Seriously what does Maravilla need to have to be a draw?!?

[El Angel]

The only big name fighter he has fought and beat is Kelly Pavlik. Paul Williams is a good fighter, but no casual fan knows who he is. He needs to beat another big name, but Arum is unwilling to give him Chavez Jr. for that purpose.

[Sheppirino]

Well if he's not going to sign with Arum or DLH about the only thing he can do is keep winning.

[The_Golden_Goy]

-He has the looks
-Has the style
-He is friendly

The only thing I see is that he is not Mexican, American, or Puerto Rican
And for this reason no TV show or Bic company picks him up....


ITS A DAMN SHAME!!!


What you guys think?

Pacquiao isnt Mexican, American or Puerto Rican, neither is Wladimir Klitschko, or Amir Khan

The fact is Martinez needs to have some better fights. You cant knock PWill out, beat a faded Pavlik and an average Dzindziruk and claim to be the best fighter on the planet.

He needs some big name brawls with a Cotto or Chavez Jr or PWill III, even Margarito ffs. Failing that going up to 168lb and get a fight.

At his age, the clock is ticking and he needs to get a good run of wins sorted sooner rather than later, or it'll never happen

One thing you guys didn't mention is
He needs to learn and speak english.

Cotto and Pac both learned and both make a sincere effort to speak it. I applaud them for that too, they did it because they are serious about their careers and gaining crossover appeal.

Their stocks have both risen after they started this. Sergio's would too.

Exactly. It's really hard to be a star in America when only 20% of the population can understand what you're saying. The only exception would be Fedor in current times.

Other than that, just continue fighting the best and the publicity will come. Pacquiao and Cotto became superstars not just because they started speaking English but because they continuously engaged in fan friendly fights both in terms of level of competition and in the ring excitement.

If Sergio keeps dismantling the Williams' and Dzinziruk's of boxing he will gain notoriety.

He's 36 and will be done in a year or two. How do you build on that?

this^^^^^^^^ is genius and also true

[The_Golden_Goy]

my point exactly. He needs massive fights (if available) and he needs them now. If he hasnt had one in the next 18 months, then its never going to happen, no matter how many Dzindziruks you beat

[mushahadeen]

to start with, "maravagina" could stop fighting goat farmers, eurobums, and japanese fishermen.

then steroidgio martinez could stop riding bicycles and taking PEDs w/ his hero lance armstrong and fight JCC Jr.

take the test steroidgio TAKE THE TEST!!!
