    Well given the circumstance of the punch with Williams blindly coming forward and his severe lack of defense, Im sure most fighters dont feel they will take the same kind of punishment.

    You mean every fighter is after Maravilla? That's really not the case. Dzinziruk had no other choice while Chavez Jr. and buddy Sulaiman - in assosation with Top Rank - quickly made Zbik full champ to avoid Martinez, Mosley and Cotto weren't interested in a 155lbs fight, Pavlik gave up his rematch clause and Williams is heading back to welterweight, so who's everyone?

    Sergei Dziniruk - Been calling out Martinez since last June
    Vanes Martiosyan
    Miguel Cotto - Your info is inaccurate the fight talks stalled due to Arum wanting full promotional control.

    Its not everybody but clearly it shows Martinez isnt exactly winning any most feared fighter awards.

    and I believe Martinez is a better fighter than Pav and presents more problems

    sergio has underrated power...he nearly decapitated kermit cintron with a straight left and left kelly pavlik looking like chavez jr after his match with odlh...also they feel that his age will catch up to him and his style of fighting ,other fighters feel that they can expose that, but come fight night they barely can catch him and his punches come from all angles...sarmiento has made him sit on his punches more lately and you can see the diff in his power punching...dude can crack regardless of his ko ratio

    plus hes trying to get paid now...vanes brings NO MONEY to the table and hes still considered a prospect, winky is shot and brings no money(maybe a few years ago when martinez was a nobody) who the hell is macklin and pirog basically brings no money...cant knock serg for wanting to cash in...hes called out manny, said he would fight miguel so now he has to settle on taking on the other serg who in my mind will be a more difficult fight then most smw can give him and hes getting paid well due to hbo but i guarantee if he wasnt getting paid a decent purse to fight dzinzi he wouldnt have fought him...dzinzi has been calling everyone out from p-dub,quintana etc to to say hes calling out sergio and acting like hes ducking him is crazy....

    to be honest cotto is my fav fighter but sergio would plaster him all night thats why top rankk aint take the fight so fast...they feel cotto needs more time at the weight cuz i think sergio would be to quick and strong for miguel...u dont see kermit the frog asking for a rematch cuz in his own words he said that when that left hand hit him it felt like a headbutt and he was literally crying after that punch
