Former WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez has to settle for facing unbeaten Darren Barker (23-0, 14 KO’s) in his next fight on October 1st after the guys that Martinez wanted to fight showed no interest whatsoever in fighting him. Two fighters in particular that Martinez wanted – Miguel Cotto and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. – failed to accept Martinez’s challenge. This hasn’t exactly pleased Martinez, who had these words to say about Cotto in an article by Dan Rafael at ESPN: “One thing you can’t take away from Barker is he has the courage to face the best. He has the courage to face the best more than Cotto or Chavez. He has more courage than them. I am fighting an undefeated fighter. As I have always said, I am ready for anyone. Nobody else took a step forward to make this fight, but Barker did. I am very disappointed in Cotto. He has no balls to face me.” Read more: http://www.boxingnews24.com/2011/06/sergio-martinez-cotto-has-no-balls/#more-69767
