Finally got round to watching the Maravilla documentary on Netflix and was taken aback by the harsh reality of boxing politics.
With Sergio Martinez a truly great fighter being dealt the unfair hand wherever he turned, clearly there are so many more Maravilla's who are out there and being dealt a bum hand because of our (spectators) tendencies to fall prey to the traps set by major promoters and tv networks alike. Jumping on the bandwagon of he next big thing while many of us are avid hardcore fans it is still easy to fall into the trap of promotions.
That being said who would you rate as the next Sergio 'Maravilla' Martinez, an unsung talent who deserves some praise?
