If Martinez is too big to go down, and is looking for the big fights then why not move up and fight Bute? That guy is crying out for a decent opponent, having to make do to with B listers like Jesse Brinkley and Brian Magee as all the other top guys are tied up in the Super Six.
I'd like to see that. Instead of asking someone that's already been through 8 weight classes to move up again, he should go up himself if he wants bigger and better fights. There's plenty of great opponents for him at super middleweight, aside from Bute he could fight the Kessler/Stieglitz winner, Dirrell if he ever returns and then there's Froch and Ward too. I've probably missed someone out there.

Really I don't know why he doesn't consider it. It's a lot more realistic then asking Pacquiao to come up again.
