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

Blown up welterweight that cannot make the welterweight limit. If Martinez can make the weight, he'll corner both Pac and Fraud to get his money shot.

Sergio in a bad spot.

Sergio is kind of in a bad spot as far as his size and the big money fights go. All the top super middleweights have at least two inches on him in height and are much larger; but he can't get anywhere near the welterweight limit without draining himself...He is just gonna have to fight the best for decent pay and accept that he is ****ed lol

Smart move...I'd love to see him go to '54 and do a # on Canelo...never happen...DLH would fight him 1st rather than risk his "golden boy"...

Didn't he say that he would have to cut one leg off to make 154? And the fact that he's a "blown up welterweight" seems a bit silly to me. This guy walks around at 170ish, easy.

Well, if they say he can make 154 just fine, maybe he should pursue some fights there. Hopefully one with Cotto at some point, but I doubt that will go down.

Wtf is wrong wit you? U wanna see miguel get murdered?

He might not even have a choice if he wants more money seeing how boxing is letting everyone duck Martinez. No one wants to fight him since he keeps dominating opponents and making them look silly.

After Martinez had that close fight with Williams that he lost he peaked. It's like he trained even harder after that fight. The only boxers who won't duck him are the ones at 168 because they know they have a weight advantage.

I think Martinez should fight like maybe one or three tune-ups at 168 so he can get his body adjusted to the weight before taking on any top fighter in that division.

I'd expect Martinez to still lose but where else is he going to make money at if 160 and 154 fighters are allowed to duck him?

Did Sarmiento says Sergion make 154 with ease?

Does Martinez still hold belts at 154? If so, should the other belt-holders be his mandatory? One of them? Pacquiao or Canelo someone with a made-up belt fight Martinez! Well, Canelo would be mercked in round 1 if Martinez didn't hold back but if they want to start giving belts away like their candy then those belt-holders should be fighting the top fighters.

A few tuneups at 168 sound good, but how much time does Sergio really have? I think we are gonna see him in decline real soon. Theres just no way his age allows him to keep it up for much longer. Sadly, that's when canelo and these other guys will fight him.

o the irony!! half are pissed that pacq wont fight JMM at 140 or any other JWW for that matter! the other half is pissed that we wont move up to 154 to fight Matinez.. and here we have Marts trainer saying his a 147er blown up that can only make 154... while at the same size Wont go to 168 to fight big names cuz hes too small... but wants Pacq to ..... forget it sick of this hypocrite.. plz fight MWs and shutup..

Why do they let Canelo, Pacquiao, going to be Mayweather Jr.(after he beats Ortiz), hold onto these belts without having to fight the best? All three of them should be stripped if they aren't willing to fight Martinez.
