Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Targets Mayweather vs. Canelo Winner

[Dirk Diggler UK]

No, he didn't. He also didn't beat Ortiz or Guerrerro or anyone else at 147, which is where Mayweather has spent the majority of his time fighting in recent years. He also didn't beat anyone at 154 to become Mayweather's mandatory opponent like Guerrerro did. When Mayweather moved up in weight, it was to fight guys who had a fan base and could help sell PPVs (De La Hoya, Cotto, Alvarez). Martinez has no fan base.

He has a bigger fanbase than Guerrero or Ortiz. Since when did Floyd start caring about mandos?

Pre fight: Floyd is scared.

Post fight: Floyd cherry picked an old bum.

THIS plus floyed waited until he looked vulnerable

ya whatever sergio you said 3 months ago you wouldn fight on showtime no matter what give it a rest the people who take this serious and call floyd for ducking sergio are desperate to make floyd look scarred of people at this point. next it will be andre ward or something crazy like that

[Zelong Dong]

Floyd supporters never give it a rest. They do more harm than good

I don't remember Floyd saying anything about Martinez recently, but I could be wrong.

"Sergio Martinez is 160. Floyd Mayweather walks around at 147. Where was Sergio Martinez when I was dominating when I was 21? Nowhere to be found."

Floyd is not interested in a Martinez fight, even if Martinez comes down.

Sergio's promoter isn't keen on that fight I talked to Dibella after the Ghost fight he think's Sergio is about done.

No promoter would turn down a Mayweather fight, unless they have a Pacquiao in their stable.

All u idiots talking this GGG **** is ******. ggG is good, has power but can't move in the ring and will get countered all day by Sergio.

You don't win a silver medal and beat guys like Andre Dirrell in the amateurs if you can't move in the ring and are easy to counter.

Martinez hasn't been at 154 in what......5-6 years? NOT. GOING. TO. HAPPEN.

[bojangles1987]

Man, **** Sergio. Don't even care about this talk from him anymore. He doesn't do anything to make it more possible.

I'd bet money on that. Floyds a genius at making it look as if he's fighting stars when he's actually carefully cherry picking. Expired champs, slow fighters with a low KO rate, 22 year olds with no experience. Martinez would have KO Murray just two years ago, now he barely kept his belt.
Floyd knew better than to fight Martinez in his prime or even a couple years ago. Now, older, injured, Floyd can win a UD or even maybe a KO and say he beat a true champ when he's really beating the shadow of what the man once was. Martinez has a crippled hand, and a knee with limited movement. All that keeps him fighting is a fighter's heart.

Seeing how Floyd always manages to fight top guys, usually coming off signature wins. Floyd either has to be psychic or the luckiest man in the history of boxing to always manage to catch these guys when they either get old on fight night or not quite experienced enough to fight him.

Nobody wants to see that fight, Martinez should've lost to Murray, Floyd would beat him comfortably.

That 80/20 offer was a publicity stunt for gullible fans. Do you really think Martinez gets $20m vs Floyd?? Get real. He's lucky if he gets 10%. Fighters who fight Floyd don't get percentages, they get appearance fees. Sergio would be FORTUNATE to get $10m, if that.

You're both right, that 10m would likely come out to about 20%
