Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez: I Want The Mayweather-Canelo Winner

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (51-2-2, 28KOs) doesn't seem to care which fighter, Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Saul Alvarez, will win on September 14th - but he wants the winner. Martinez is recovering from injuries that he suffered during his April victory over Martin Murray. He is expected back in the first quarter of 2014. Martinez says he is obligated for two more fights with HBO and then afterwards he will consider if the time is right to retire from boxing. Until then, he wants the two biggest fights possible when he returns.

GGG vs Sergio, winner gets Floyd Canelo winner

Thats probably what he takes if he doesn't get Floyd/Canelo

[HanzGruber]

that would be pretty epic, even though who ever wins this fight would most likely beat serg

Martinez has paid his dues. GGG needs to pay his by facing a champion before he steps in the ring with Maravilla.

Martinez must be punch drunk after that knockdown by Chavez Jr.

It is technically impossible for him to fight Canelo Alvarez or Floyd Mayweather because they are both contractually obligated to fight on Showtime. And Sergio Martinez just said himself, in that same interview, that he's contractually obligated for TWO more fights with HBO.

And yet, Martinez didn't put 1 + 1 together.

Not possible. Canelo will have to rematch Floyd if he wins, Floyd is on an exclusive Showtime contract. Move on Sergio.

People dismiss the fact there will be a rematch regardless of what happens in september....between the fact there are belts at stake the sheer numbers project make a rematch a mandatory for both men. I respect Martinez and to his credit he's been asking for the Floyd fight for quite some time now.

Yeah, if the fight is at all competitive I'd expect a rematch. The numbers are likely to be too good to pass up if that's the case. If it's a shutout it'd be a tough sell, though.

after letting golovking steal his throne via forfeit he should look to reclaim it instead of targetting lil men.
