wanted his belt back when PAC had it. So why doesn't he want it back now?

Your question was answered, and I agreed. It's about money, plain and simple. Whatever Sergio might've said takes a backseat to business. Martinez might want the belt, but not at the expense of his career/bank account. That's really all there is to it. "Maravilla" is a professional athlete looking to maximize his earning potential while his window of opportunity is still open. Picking on Saul Alvarez is the equivalent of schoolboy games.

I bet you Manfredo can draw more in the Northeast than Canelo.

Because Canello smashes him,just like Kirkland would have.

Come on man...really?

Martinez would beat them both in the same night. Kirkland, on a good night, a perfect night for him offensively, would ultimately be broken down by Martinez's counter punching and movement. You can't carry that much muscle and survive unless you have excellent conditioning...Kirkland's conditioning was crap.

Canelo stands a better chance but he is a relatively flatfooted fighter who is an inside fighter. Dude would get tagged trying to get in on Sergio repeatedly and especially when he tries to go to the body, that overhand left would eat him up.
Martinez steamrolls him early and eases off only to step on the gas around the 6th rd to put Canelo down by the 8th rd. After the Cintron fiasco and the subsequent Williams 1 questionable scoring, Martinez knows that he needs to go for the KO in every fight. He will not coast to a decision in America again, so anyone he fights is going to take a beating if Serg can help it.

Only in Mexico though...where I have a feeling that Canelo wouldn't lose a fight even if he got KO'd...somehow, some way, he'd get the nod.

GBP would never allow canelo to fight martinez...sergio would expose canelo.

Poor Martinez. If the world was fair, he'd be in a terrific position to get a big g big money fight.

Unfortunately, the world isn't fair.

There's bigger money fights though. Canelo can bring some, but he asked why Martinez hasn't called him out. I think the main thing is that Canelo isn't ready. I don't think this fight should be made right now. Canelo is very young and needs to build his career more.

But, nobody is saying that Manny/Floyd want "their belt back" now are they?

i never really said i believed he wanted the belt back now did i? i think he wanted to get the belt back from pac for obvious reasons. but to think he has some kinda attachment to the belt like that...nahh. it was a sound bite, and a good one but thats all it was. i dont take that stuff seriously.

[Heeb]

Because he doesn't actually give a fuck about the belt. Are you saying Martinez was trying to cherry-pick Pac?
