Comments Thread For: Team Sergio Martinez: We Will Never Let Him Fight at 168!

MR. ****, tell me the fight where Hopkins fought for the Jr. Middleweight title. Can you tell me Mr. Tiny ****?

Hey **** for brains, you said he never fought below 160. Go check your facts, fool. Once more since you are a slow or no learner.

Not true at all. Hopkins was always calling out De La Hoya, before De La Hoya even entertained fighting Hopkins. For the same reason Sergio Martinez is calling out Manny and Floyd; Money. Hopkins knew the money was with De La Hoya and Trinidad, just like Sergio knows the money is with Manny and Floyd.

You're way wrong, dude. Oscar was talking about moving up to 160 while fighting at 154, especially after he beat Vargas. Of course, Hopkins wanted the payday. But he wasn't begging Oscar to move up to 160.

Hopkins fought guys 2 divisions higher, Martinez will NOT but he doesn't have a problem fighting smaller guys who already have jumped 4-6 divisions, fool!

Martinez knows he's getting closer to being 40. He knows time's up. He wants a big payday and then possibly retire. I don't have anything against him. I'm just amused how he can call out Mayweather and Pacquiao but acts offended when asked to move up.

Also, what makes him think that he deserves such a big fight? He's not a household name and his purse would not even be that high.

Exactly! And Trinidad had already moved up on his own accord too. Martinez cant keep Pac and Mayweather's name out of his mouth.

Hopkins was calling Oscar out when Oscar was 147. I even remember one of the quotes Hopkins used to get Oscar to fight at 160.

It was something to the effect of, "Oscar has to stop eating like a supermodel and fight me at one 160".

Who did he fight at 154? You're saying check my facts but you can't answer me.

Again, Hopkins is a natural middle weight, Sergio Martinez is not. Sergio has already moved up.

SPOT ON. . .

And the fact that he tries to act like he's some kind of noble people's champion fighting for glory makes it worse. . .

He is supposedly a POUND FOR POUND champ - the third best in the world according to most. . He should have NO PROBLEM giving up 10-15 pounds of natural weight after rehydration. . .

And he doesn't deserve a big fight - like he says about guys like pirog - they bring nothing to the table - WELL NEITHER DO YOU, SERGIO! (in comparison to the top dogs). . . ANTONIO MARGARITO's SON, Sergio, has been fighting on the world class stage FOR TWO YEARS! AND IN THOSE TWO YEARS: DRAW WITH CINTRON, LOSS TO WILLIAMS, victory over williams, and an 8 rounds to 4 victory over pavlik fresh outta rehab. . .
