Martinez getting a pass for this duck job on 3G.

Thanks.

I just want fans, who collectively contribute to the paydays these fighters receive, to hold them to proper standards like they were in the past. Fans acting like it's all good to get garbage fights just so their guys can make "X amount" while simultaneously acting like they're economic experts on the matter are sickening.

In the end you're paying for little to nothing at that point.

They need to recognize that an event where Floyd fights Martinez @ 155 and other stipulations is not a legit MW win and that Martinez avoiding his MW threat is not a real champion. And standards like that need to be upheld.

If not, then they can go watch celebrities, rappers and other miscreants make plenty of money on reality TV and leave us to enjoying boxing.

 

That idiot doesn't deserve a response. He's on here admitting Mayweather takes the easiest route and predicting that Mayweather "might soon" take some risks since talent is surrounding him... and saying "all praise Mayweather".

Do you guys like fighters or celebrity like persona's? I don't see much evidence that you like real fighters.

You're more interested in reality series build ups, what someone's income level is and other out of ring things that what goes on inside the ring, which is historically the defining memorable thing.

I've never seen an era where a ducking champion gets a pass because fans are so 'in the know' about the 'business and politics' side and congratulate them on adding to their bank accounts, which is more money than you'll likely ever have as it stands, meanwhile we get bull****, garbage fights.

Back in previous era's the ducking champion was subject to intense ridicule in blatant obvious situations and there still are asterisks on certain names, such as Riddick Bowe throwing his title in the garbage.

No need to mention Mayweather, he's a complete joke. An elite fighter that doesn't fight in the elite league. History is going to rate him poorly.

He's not an ATG and Martinez is not a HOF'er. Now if he defeats GGG, then that's his legacy point into the HOF when combined with his other consistent achievements.

 

No, but he's rated as such and regarded as the MW champ and has been holding the lineal MW title. So unless he wants to vacate that and go fight on the circus event league with TMT related stuff, then he's going to be held to the standard of the MW champ and criticized for not fighting the MW best.

That's for anyone. Fans need to quit this idiocy and demand a better sport.

 

^ Just putting out the view of it. Even this forum here has a lot of people on it. 1 turns to 2, 2 turns to 4, a writer may see this... etc...

If you don't start talking about it then nothing happens. The turn to this sort of stuff we see now was a gradual thing, with the ideals of it being progressively beaten into people's heads, so the reverse of it would be a gradual response to it due to people knowing better being tired of it.

Besides, just killing time anyway.

 

Cool. :good

 

Dumb.

Brutal Ls to Pac and Margarito at WW, with good Ws at WW like Mosely, Judah and Quintana and Ls to Mayweather and Trout recently @ LMW do not = resume worthy of MW lineal title in current context.

In fact aside from Mosely, Cotto's lost all of his mega fights.

Resume @ LMW-MW for Cotto = Nothing.

3G's at least sparked some top 10-15 MWs in dominant form.
