Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Targets Mayweather vs. Canelo Winner

[MC Hammer]

I wouldn't call it a duck if Martinez fought Mayweather instead of GGG. Who wouldn't do that?

Cosign. But has anyone thought about the whole showtime/hbo thing. Don't Martinez have a contract over there

[hitking]

Why would Sergio move down to face them when he can stay as he is and face the true threat at 160 in GGG? If he doesn't face GGG after he demolishes Macklin and instead decides to cash out on Mayweather/Alvarez it's a duck, especially after Martinez promoter promising GGG a shot if he beats Macklin, which has been stated many times.

So fighting the Floyd-Canelo winner for $5M+ instead of fighting GGG for less than a mil is a duck. Not the mention if its Floyd, he would be fighting the P4P king. And if its Canelo, he would be fighting a top 5 P4P'r (if he beats Floyd.) GGG's best win will be Macklin, and he won't even be on the P4P radar.

If his manager promised GGG, and he doesn't deliver, it's a duck, sorry. After Martinez last performance his team can see he needs to cash out, and that's why they want Alvarez or Mayweather. Golovkin is a bigger threat than Alvarez or Mayweather in my opinion.

I completely agree that GGG is a bigger threat, but I also think Martinez has a better chance of beating GGG than Mayweather if that makes sense at all.

All I'm saying is, why not fight the best P4P fighter instead of GGG?

PS. I wasn't aware that his manager promised a GGG fight lol

I actually haven't thought about that, but I think you're right about Martinez having an HBO contract.

its too late, Sergio is past it, but I know that Jr will certainly take it if he beats Canelo cause he like s OLD FIGHTERS, loves to brag on whuppin little fighters, washed up fighters and OLD FIGHTERS

yeah mayweather.

Martinez is fortunate to have got that gift decision. Otherwise, he would no longer have the chance to cash out by fighting one of these smaller guys: Floyd, Cotto, Alvarez, etc

He's been calling out those guys for years.

Yes, avoiding a fighter who is in the same weight class as you, has been calling you out and has a manager saying he will make the fight happen if Golovkin wins, yeah, it's avoiding.

Canelo right now has nothing but trout on his resume, and he struggled in that fight, his record is about as unproven as GGG right now, and if/when GGG beats Macklin I'd argue it'll be better. GGG would wreck Mosley, he's shot to ****, same with Cotto or a few of the other gatekeepers.

In terms of just raw skill and talent you can see GGG is ahead of Canelo in power, stamina, footwork and punching technique. Only thing Canelo seems to be stronger at is counter punching, he got gassed vs trout after using duck and weave defense after 6 rounds, that **** ain't cool.

[twosweethooks]

Lol exactly a fighter calls out Floyd while he has a fight signed and now he is ducking them!

what kind of garbage is this ? Sergio challenge jr in the past but JR wouldn't come out of his HOLE

In the words of Paulie Malignaggi...."It's called PRIZEfighting you dummy!"

No one in their right mind would turn down a PPV fight with Mayweather or Canelo to face an internet darling that nobody really knows like Golovkin.

Now if you wanna **** on Sergio for fighting the likes of Barker, Macklin, Murray over Golovkin then that's a different story.

[LoadedWraps]

Fight GGG, then hopefully Floyd beats Martinez in his next fight, so Mara fans, well some Mara fans, because I am also a huge Mara fan, hate Floyd and think Floyd is ducking him, so hopefully we can put that to rest rather quickly.
