I'd like to see Carl Froch call out Sergio Martinez. THat way, Carl would be P4P #1 when he beats him. /sarcasm
Nothing wrong with Martinez calling out Mayweather and Pac, that's where the money is and he'd be a fool not to.
he already said after the williams fight that pac is too small for him. pac on the other hand is not inclined to fight anymore beyond 147lbs after the margarito fight.
Agreed. It's all about the cash... I could possibly see Floyd at 160... Manny would tiny next to martinez.
A ***** for calling out guys from 2 weight divisions or more below himself. Martinez is no longer a WW, and he's not even a SWW anymore. Floyd isn't a big WW, and Manny is really a JWW at best. A real man, non ***** move, would be to call out Bute.
Yes it is a ***** move. The dude already said he wont go up to 168 because it is too much for him, yet he is calling out 147ers? Come on. He is just calling it out because it is easy money and easy name on his resume. WTF! BTW - great performance tonight. Just spectacular.
Exactly. Martinez has earned his stripes, and has taken tough fights and won them in an impressive manner, hence him being held in the regard he is today. These two "smaller fighters" are also not ordinary fighters nor are they extraordinarily smaller than Martinez. They would also provide money and legacy to Martinez, who begun late. Many forget that he was a one time cyclist, and before that... soccer player, if I recall correctly? To be honest, there's no real attractive legacy builders in his current weight range. He either needs to keep moving up at the quick pace he has been, face the elite smaller crop, or face mediocre competition at 160. Pirog? The "come back" version of Jermaine Taylor? Gimme a break. That said, if he is willing to take an elite 168 pounder-- and I wouldn't hold him to it or begrudge him if he didn't-- that's his prerogative. Then again, some of the haters will say that the post-Super 6 168 elite were "ruined" by a combination of having their 0s taken away, the consistent high level of competition, or something else. :tired:tired
Sergio might as well keep beating people at 160 since he said he is to small for 168. Floyd said he was interested in fighting Martinez but we know that fight ain't happening. Manny is not fighting him period.
