What if Sergio Martinez were Mexican?

If he were Mexican, Top Rank would of picked him up when they had the opportunity. If it weren't TR, GBP would of picked him up. Afterall, he only had one loss that was early in his career by the time when he started to make a name for himself on HBO. Televisa and TV Azteca would of been fighting for his rights, just like Televisa has Canelo and TV Azteca has Chavez Jr. He would of been promoted as the next ODLH based on looks. Woulda, coulda, shoulda...he is from Argentina and I'm sure he is proud of it. It sucks that nationality has to matter in order for promoters to take you serious.

 

man..I prefer it like that cuz I like him and I don't like the one who get hyped for beat smaller and older fighters....it's allways better walk the way to the top..real boxing fans reconize that..

 

I respect Martinez, hell of a fighter, hell of a person. His fights though, honestly don't interest me all that much, and generally I don't find him interesting.

I would say if he were Mexican, he would have reached the level of all the other Mexican fighters. They all get taken care of financially and in the media from what I can see.

Jmm
Morales
Canelo
Martinez*
Jr
Margarito

yup...he would have fit right in with them and made even more millions. lol

 

you don't respect ****..if you would you will never put him in the same sentence as Canelo or Chavez jr..

 

It is poor that US promoters make decisions based on US-fan base or proximity to it. Martinez needs to fight a floyd, a ward, or a canelo to make the big $$$. Ward is too big I think, floyd don't have the confidence to, and canelo is oscars golden goose, so that won't happen.

 

Why because he couldn't put down an out of shape, no training camp Chavez Jr.? :|

 

His hands would be much slower but his chin would be much better.

 

look..I know that you are confused..I can see it..your nametag sait clear but I gonna explain you something..boxing is not about who KTFO who..the beating that he gave him tell me much more than a first round knock out..

Martinez looks confused, I'm not confused. :|

 

and.. he is gay ...Mexicans dont like gay boxers

 

It doesn't matter.

Charisma and star power is like one punch KO power. Either you have it or not.

He can be Mexican but if he doesn't stir any promoter's interest, they would ignore him. Look at how long Marquez toiled in the shadows of Moreles and Barrera.

 

He wouldn't have to change his name!

 

He probably would have been on Saved by the bell or something and would have never needed to box.
