Sergio Martinez' has no ground to stand on.....

[DoktorSleepless]

I am surprised that so many people give Sergio a pass on calling out a guy that started at like 105 lbs and another guy that started at 130 lbs,

Why does it matter at what weight they started at? I used to weight 105 pounds too, but guess what? I grew up naturally and now I'm 140 pounds. Amazing isn't it?

and straight up refusing to fight Pirog. Whether or not that fight was offered in Europe, Sergio still declined that fight. Also, Lou and Sergio claim that Pirog has done nothing outside of beating Jacobs.....what the hell did Darren Barker do??????? Yes, Barker pretty much turned out to be better than anyone thought he was, but if Pirog hasn't earned a Sergio fight, than Barker sure as hell didn't.

It's completely irrelevant. See my thread on Pirog. HBO blacklist Pirog at the time and Martinez wouldn't have been able to fight him even if he wanted to. And fighting Pirog in Russia with no American TV is ridiculous. He had to fight Barker because all the other top 160 pounds didn't want the fight. Sturm, Chavez, Geale, Quillin, and Lee refused it. HBO would not have Zibik on again and Golovkin wasn't allowed to fight in the US. Who the hell else could he have fought? Anyway, he's about to fight a top 3 middleweight. There's no reason to fight Pirog over Macklin.

Ray Leonard was a natural WW who started at WW. Floyd started at SFW. Pac started at a much lower weight. What exactly is your point?

Lets deal with the present and not what weights they started at. The fight wouldn't even take place at middleweight and "lil Floyd" would fight at the 154 limit which he has done before. So why does this fight not happen?
