The Sturm fight is not THAT impossible. Sturm leaves Germany if the offer is good and if not he would have no problem fighting Martinez in Germany. If Martinez isn't going there, than its his problem.Quote:

Don't get me wrong i would love to see a Martinez-Sturm fight. I just don't see it working out. If he were to fight Pirog, and beat him as i expect he would, people are just going to say he beat a guy who has only beat a up and comer in Daniel Jacobs. Plus Lou Dibella was very animated about saying they were not going to fight Pirog. I think his exact words were "Fuck Pirog!!" I think Andy Lee would be a entertaining fight, he's rugged and has a lot of heart. I think we both agree that he has to fight someone at 160 until the SMW's free or Manny or Pac decide to go up in weight.Quote:

martinez is getting old and knows he's lucky to have been chosen as flavour of the year by hbo. thats why he's trying to make some money before he turns into pavlik or taylor or the countless others that get courted by the big network for a year or two before they lose and are considered washed up or exposed by some new young star. (and the cycle repeats...)
he knows this and is just trying to make some money. he knows he could lose it all after his next fight. he knows that his legacy isn't going to add up to much. look how his career was ignored for so many years...he knows that he'll be forgotten as soon as he loses twice more.

He is a tiny Welterweight.
Its not crazy to ask for a Pac-Martinez bout (I want it). But if Team Pac dont like it then its fine. They are separated by 2 divisions anyway.
Martinez should clean 160 the way Hopkins did it. They are the same age when Hop did it fighting the Monde Hakkar's of the 160's.

he's ALREADY THE LINEAL CHAMP, already whooped Pavlik and know that Sturm wont get anywhere close to him, so 160 is pretty much cleaned out aside from maybe Pirog, and from what i saw in his last fight IMO Dzinziruk was a tougher opponent than Pirog would be :-XQuote:
