Comments Thread For: Team Martinez: We'll Fight Canelo, Only at 160 and on HBO

[El Angel]

What I want to know is when is Sergio going to fight Golovkin, Geale, Pirog, Quillin, and clean out 160 completely. Because Murray and a Chavez rematch are as pointless as it gets, and people want to complain about Floyd's opposition.

Pirog gets a lot of credit for doing jack shit with his career, the win over Jacobs being the best thing he's ever done. I don't really care if he ever gets a shot, he hasn't earned it. Wouldn't mind any of the other bouts though over Chavez II for sure.

Canelo threw three names out, only one was a legit fight IMO. Sergio? No, canelo mentioned him just to sound like a boss. Angulo? On ppv? Not a chance. Who that leaves? Cotto. Canelo vs Cotto in sept.

What?

he's scared of Canelo's power

Really? What makes you think that if Canelo moved up that he wouldn't gain some more power in his punch at 160?

Martinez thinks that he's better off skill and conditioning wise to face Canelo at 160 instead of 154. The Floyd exception is partly because he doubts that he could be affected by his power shots at that weight...Oh and because of Floyd's selective punch output.

I like the match-up at 160 between those two...Don't see it happening this year though
