Martinez is too small for 168 :D

Ok lets run down the MW's:

Strum- I don't see him leaving Germany, and Martinez isn't going there

Paul Williams 3- don't think i need to explain much here

Pirog- Hasn't done enough to deserve it

Sebastian Sylvester- Just lost, it aint gonna happen

So there we have it. Martinez next opponet will be either Daniel Geale or Andy Lee Maybe he can fight one of them until a bigger fight comes up.

The Sturm fight is not THAT impossible. Sturm leaves Germany if the offer is good and if not he would have no problem fighting Martinez in Germany. If Martinez isn't going there, than its his problem.

Pirog, Geale or even Hassan are all OK fights. Golovkin would be a great fight. It won't bring the money a Pacquiao fight does, but it will without a doubt bring more excitement and challange.

Don't get me wrong i would love to see a Martinez-Sturm fight. I just don't see it working out. If he were to fight Pirog, and beat him as i expect he would, people are just going to say he beat a guy who has only beat a up and comer in Daniel Jacobs. Plus Lou Dibella was very animated about saying they were not going to fight Pirog. I think his exact words were "Fuck Pirog!!" I think Andy Lee would be a entertaining fight, he's rugged and has a lot of heart. I think we both agree that he has to fight someone at 160 until the SMW's free or Manny or Pac decide to go up in weight.

martinez is getting old and knows he's lucky to have been chosen as flavour of the year by hbo. thats why he's trying to make some money before he turns into pavlik or taylor or the countless others that get courted by the big network for a year or two before they lose and are considered washed up or exposed by some new young star. (and the cycle repeats...)

he knows this and is just trying to make some money. he knows he could lose it all after his next fight. he knows that his legacy isn't going to add up to much. look how his career was ignored for so many years...he knows that he'll be forgotten as soon as he loses twice more.
