If Martinez is the best fighter in the sport how about fighting Ward, Kessler, Froch,

[Rantcatrat]

Let's get back on topic. If Martinez is the best fighter in the sport as a lot of people have claimed, why not move up to fight Andre Ward or any top 168 pound fighter. Since his division sucks. Hell it was just mentioned that Cotto should move up to 160 and fight him.

So everyone from the lower weights should move up to fight Martinez, but Martinez is given a pass to not move up?

Great logic ain't it?

I hear ya General. It just kills me that the middleweight champ, one of the sport's storied divisions, has to go hunting like this for a challenge. it's crazy!

I STILL say the right thing to do is spend the next twelve months doing a 160 Bum of the Month Club. Just start knocking the Ring ranked 160's off one after another. Fight 6-8 times in the next 12 months. By then hopefully a couple of the largely unproven younguns, Saul Alvarez, Chavez Jr, Lee, Fernando Guerrero, Bursak from Germany, Martyrosian, Erislandy Lara, etc. will have separated themselves.

Of course if Williams or Pavlik or Abraham want a shot at 160 along the way that works too.

Golovkin will beat N'Jam. He'll make a good fight for Sergio down the road. Gennady also will be the mandatory for Sturm at some point (right?). Gennady should beat Sturm too. Gennady may be the goods. So, I agree bide his time at middleweight until someone emerges from the fray as a really worthy challenger.

Mick or Killer, I can't recall, put me on to this middleweight prospect Gregorz Proksa a while ago. He's supposed to be solid. And there's always, Matvey Korobov who should emerge in the future. It's odd that Matvey Korobov's career hasn't progressed faster. Is it that he struggled more with Derrick Findley than they expected? Did you know that Korobov beat Ismail Syllakh in the amateurs?
