Who does Sergio Martinez fight next?

[Rantcatrat]

Hhhhmmmm.... Does Sergio deserve a gimmie fight?

It's not ideal, but I think so. He arguably has had the toughest last five fights of active fighters. Moreover, what are his options? He might as well wait to see what happens with Pirog/Lemiuex/Kirkland/Cotto before jumping up in weight. There is literally isn't anyone around that he can fight. It may be the only option for him.

Back to your suggestion, who has Lemiuex beat to deserve a Martinez fight? Let's wait to see how he does against Rubio.

I agree. He's got a string of decent KO/TKO victories agains gate keepers. I mean, even a prospect has to beat a decent string of steadily rising competition before they deserve a shot at the champ. He's almost there, though. I feel the same way about Pirog who has done less than Lemiuex except for the WBA belt. He's KOed Jacobs. That's it. Besides that he's fought no one.

I get irritated about guys like Chavez Jr. Shit or get off the pot, dude. You're 42-0. Step up and get KOed like a bitch.

The Chavez Jr. v. Zbik fight is on June 4th. Martinez could take a fight to keep active and then face the winner of that fight. Problem is the winner of that fight ain't all that good. But, a fight with Chavez Jr. is a big money fight, a PPV fight.
