Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Doesn't Rule Out a Canelo Showdown

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Middleweight king Sergio Martinez (49-2-2, 28KOs) is open to dropping down in weight for the right fight. If Martinez is unable to finalize a September fight against WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (45-0-1, 31KOs) - the Argentine star is willing to move down as low as 150-pounds to make face a major name - and that includes WBC 154-pound champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (39-0-1, 29KOs).

I can't see Martinez/Alvarez being that competitive at this point. Maybe in a couple years, as Sergio pushes 40 and Canelo gets more (elite level) fights under his belt.

Oscar will never let that happen... never

[Evil Abed]

lol.

I can.

Probably... all Canelo cares about is being considered the P4P best so fighting a top 3 P4P is very tempting.

[Hougigo]

Hahaha, if it wasup to Canelo, he'd take it.

[brick wall]

so he's going to move down at 154 for canelo but kirkland has to go up to 160 to fight him.

[Bushbaby]

He should. He isn't proven shot yet, the timing isn't right for canelo to take interest.

I'd love to see Canelo step up and fight Martinez, it'd make Chavez look like even more of a coward. Alvarez might actually but....

I don't think Golden Boy will ever let that happen. he's fighting a broke down over the hill Shane Mosley when he could be facing his mandatory opponent James Kirkland. I think Alvarez is patient enough to take out Kirkland but it seems GBP doesn't have faith in the kid or they'd stop matching him against bums and old guys.


I got Martinez by KO but Canelo has a great left hook and always has a punchers chance.
