Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Hits NYC, Plans To Meet With HBO

[batista84]

i would love to see him one more time against Cotto for another huge payday and after that he should hang em up!

Why Cotto? doesn't he fight @160, he should face Golovkin, Quillin or Chavez Jr. rematch, another fight with an unknown fighter will do bad por HBO.

I hope Sergio fights once or twice more then retires. I don't think he has the chin to keep fighting.

I agree with WesleySnipes, I would like to see him fight Cotto.

I do not want to see him fight GGG. That would not be competitive.

LMAO, neither or those would be competitive, Sergio would beat Cotto, and GGG would KO Martinez, no valid point in your statement.

barker, macklin, and murray are better names to have on your record in the MIDDLEWEIGHT division than the guys quillin or golovkin have, since they are actual middleweights. i doubt anyone would call those british MWs bums. second-tier might be a better word, but not actual "bums". plus, before murray, martinez defeated the second best MW in chavez (at the time). exactly what matchups would have been better for martinez than macklin, chavez, and murray?

Chavez Jr. is not a serious boxer you saw his camp for the Martinez fight? waking up at 12:00pm and having fruity loops for breakfast? cmon, GGG and Quillin are so much better than those other guys who nobody knew here in America till they fought Martinez.

I agree. I think early 2014 is the perfect time for Mayweather-Martinez. Its now or never for that fight.

There you have a ***** hater, Jesus poor Floyd will never be recognized till he actually picks God to fight him and wins against him.

Martinez is @160 Floyd fights @147 and very hardly @154, does your statement sounds logical to anyone???? no, period.

He was a world champion and clearly a bigger threat/better fighter than those guys. You are lying to yourself if you claim otherwise.

No one, including you, would give a *** about the three Brits if they'd never been hand picked to fight Martinez.

Pirog is overrated as hell, he's never done anything and he was technically gift-wrapped a vacant belt fighting a prospect; the guy (Pirog) was like 32 only had about 15 fights on his resume. In a span of three years since the Jacobs fight he's fought three times against 154 opponents Maciel, a pigmy Russian goatfarmer, and Ishida all of these in Russia. HBO didn't want Pirog at the time and Sergio was holding out for Chavez Jr. If Sergio had won a title he would have lost his mandatory status and his shot at a big money ppv against Chavez Jr., which he eventually got. It's funny how people conveniently overlook this.

HBO didn't want Pirog but they wanted Darren Barker?

Dude your comment is a complete contridiction! first you dismiss Cotto and then you criticize martinez for fighting unknown fighters. Hello!!! Cotto is the most well know fighter on that list you dummy!
