Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez's Trainer: We Won't Go To 168-Pounds

Won't step up, what a coward! What a way to disrespect the word "MARAVILLA"..........

I don't think so, Sergio is 5' 10". Bute, Ward, Froch & Kessler are all over 6 feet tall. It's probably the right decision. If he moved up he'd have mixed success, some he could beat, some would be too strong.

martinez is no blown up welterweight, they're just saying that to not scare cotto away. but with him calling out WWs and not fightings SMWs, it all boils down to $$$ and p4p status. floyd and pac are the only guys above him on the p4p rankings, and bring in the most money boxing has to offer. ward and bute simply don't do that, plus just like people say "pac is going to be outweighed on fight night by a lot", well i think martinez will be outweighed as well compared to the SMWs. they said they're able to make 154, so why not call out guys 1 weight division lower, especially if they held belts there? (even though pac's was a joke). all in all, martinez and his camp should forget about fighting either guy because they're doing the same thing (looking at guys a division below to possibly fight), so it's just a waste of breath. as a fan of this guy, he should try and unify the MW division, i'm sure the hbo paychecks will continue to come in if he just fights the top MWs from here on out, which is something i'd love to see happen.

[amir is king]

He should fight brother Amir at 147

[letsgobrady]

He wants to fight guys who weigh 13lbs less then him on the scales, yet won't go up 8lbs.

And who says he isn't cherry picking?

yea your right sergio was much bigger than williams and pavlik

[lopez36]

the guy is too small to fight at supermiddle weight...he's only like 5'10..he's more of a jr middle to me,middleweight tops...those guys at supermiddle are all big,6'2 ,6'3...he should just stay at 154-160,not all boxers are able to keep going up in weight,this is already his third weight class he's fighting in,thats good enough,people just want him to keep going up and it's not fair,if floyd fought oscar at 154 why can't sergio? i think he should just stay at middleweight and fight pirog,chavez or cotto at 154

blown up ww who fights a mw?...yet cant make 150?....what a ****en joke.....

[Chuckguy]

The Floyd and PAC stans are having a field day with this yet they fail to see how their gods do the same fooken thing that segio is doing and when they do they get a pass because "they earned the right to" *** that!

[mrlopez]

sounds pretty pathetic if you ask me......

He's not a blown up WW, he's definitely a JMW/MW who, for his body size and inability to make WW, can fight at SMW if he wanted to. Thats where the $$$$ lies and #1 p4p recognition will come from if he's successful......i'd make it happen if i was him. But since he isnt, and Pac/May wont fight him, then he's going to keep fighting the dzinzuricks, barkers etc......

[flint]

so basically he does'nt want to fight the big guys one weight class above him because they're to heavy.but he wants to fight the guys one or two weight classes below him does'nt that make him to heavy for them? the things that money make people do.

sergio wants high money with a low risk.

[puga]

so what if margo beats cotto?...hmmmn how come they never mentioned margo as if it's a wrap cotto will win....sergio seems to not want a piece of margs ever again....lol
