and keep in mind...i started this thread simply cause of martinez' words towards jr...martinez made it sound like he has been fighting top level opposition, when in fact he was beating guys with good records, but that's about it......and after jr, he's going back to basically doing the same ****...so if jr was such a coward, what does that make sergio if he in fact said jr was garbage, and now that he beat him, he's going back to fighting garbage......so by sergios logic and own words, he's fought 5 garbage opponents in a row......ya'dig
daaaaannnnnnnggggg come on freddy give me a break with those names bro! Most people up to speed with the situation would laugh at that list. Cotto? No chance in hell Cotto is going near Martinez, in fact Cotto has laughed at the idea. Pirog? Dude is out with an injury, common knowledge Rubio? Hes in the same league as Murray. I dont see why someone would disparage Murray then go on to list Rubio as someone he should have fought instead. And drawing with sturm may be nothing at this point, but even that is better then anything Rubio has done in almost the last two years... his win over David is going on two years now, n hes done nothing since except lose to Jr. (badass fight) Angulo? Thats just laughable. Angulo is barely top 10 in his own weightclass (not ranked by either ESPN or Ring, borderline by WBC and borderline by most boxing heads) and has looked so **** in his comeback since Kirkland almost killed him that mentioning him while discrediting Murray as an opponent is just funny. Id tip Murray to beat Angulo at this point. I dont like to call pro fighters garbage but.... your words there apply to perro at this point. Guy ability since coming back looks sad. Kirkland - Another completely pointless name to mention bro. Kirkland isnt going to be fighting anytime soon. You realise hes wrapped up in legal issues with GBP right now? There was no way to make a fight with him possible since his lawsuits with his management n GBP, which hopefully are just now being wrapped up. Lara and Vanes - both of these guys were signed to fight eachother when Martinez was looking for an opponent. They just recently scrapped that fight after Martinez had Murray as an opponent. The ONLY guy on that list thats credible, that Martinez could fight and isnt fighting, and is avoiding at this point, is GGG. Basically you named a bunch of guys who Martinez couldnt fight, or guys like Angulo, one whos bad at the moment, meanwhile complaining of Murrays quality. Thats a poor list. But theres no way to make a good one. Because Martinez didnt have a lot of options. However there is one name not mentioned that could be brought up, and thats Canelo. I know Canelo was looking to fight Martinez and not sure if GBP ever sent an offer to Lou or what happened with that, would be interesting to know why that didnt happen and why team Martinez wasnt more vocal about getting that fight.
:good:good Truth is your moment might last longer then you think, Im not so sure Martinez beats Chavez in a rematch. Not saying he doesnt but its a daaaannnnngerous fight :yep Man you should have seen the house I was watching it at.... last round everyone was on their feet n outta their mind :rofl
Sexy Sergio beat THE middleweight champion, wasn't gifted with any belt and yes he has defended against top 10 opponents within his divison. Don't hate. Appreciate.
They are nearly all 154 Lbs fighters. How are they more legitimate than Murray? Who is a real fully fledged 160lbs'er
believe me, i know....the ****en arena felt like a ****en earthquake....probably the most hyped up crowd i've ever been around...**** was insane
martinez cries that he's too small for 160...so get yo ****** ass down to 154 then....instead of trying to be middleweight king in the divisions worst era......ever
Trying to be middleweight king? He IS middleweight king and I see nothing wrong with the 160lbs division. Martinez, Geale, Quillin, Golovkin, JJJ jnr, the Brits, Lee. Pretty stacked division if anything. How many of those guys do you thibk current Cotto or Angulo beats?
