    Is martinez being a hypocrite??

    I like the guy and im not trying to hate

    but him calling out the smaller guys then being reluctant to consider a comprimise of 170 with bhop?

    I mean he should take the oppurtunity or atleast consider it?

    what do you guys think about this situation?

    i would guess that sergios fight night weight is around 170 and if it is a little lower he still wouldnt be way out of his weight division...

    plus bhop coming down to 170 could be a struggle for the 47 year old and that might even give sergio an advantage

    Has he he won a title at a weight-class above MW?

    Is he challenging these smaller guys at a weight-class they haven't won a title?

    After you answer both, then ask yourself where's the hypocrisy in that.

      He's willing to fight two guys at a weight they both won belts at. Dont see the problem.

          I've never been interested in such a match up, and I like both Sergio and B-Hop. Just don't see anything intriguing about it.

                170 is a stretch. He should seriously consider Bute's 164 offer though. Or just fight Sturm in Germany at 160. Problem solved.

                No need to kill himself to make 150 or inexplicably go to 170 for no money against Hopkins.

                  ok

                  i guess allot of u guys make good points

                  i just think he could get a real payday and if he loses its to a bigger guy so he could have an excuse

                  i dont think its that bad

                  i just think it would be an interesting one

                    This is the big money fight at 160 in Germany.
