I don't think there is much chance of Martinez fighting GGG. By the time Martinez could be ready GGG will most likely have cleaned out the division with the exception of Quinllen and the ridiculous Top Rank/Golden Boy feud.
Not to mention that I dont think Martinez has any prayer at this point. GGG will hunt him down and break him down. Sergio was a great champion but he has slipped, might have lost his last fight if he wasn't fighting at home and probably isnt gonna get any better. I can see one tomato can fight for him and then a rematch with JCC and ride off into retirement.
HBO doesn't want GGG and Ward until they have milked every drop from the 160 and probably 154 pound division. Neither can headline a huge PPV yet and Ward doesn't have much to gain by fighting him now. Plus if GGG were to move up and beat Ward there is no decent 160 pounder that will mess with him and we all know the 168 division is bare.
