can anyone tell me where GGG was in Sergio Martinez was the man at 160?

[A.K]

Sergio was ducking hard , strait up didn't want to fight the man he even said it.

im not sure thats good enough though, oh promotion problems

Promotional problems have hurt & slowed many fighters careers in this era. Thats why I say f#ck the Muhammad Ali Act. The promotional contracts in boxing are more sketchy today then yesterday, its merely the money thats more upfront.

Go ask Mikey Garcia, Andre Ward, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr & Sr, Felix Trinidad, Floyd Mayweather etc & so on about promotional issues. Hell nice guy Manny Pacquaio even had a lil promotional snafu with Arum at one point that led to him signing with GBP. Most of these cats just had big enough names to get out of their situation sooner & cleaner than a guy like GGG could at the time.

Golovkin was virtually unknown.

Cotto gets ****ted on for beating a one legged Martinez. GGG fans would be rejoicing if he beat a one legged Martinez

Sheep like behavior who cares what some twitter nerd said LOL after the macklin fight ggg called out Martinez and Martinez wanted no parts this is facts.

There was genuine talk of the GGG fight from 2012 onwards, some idiots even stated Martinez was ducking him (the same idiots who now hate GGG) but it just wasnt realistic. GGG was not a known commodity. I think he first fought on HBO aroudn 2012.

Martinz v Chavez was THE fight to be made. Sadly after that, Martinez had to come through surgery and had that very tentative performance against Murray and rightly deserved to win. However, everyone could tell he was no longer the same. Martinez eventually took the Cotto payday over (the now) viable GGG fight. We all know how that ended.

So, all in all, there was an absolutely tiny window when the fight could have happened but instead Cotto got in the way. If Martinez's knees had held up then we may have gotten the GGG fight after Cotto.
