Sergio Martinez on Miguel Cotto

[GAME]

Sergio is telling it like it is.

However, he'd better worry about defending his belt tomorrow night, and not overlook his opponent, Barker.

He's not saying anything, like it is! What he's doing is trying to bait Cotto and/or Margarito, who ever wins. He says other (smaller) boxers don't want to fight him because the don't want the risk. What a hypocrite! The truth is he himself is looking for the least amount of risk for the biggest payday.

I wouldnt say Floyd, Pac and Cotto can are least risk. Martinez wants them for obvious reasons.

Marg is the only guy who might possibly have the courage to take the fight but even if he beats Cotto I think he will be in a good cherry picking position so he isnt likley to pick the hardest opponent for the least money which is what Sergio would be.

I don't believe he actually believes what he's saying. Calling out and insulting fighters that would make for attractive paydays is as old as boxing itself. This is all Sergio is doing. He may have trouble getting fights however, as he's one of the best middleweights out there. I believe he has more than an even chance of beating anyone out there, including Mayweather. Pacquiao, not so much, but anything is possible.

I don't even believe that Mayweather is afraid of Pacquiao, at least not in terms of getting beat up. For fuck's sake, these guys are fighters. It's all about the $$$. It's too much about the $$$ IMHO.
