Maravilla's KO might KO his career!

No one was really interested to fight Maravilla before the KO of Williams so I don't think thing will be worse for him now, I think the win will give him more clout to force fighters to fight him since he's "name" enough now.

 

Sadly, you're probably correct. Sergo is sitting pretty atop the middleweight division much like Sugar Shane Mosley was when he KO'd Margarito. As with Sugar Shane - no one will want to risk fighting Martinez when there are better paying lower risk fights still out there for them.

 

probably, but maybe fights with the likes of Angulo. kirkland or Cintron perhaps?? Fighters that would have normally asked too much money or say that he's a big risk - small reward kinda fight?

 

Guys like Cotto and Margarito @ 154 will definetely take the fight if its at light middleweight. Those are likely the best paydays for Martinez right now and very winnable. A win over Margo avenges his early loss and win over Cotto further elevates his star power to the mainstream.

 

I was thinking along similar lines, but I don't think Arum would put Cotto in the ring with Martinez.

 

I think Margarito will do it for the payday and a chance to redeem himself.

 

He's already accomplished a lot, all things considered. He only wants a couple more big fights anyway.

If his career does manage to not progress any further (fizzling out with a couple of routine defenses against ho-hum challengers) he still has plenty to be proud of in walking away.

 

Agree completely. When you think about it, 3 years ago who was he? He literally toiled in anonymity that wasn't his fault and emerged as the lineal MW champion (as well as belts at 154) and will probably be 3rd on most people p4p lists.

 

I would love to see Martinez in more big fights, too.

If the price of his sensational KO win is that he'll be even more avoided than before, though - so be it. It was worth it.

 

Margarito and Williams III are probably his best shot at big paydays but neither will be available for a while. He could try calling out Julio Cesar Chavez jr. to come try for a real title. Failing that come to Europe and clean up the other middleweight titles. KO Slyvester and Strum in Germany and I'm sure he could tempt King Arthur back for a big money showdown.

 

Pac wants to fight Void, but Void does not want him.

Martinez beat Pavlik, and Williams two times! He did not allow the judges to cheat him this time though, although that was their plan.

 

Once people realize that they'll never fight Mayweather or Pac, they'll call Martinez.
