With GGG its sad he was dodged, Cotto didn't want to play, neither did Martinez. Sturm literally paid money not to fight him whilst he was fighting people like Koji Sato and Ronald Hearns. Geale fancied it and lost.

Pirog was up for it and fancied his chances, even dropping his wbo belt for it, then he injured his back and retired.

I could understand the burning desire of an old fighter to still compete after he has done that his entire life but then what's the point of being badly injured and be crippled for life??

Or maybe Martinez is mentioning G's name to become more relevant? Its funny because when G was younger, guys like Martinez, Quillin or Sturm were shying away for him big time.

Martinez had a lot more to lose back then.

On second thoughts he might have even more to lose now.

No, no, no.

he's a really great actor though, problem is you can't act professional boxing.


I'm sure he's a fighter at heart and
as much as he wants it to be true that he was a couple fights away from a title shot, it never would've happened, cause he simply can't box for shit.
