Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez vs Darren Barker is Close For October 1

[LoveForBoxing]

It's not because he's unknown, it's because he's never fought anyone remotely close to being world class. It's easy to look good if you only fight bums. Martinez hasn't fought a single true Middleweight yet, despite being the lineal champion. He should be fighting Sturm, or at least a Ring top 5 Middleweight, not a totally unproven fighter like Barker.

No one is saying he's terrible. But no one knows who he is and he's not on Martinez level. Sergio came off a huge win against Paul Williams and is now begging for fights.

At his age wasting time with guys like this is the last thing he needs.

Dibella completely dropped the ball here.

all your points for 200k of mine barker beats martinez ?

This is why Sergio should be fighting at 168..

[Zarco]

Martinez should have made an old past prime big name move up 2 divisions, then I would give him credit.

His ducking of JR continues.

How does this fraud have fans? You Sergio stans should find a new fighter to worship, I suggest following a fighter who isn't a complete coward. Perhaps you should follow the career of the man whom Sergio has ducked, I of course, am referring to the Undisputed Middleweight champion JCCJR. Get on the bandwagon now before it's to late.

why not Pirog?

Martinez has his own way of ducking fighters ://

chavez is now the legit middleweight champion. sergio is just a zsolt erdei inspired knock off soon to be forgotten.

[Dave Rado]

What? Pavlik doesn't count as a true middleweight?

He hasn't fought a true Middleweight since winning the title, which is what I meant to say, and I've edited my post to say that now.

Also, read the other thread. Sturm and Geale don't want the fight.

What other thread? Link please.

barker's a fool for taking this fight at this time.... surely someone should advise him to wait.... get a string of victories together, now he's back from hip surgery....

i don't see the point in fighting, if you don't have a realistic chance in winning.... martinez is just too damn hot right now.

[SOPH~ REP.]

He needs to fight the matrix ,now that's a Fight.165
