Thread: Martinez vs Bute ?

So what about this fight, Do you think it is an option. Personally, i would love to see Martinez fight Bute. (if he wins)

It is a possibility but I think that Showtime envision more Bute vs the top 3 emerging boxers from the Super 6. Otherwise, if something falls flat, it's a good option in the meantime.

I don't know, I think Bute is way too big. Style wise it's a very interesting fight, but I don't think Martinez belongs at 168 at all. Furthermore, if Bute gets a win against an S6 winner he will probably move up to Light heavy.

Yep. Bute is too big for him. But I'd put Martinez instantly on my p4p list if he beats Bute (Pavlik style azz whuppin).

Bute - SHO
Sergio - HBO

I mean it's possible but as mentioned SHO envisions Bute vs. Super 6 winner and I'm thinking the runner up/2nd place would even end up getting a shot at him after beating some randomly ranked fighter.

Sometimes I think we tend to forget just how big of a say the networks have on who the "star" fighter takes on.

No way Martinez is a SMW and i'm pretty sure he'd want none of Bute either.....

He made an interview and stated that he's interested. The size remains a good question though.

He's out there for the biggest fights at this point in his career. I bet he considers Bute if he loses to Williams. If he beats Williams, he has a bunch of big fights at or around his natural weight - Shane, Berto, Pavlik rematch, Mayweather/Pacquiao, Pirog.
