why does hbo pretend that Martinez has fought the best middleweights????

[highguard]

first off i do think that martinez is the best
middleweight based on skill, power,proformace etc

but why do they keep pretending he has beaten the best middleweights
and does not too fight the other top guys/"belt holders"

by the way any champion who is an hbo boy
is a "belt holder"
and their guy is always the champion

beat line
the top middleweights

pirog
strum
macklin
etc etc

not one of the top 6-7 guys in the divison
has been fought by martinez

he has beaten mainly jr. middleweights
and darren baker

who is good but the is the 3rd best middleweight
in england
behind macklin and super G

[drozzy]

I think they're referring to Pav & PDub when they claim that.

I hope Pirog moves to the US someday. I wonder how long HBO will hold a grudge against him for taking Jacobs out...

i think floyd should fight martinez.

The only other Middleweight that appears to be worth something is Pirog. And his big claim to fame is a win over Danny Jacobs.

P. Williams, Pavlik, Dzinzruk, Barker > Jacobs.

[tito44]

Macklin, Sturm, Pirog all would be tough for him. I don't think Sturm would fight him.

but at 160. Oscar and Trinidad went up for Hopkins, no catchweight, there against really a light heavyweight. Sergio is not that big either.

You can take Williams out of the list. He sux at middleweight and would lose most of the top10 to be honest.

And Dzin too. he has been all his career at light middleweight

[purephase]

Pavlik was the linear champ when Martinez fought him and Williams was top 3. I have no idea why you'd trust the "fightnews rankings" as an authoritative source, but look at what they were right after Martinez beat Pavlik: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

no negotiation part2.

floyd has to man up and accept 30%, or he is forever labeled a ducker.

[polowear28]

You seem to forget that some of those guys do not want to fight Martinez!

[Farmboxer]

Nobody wants to fight Martinez!!! Void refuses to fight Martinez also! Martinez is the best!!!
