Yeah, I'm a Martinez fan, and I never blamed him for not fighting GGG for the above-stated reasons. Golovkin arrived on the scene at the tail end of Sergio's career and never could have brought the money Cotto did with his huge readymade audience.
why do people only bring up the big fights like other fights don't happen? sergio fought murray instead of ggg when ggg was ranked #1 and had been on hbo several times.

The point is that Sergio was following the money. As he should have.

Geale was ranked #1 and Sturm #2 at the time. Golovkin had only fought Proksa when Martinez-Murray was made. He became #1 around July.
Just curious because he is roughly the same size at 5'10 as GGG. I don't recall anyone wanting Sergio to fight GGG. They seemed content with Macklin, Chavez Jr, Darren Barker and Murray. They seemed excited for Sergio to fight Cotto and Manny but not so much GGG.
I know he was a phenom before he caught that shot to the temple against Cotto so where was the call to face GGG?
K2 didn't even want to mention Maravilla, until the issues about his knee started to pop up
if murray can win 4 out of the first 5 rounds against golovkin, i really don't think ggg would have any chance against sergio. it was a good duck by team ggg. offering to fight martinez in argentina is the oldest trick in the book. they knew sergio would take the less lucrative fight against murray.
Murray lost every single round. Quit playing. I normally like your posts but no way did Murray win 4 of the first 5
