    Doesn't change the fact than Darren Barker is not even close to Miguel Cotto's league.
    hey dan who was out there that he didnt fight?

      No one really. Wouldn't say he ducked anyone.

      I would have liked to have seen Pirog-Martinez when it was hot.

      A fight with Sturm would have been good.

      Few others.

      Would be good to see him fight Golvkin at some point now he's making noise and if he continues to.

      I wouldn't say it's his fault. But, it doesn't change the fact that Barker, Murray, Dzinzurik are not good fights or average fights at very best.

      Like I said, the Macklin fight was fine by me considering he should have got the W against Sturm but even that fight wasn't really a fight I was excited about. But again, it was solid.

        The glaring difference between Floyd & Ward is that Martinez is perfectly willing to meet Floyd at 154. Floyd does not have to move up at all. The same cannot be said about a Ward-Martinez fight.

          Fair point but I still consider floyd a ww. Fighting ODH and Cotto at 154 was more about money IMO.

          Of course Sergio would come down to fight floyd for the money, I just can't see floyd taking a fight that may sell less than Cotto unless it's a Guerrero fight designed as a set up for Canelo.

          Sergio may get lucky and get floyd in september although thats highly unlikely, especially since the Ring has Ghost in its top 10 p4p and ODH is saying he is FOTY. so its looking like floyd/ghost then floyd/canelo.

                He's a fantastic fighter who fights everybody of note in his division and then handily whips their ass.

                Shame none of the bigger names seem to want to mix it up with him.

                    So would I.

                    I'd like to see Golovkin get a solid win or two under his belt then a fight with him and Martinez is logical.

                      He's one of the best current fighters in the sport right now. He has beat everybody that Lou Dibella put in front of him.
