Comments: I don’t care to speculate as to the various technical reasons [Christy] Martin didn’t fight. What I do know is that pros honor their commitments and someone like Martin, who gets paid purses that she doesn’t earn based on merit, obviously shies away from true competition. The only forgivable excuse would be illness, which her pre-fight shenanigans showed was not the case. Somebody like that has embarrassed boxing with ducking Rijker, Salomone and now Anani or anyone else of merit long enough. If the public is smart, it will drum this boxer out of boxing of its own accord. Any card featuring her in it should be boycotted. Although I agree that titles or other accolades should be lost only in the ring, a champion, paper or otherwise, must be the best of his or her time to deserve the label. Martin has insulted the public’s intelligence once too often and must go! [edited]
