Comments Thread For: Golovkin: Everyone Wants The Sergio Martinez Fight

[RawDawgHasSpokn]

Sergio will fight Cotto before/If he fights GGG. Martinez has nothing to gain from the punishment he'd get, even though he does have a good chance of outboxing GGG. GGG's defense needs work but the guy is freakishly powerful.

[Boskop]

If he beats Cotto, which is a big IF, he might just go for GGG.
Sergio is not afraid of anyone, only his management is, but I think everybody knows what would happen... even with headgear and 14 ounce gloves

That doesn't include me, don't know what beating Martinez is suppose to prove at this point

[Mr. Philadel]

Recent fights that people screamed weren't going to happened because a fighter was scared that did end up happening:

Matthysse-Garcia
Rigo-Donaire
Trout-Alvarez
Macklin-Golovkin
Chavez-Martinez

If Martinez defeats Cotto impressively and if Golovkin is indeed fighting Murray next, the stars will align perfectly where the fight has to happen and will. By the second half of 2014, it'll be a marketable PPV fight.

After Cotto, Sergio will probably fight his mandatory...Rubio

I feel you about dudes being quick to call fighters scared or ducks....I just hope you can add Martinez-Golovkin to that list

Martinez is too scared to fight GGG and the purse wont be enough to lure him.

Martinez doesn't fear anybody! His wins over Chavez Jr., Pavlik and P. Will easily trump everything Golovkin has done to date.

Sergio is damn near 40, seemingly bad wheels. It'd be ****** for him not to go after Cotto first. I'd put Canelo ahead of GGG as well.

Everyone except Lou DiBella.

It's either the passing of the torch, or a great win for an aging division kingpin. Either way, it needs to happen for the good of the middleweight division.

Some of the hate is so thick in here it's hard to breath. GGG is forreal and he would hurt Martinez at his current age.

Nah, honestly...I'm good. I'll watch but I don't care for it.

Barker/IBF title seems much more manageable now that Golovkin is generating more money. I'm sure HBO will be more than willing to drop some notes.
If it goes to Sturm, no chance in hell

Barker has a rematch clause with Sturm, he's locked up for a while
