Martinez wants Golovkin after Cotto!

[Spicoli]

Fingers crossed that networks,management,promoters,pixies don't make Sergio forget. Cotto is no walk in the park though and it will still take a very focused Martinez to deal with him first. The weight and experience fighting at it has to favour Martinez but the guy seems to be falling to pieces and Miguel is not going to try and win on points. Could be the type of fight that makes him hang them up rather than get dismantled by Golovkin.

This ^^

I'm starting to dislike Martinez immensely. Talk about pretzel logic. So now rather then before eh? Now when I'm a fight away from packing it in verses 2 or 3 fights ago? You cant make this shit up.
From a purely boxing perspective Martinez should have fought 3G when he was at his best instead of at his worst. To then claim you need to fight him next rather the risk him getting better when he himself is in the twilight tells me he has no intention of fighting him.


I think you have to factor in Sergios slide along with Cotto's. Imo Sergio's has been more like an avalanche then a slide. Cotto's has been gradual. Gives a little credence to the phrase "growing old overnight". Sergio has looked terrible. He didn't look all that great even in his Chavez win. I think ring size is going to be a key player in this one. It remains to be seen if Cotto can take a planted shot from a guy over 170.

I don't get that. The fact that his name is in his mouth and its on some sort of table is a good thing. Martinez wasn't obligated or needing to do anything of the sort say in that window of a few years ago when Golovkin was still a question mark...still is in some regards..and planking a 1000 yr old Kassim Ouma. Now, today he is a known quantity and has had a couple breakout decent level opponents at MSG and its logical. Shit...all the power to the geezer frankly People are Hell bent on playing this up as a premeditated duck move and its fucking hysterical! Who knows what tomorrow brings in this sport but jebus Christmas man the dude still gets some respect you'd think eh.

I can't see a comparison to slides really. I mean Martinez has remained in the drivers seat. oh yeah he has rolled the truck a few times but bottom line is he has maintained a winning streak and is one fight removed from absolutley clowning the manitee that is Chavez. Cotto has been stutter stepping for a while now. Tough all time comer I have nothing but respect for but he has been on a course of reset and retry. Man has taking some -serious- poundings ffs. Here he is again with a Rodriquez tko under his belt on reset and while impressive, Delvin was there as a showcase and a doormat to THIS oppurtunity..nothing more. I'm just saying man and not railing on you brother but this dude just can't win. If he says nothing he is ducking him, if he calls him out he WILL duck him lol, if he doesn't fight off injury he is retiring, and if he beats Cotto then he will retire with an excuse. I mean f'n A ya know
