If he can't get a big fight soon I wouldn't mind sseeing Martinez vs Dirrell.

By the way, Williams said he wanted a 3rd fight but IMO, I don't think he really meant it. But for certain, the Williams camp didn't want a 3rd fight. The next time we see P. Williams, it will be at 154 or 147. Not 160! And someone with no real pop. Like Sergio Mora
The thing is Martinez is a 160lber obsessed with fighting a pair of WWs, neither of whom is a natural at that weight class. I like him a lot, but neither of those guys come in on fight night at anywhere near 160, so why go up to fight him there. It's like saying that Gamboa is ducking Bradley.

There's still the likes of Sturm & Pirog who fights could be made against, not to mention that there are a number of promising Middleweights coming through like Golovkin, Guerrero, Jacobs & Korobov. There's even some more LMWs if he's desperate. Or if he wants to show he's the best fighter in the world step up to 168 & take on a Bute or at least a Stieglitz. He's the name at 154-160 seeing as HBO is now behind him so I'm sure he can get some decent fights.
