Sergio Martinez is looking for an opponent

[CFH]

Winky or Mora would both be fine fights for Martinez. He deserves a bit of a gimme for his first defense. I think Mora is arguably more deserving, Winky hasn't done shit but lose for the last 3 years, but he's the bigger name. I think. Martinez beats either of them handily though, but I think a prime or close to prime Winky would give him a good fight and perhaps even beat him.

Yea the guy has fought Kermit Cintron, Paul Williams and Kelly Pavlik his last 3 fights. Before that he fought ALEX BUNEMA.



Give the guy a break with an easier opponent. Winky and Whitaker are my 2 favorite fighters of all time so I will be rooting for him. He should have been the middleweight champion and would have beat Pavlik first. Then he went to high in weight and got out-dirtied versus Hopkins in what was hardly a fair fight. B-Hop's dirtiest performance ever, it wasn't fair and he still almost won.

Sadly I don't think his legs are quite there. There were signs inr the Hopkins fight and in the about 6 minutes I've watched of Williams-Wright, he isn't the same P4P number 2/3 Winky of years past.

Mora struggled with some nobody last fight in his first fight back from being dominated by Vernon Forrest. I honestly don't put much into his win over Forrest, it isn't like he put on a masterclass he just knew how to take advantage of an old man in Forrest having a waaay off night.

I still thought that that fight was much closer then others made it out to be. Mora has nothing that presents any sort of challenge to Martinez. Winky might not either but he's way more proven at this weight and who knows maybe the quick (for Winky anyways) helps.

Do you have a link to the Mora fight? I'd be interested in seeing it.

I don't see what Winky Wright has done recently that merits a shot at Martinez. He looked ancient last time out against Williams. I've no interest in such a fight TBH.

[Spicoli]

Ive got nothing but appreciation for a always overlooked Wright but respectfully at this huge momentum point in career...Martinez should be aiming higher.At one point this would have been a great crossroads match up but Wright has literally done nothing for last 2,3 years.Hey...in his peak and prime,I think Wright handles Martinez but I honestly think thru his age,career activity and last preformance...hes done!

If they cannot make a Williams/Cintron rematch..and frankly if Cintron has not risen off the floor yet....Williams/Martinez 2 is a must!

[MMASUX]

I agree with giving Martinez a somewhat easy first title defense. I just don't see what Winky has done recently to deserve such a fight.

[Gandalf]

I'm not so sure that Martinez should have an easy defence either. He is 35 pushing 36 and really hasn't got long left. He should make the biggest 3 or 4 biggest fights he can and get out on top if he can. Fighting an old Winky who was beaten easily by Williams won't prove anything.

Well said.

Winky doesn't deserve it, could be a good fight though.

[No Contest]

Well who knows....they both lost to Paul Williams. Martinez doesnt have Paul Williams reach, may be a different fight for Winky, but I just don't see him doing enough offensively to win this...he's old/low output now. Well at least he seemd that way against Williams.

[WelshDevilRob]

Hopefully this fight doesn't happen as its hard to get excited about it. Winky seems to get wheeled out every so often abit like Zab Judah.

[TheMacMagician]

I don't see atall what fighting Winky Wright does for Martinez. Its exactly the same as what Calzaghe adding Jones or Hopkins to his resume meant. No point in this fight for me, it just gives the impression that the division is light on talent.

[The Fightfan]

Although I think this would be a candidate for most boring fight of the year. Maybe a runner-up to B-Hop and Jones Jr though,but I would be interested in this match-up. I don't think it is a clear cut win for Martinez. Winky is one of the all-time great defensive masters and he could make Martinez look very stupid at times and counter the hell out of him. Then again that would have been the Winky of five years ago. So who know's I have no idea on this one but I would like to see it.
