Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Says Career is Slowly Reaching The End

[FidellyAgboli]

Tired of seeing him fight nobodies. DiBella apparently sucks, because any decent promoter would have had him cleaning up 154 a long time ago. Kirkland, Cotto, Trout, Canelo, anyone?? Jesus

this thread has 0 to do with Floyd yet you find a way to hate on him

You must be new to boxing

all you do is play games , hate on Pac and troll

sounds like the definition of a fool

Just because you are new to boxing and a fool, I will try to help you just ONCE then ignore anything you write.

This is boxing

matches are made

any champion should fight anyone, or all comers in their division

the paying public like to see challenges , great fights , not one dominate fighter take on all washed up fighters just so his resume reads ****0****

the paying public likes to see the best against the best

the paying public would love to see Sergio the GREAT vs Mayweather the second at 154

IT has everything to do with Sergio as this is ****THE**** FIGHT for him

but shickenAZZ is scart

just watch boxing , look at old films , keep yer mouth shut , quit hating on Pac , etc..........

Most of those are not exactly big fights and do you think Canelo would have fought him up to this point? Canelo has yet to fight a live body.

I don't think Cotto wanted Martinez either as Martinez was calling him out for quite some time.

who wants to see that??it would be pointless and floyd would get no credit at all..a 38 year old dropping down to 154 or lower???hell no im cool on that,now if he wants to go to 160 and try to win the lineal title cool,that would be historic and the only reason this fight should be made,other than that it is pointless

I do and many on here do too. It may very well be difficult, but if Sergio says he can do it I will give him the benefit of the doubt. He is an adult and a champion, so it would be his decision. I would give Floyd credit and others have told you they would as well. I still give Ward credit for beating Dawson the manner in which he did.

If Floyd gives him the requested amount of time to attempt to lose the weight in a healthy manner then my position is why not? I'd rather him fight Sergio at that weight than fight someone like Devon Alexander.

Just because you believe it would be pointless does not mean it would be.

so you want to see floyd fight a weight drained 38 year old

Who really knows how he will perform if he is given the requested amount of time to try to lose weight in a healthy manner?

Who would have thought a 38-year old with his style would still be able to perform at a high level?

He weighed in at 157 against Macklin and din't look like a stick like say someone like Chavez does at his weigh-ins. I realize Chavez is a lot younger, but it definitely does look doable for Martinez to reach 154. Maybe, it would require the loss of a bit of muscle mass, but I still think he can peform at a relatively high level if he is given the requested amount of time.

Who do you want to see him fight after Guerrero and Canelo (yet to fight a live body, so I don't see how you could be excited for this)? Bradley isn't happening since he is with Top Rank and would you be excited for someone like Devon Alexander?

[Ringlife]

He will fight Murray in April the fight Chavez Jr in late 2013. Then hopefully he gets a big money fight then retires.

[FeFist]

Running back to that safehouse in Yemen?

The man is shook. He doesn't want it with Chavez, but on the 14th of September his career is coming to a bloody and violent end.

47 have tried and 47 have failed. Martinez can run, but he can't hide.

It is always nice seeing a father with his son.

It is possible for him to clean out 160 in two fights, but the other titlists would have to fight each other as well. Chavez/Macklin, Golovkin/Geale and Quillin/Pirog. Martinez beats Murray, fights the winner of Quillin/Pirog while the winners of the other two bouts fight one another. Then the winners fight each other. I hope Sergio doesn't waste his time by rematching Chavez.

unfortunately i think he will waste his time with a chavez rematch. that's the only possible fight for him that makes money. alvarez, cotto, and mayweather don't want to face him, and i doubt he could get a c/w with ward. even then, a fight with ward wouldn't make any serious money imo, not like a chavez rematch. no one at MW besides chavez can offer a nice paycheck.
i wish someone like mayweather or alvarez would be willing to fight him at 154 in late 2013, but i think those two will face each other (alvarez/cotto and mayweather/guerrero happens on may 2013). it's been an awesome career for martinez. he has his money and health intact, and did as much as he could trying to get the big names in the ring with him. he should really consider a final fight if nothing big is possible after the chavez rematch (if that does happen).

Most of those are not exactly big fights and do you think Canelo would have fought him up to this point? Canelo has yet to fight a live body.

I don't think Cotto wanted Martinez either as Martinez was calling him out for quite some time.

do people forget he tried for the longest to get a fight with cotto? haha. martinez is obviously more comfortable at MW, but even if he was at 154, he still wouldn't get those fights imo. he's not a gbp or top rank fighter, so it's not like he'd freely get to pick and choose all those names at 154. only ones i've heard of that are willing to face him are lara.

hope one of those 3 fights include gennady golovkin...would love to see martinez pass on the torch to someone like golovkin who i think will do great thngs in boxing.
