How realistic is this scenario?.. is it possible to pull off? thoughts? Doubleheader on HBO: Sergio Martinez vs. Sebastian Sylvester - IBF title fight (or a soft touch, I think Martinez deserves one after his last 5 fights) Dmitry Pirog vs. Andy Lee - WBO title fight (more exposure for Pirog in the states if he wins.) Then the winners would fight each other later on in 2011.
3 Champs all on the same card? That would be hard to make I think. Pirog would smash Lee with ease, specialiy aftert that lucky win on saturday. Sebastian Sylvester will keep fighting in Germany fighting easy fights Martinez vs Storm would be a mega fight.
yea i was thinkin out the box too. i would love to see martinez and bute meet at 165 for butes belt. they both are slick fighters who like to keep their hands down.
martinez v b hop wont ever happen neither will bute v martinez!! get reeel ppl .. martinez v sturm is a great fight!!! lets see wut happens. i dont want serg 2 fite anyone going up in weight. i didnt like his last opponent. hes good but he belongs as 154
Any possible way that B-hop can get down to 160-162 effectively? He seems to have no problem fighting anyone. If Martinez wins, it wouldn't be considered beating an old washed up fighter because Hopkins keeps defying odds. Bute wouldn't be a bad choice either. I even wouldn't mind seeing P Williams give it another shot. I don't know if he'd be as willing.
why does everyone wanna see sturm vs martinez? sturm would be in way over his head. he is slow and plodding. martinez would make easy work of him. martinez dominates any fighter with that eastern european style of fighting. they simply aren't busy enough to beat martinez. thats why i mentioned bute, because honestly i don't see much competition in the middleweight division for martinez. not guerrero, lemeiux, pirog or jacobs can beat martinez. i would like to see marinez vs kirkland when kirkland has had a few more fights including a fight at middleweight of some value
You think Kirkland can beat Martinez in a couple of fights but Lemieux can't? Really? Lemieux is pretty much a bigger, more accurate and more polished Kirkland.
Bringing Pac up to 160 is not justifiable but I would be cool with Mayflower Sergio at 160 or a catch-weight like 155.
