    I think Sergio will get more money fighting undefeated countrymen Billi Facundo Godoy in a big local fight in Argentina that fighting Pirog, GGG or even Geale. He could fight Sturm and get a good payday in Germany.

    I'd have cotto is a bigger draw than canelo at this moment in time?

    Sergihoe wont make 150 its a bull**** offer and he will come in over weight and expect floyd to still fight him because floyd does his own promotion and if the fight was to get cancelled floyd loses out on millions he doesn't have a promoter paying for ****, he pays for it himself. He paid ortiz his $2.5 million payday out of his own pocket. You buy a drink in the venue and floyd makes money from it so sergihoe know's if he did come in over weight floyd would still have to fight him but the hoe would get a fine for it. SO now the offer is not fair.

    Sergihoe offer to fight floyd at 154 and 150 i hear both mentioned all the time the inconstancy is proof he's talking **** in my opinion. IF for argument sake sergihoe came in at 154 and fought floyd, floyd would be at a huge disadvantage because sergihoe is a massive 154 fighter who hits very hard and could probably KO some 168 fighters if he moved up. Floyd can't even make 154 he struggles he came in at 151 vs cotto so imagine sergihoe fighting floyd at 154 then rehydrating back to 170+ while floyd rehydrates and comes in at 154-156. Sergihoe has a massive advantage on floyd and he's a **** draw he brings no money to the table, why would floyd want to fight him. He's currently fighting at 160 for **** sake. Floyd i'm sure isn't paying no attention to fighters at 160 as possible opponents.

    Things is sergihoe can make 168 he might be slower and might not hit as hard but he can make the weight, right now sergihoe is squeezing himself down to 160 to fight which is why he's so fast and hits so hard.

    You have now admited that Martinez wouldn't be at 100 percent at 168
    while making no mention that he has offerd to go in at 164

    He has hardly been squeezing down come on

    Would need to check but pretty sure he has been weighing in between 157 and 159 his past few fights.

    If Martinez signs for 150 and comes in over then the only person he hurts is himself.

    If he wins it was only because he cheated.

    If he loses it is even worse because its in despite of cheating.

    Have you seen Martinez' last 4 fights? Compared to his opponent, he was small. If walking around weight means so much, then Fernaldo Vargas was a CW and Ricky Hatton, a LtHW.

    he hasn't been weighing in at 157 STFU:lol: he rehydrates past 170+ easy. Chavez jnr rehydrates around 190 bit higher bit lower so how can sergihoe fans say he can't fight 168 opponents, they probably rehydrate to the same as chavez, sergihoe has been there before and fought bigger guys. He can do it. His promoter already said he thinks he will have at fight at 168 in 2013 he said that at the start of this year so you sergihoe fans are talking out your ass, wait till he fights at 168 and you look like a dam fool. Fighters naturally gain weight they move up divisions with time because they can't maintain the same weight as they get older and older.

    :lol:

    doesn't matter. My point will be proven when sergihoe does fight at 168 just like i predicted bute would get stopped by froch, they laughed oh how they laughed:lol:

    sergihoe can offer to fight floyd at 154 or 150 like 'The Rock' says "It doesn't matter" because it wont be happening, sergihoe couldn't draw flies to **** and floyd wont fight someone whos a middleweight for little money. Just not worth the risk to reward ratio. Cotto rematch, canelo fight, bradley fight are all much better fights.
