But try as he might -- DiBella has worked the phone, email and even Twitter while trying to lock down a megafight for Martinez -- the promoter hasn't gained traction in locking down a signature bout against longtime marquee names Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto.

You wonder: If Martinez (47-2-2, with 26 KOs) is as skilled as we've been led to believe and holds those other stellar traits, why hasn't he secured a fight against "Money" Mayweather or Congressman Pacquiao or Puerto Rican legend Cotto?

Because he's too good for his own good.

DiBella is a shrewd but reasonable deal-maker; the fault doesn't lie with him. No, the reason Martinez is going to fight relatively unknown Londoner Darren Barker and not someone in the top tier is because those bright lights of pugilism have comprehended that Martinez's skills are immense -- and that there exists a strong possibility he could topple them from their perches.

"I think Sergio Martinez is the most avoided man in boxing," DiBella told ESPN New York at a Wednesday news conference to tout the Oct. 1 fight, which will take place in Atlantic City, N.J., and run on HBO. "The pay-per-view fighters out there are avoiding him, and for good reason. Boxing is a strange business in that the biggest fights often don't happen. My guy will take short money to fight anyone, but if you end the gravy train, you end the gravy train."

I'm guessing you didn't perform well in school. This has nothing to do with Floyd Mayweather's undefeated record as you dispute in the title of your thread. If you need me to define the word "dispute" for I can do that. Something tells me you might need it.

It's just an article about Sergio Martinez. And the article consist of his promoter basically sucking his cock. I guess his promoter got a little tired of it, so apperantely you took over that position.

You're a tool and you are probably the guy that got together with a buddy and beat Brian Stowe into a coma. I'm guessing you have done time before and will probably be doing time in the future. It's at this point your next response to this will be along the lines of "Yeah I will be doing time for beating your behind Ktrain" basically because you're a moron and can't think of anything else to say.

So now, if you are still reading, this has probably become the longest document that you have read. It's probably killing your attention span and I'm sure the great Sergio whatever his name is, wants another blow job from you. I don't want to keep you from your duties, SO GET BACK TO IT AMIGO!!!!!

Nope, he is 42-0. Lo siento guey but it's just not true. I keep looking and everywhere says he is 42-0.

I keep looking for that loss and it's just not there.

Look, you can debate the quality of fighters Floyd has been in the ring with til the cows come home. But the fact of the matter is that he is 42-0. It's not just me saying it, it's a record of fact.

Just because you don't agree with the decision of 1 fight doesn't mean Floyd isn't undefeated. If he fights Pac-Man he might not be.

But as for right now, and I know this will be difficult for you to accept, he is undefeated. Just because the records at la casa DeHoyos doesn't agree with the rest of the free world, doesn't mean it's not true.

I really hope you aren't a teacher.
