Martinez is a hypocrite, sure. We all know that he has no interest in fighting at a higher weight yet criticizes smaller fighters for not moving up to face him. It's indeed an act of desperation that makes him look bad.
It's just a shame at there are very few names in the division that Martinez can make good money with. And perhaps the biggest money generator at 160 (Chavez Jr., who incidentally possesses the title that Martinez was stripped of) seemingly has zero interest in facing him. |

Martinez has got FOUR guys nipping at his heels at the moment in Pirog, Macklin, Lee, and Bernard. He can't say no one will fight him anymore. |

I've heard him (read him, I guess) say that he walks around at 181-182. Just before his Barker fight the quote came out on the scene...

I noticed Sergio weighed less than usual. Maybe he is trying to come down in weight for a catchweight fight. Although we saw a not so great Sergio show up Saturday.

i think lou dibella would be able to talk martinez into fighting hopkins. lou and benard hate each other and it's a way for dibella to stick to hopkins if martinez really beats hopkns.

^^ Lou would not put Sergia in a fight with Hopkins. The black man would mug him even at a drained 170 pounds. Just as Lou would not let Sergia enter the ring with Pirog who would expose him and send him to an early retirement

martinez wants a payday, thats why he is talking shit about getting down to 150 lbs, no ****ing way. He is also not big enough for the supermiddlweight division. He is a middleweight who can fight at jr. middleweight. Its just now that the fights at middlweight don't genereate enough money and the fights at supermiddleweight is not enough risk/reward. Its easy to pick on smaller fighters to get easy wins, floyd has been doing it for years.

The guy wants a payday, it's not rocket science ffs!!
He'd earn 5-10x more from a Pac/PBF fight than the likes of Hopkins. |

When Bernard and his promoter starts berating martinez day after day for ducking him at 170, then its fair game that people call on Hops to fight at cruiser as well
