    What does full-blown MW mean ?

    Martinez began at welter, moved up to junior MW and finally to MW for only his last five bouts.


    Do they ?

    Bernard Hopkins was a 'full-blown' MW, as you put it. Started out at Light heavy (175) and then moved down to 160 before finishing off at 175 again.

    When he was at 160, he was calling out welterwts (specifically, Tito and Oscar)


    As already mentioned, he has stepped up. Twice.

    If its ok for an ATG MW/LHW like BHop to call out WWs, can there be much harm in a WW/JnrMW/MW like Martinez doing the same thing ?

    this is what's gonna happen unless Martinez stops ducking him. Pirog should thank Martinez. He's getting free hype because martinez is really deathly afraid of him

    I understand why he's doing it he know he's gonna get those big paydays

    against either manny or floyd so iget that, and those young middleweights

    are to much risk and not enought reward. i would like to see him and floyd

    fight i think it would be quite competitive

    Sexio is a *****, plain and simple. Most of the world has already caught on, only a few fanboys even trying to defend his sissy antics these days.

    Sergio Martinez called out the fighter who picked up his WBC LMW belt after he vacated. He wants to fight that guy, calling himself a legitimate 8 division champion, to fight him at LMW. So there you have it - stop calling yourself an 8 division champion and people won't call your bluff. If no Floyd and Pac, Sergio is happy to face much bigger guys such as Pavlik and Barker, but as far as greatness goes, Pirog or Sturm won't make him P4P#1, Pacquiao and Floyd will. And he's happy to face both former WBC Light Middleweight champions.

    He's not 'happy' to fight anyone less than two weight divisions below him and he's made that very clear. Are you the last one to understand this?

    So after a long day at work, I go home and think to myself "hey, let's relax and check out the ESB forums". I boot up my PC, go to ESB, navigate to the forum then click on this thread because it sounded somewhat interesting and then BAM! I get hit with two grotesque avatars on the first page. What gives!?

    And no, I respectfully decline accepting any milk.

    sergio has had 4 middleweight fights... pac and floyd were brave enough to get belts at 154 pounds ......but suddenly hes picking on little guys? he destroyed paul williams and kelly pavlik...hes proven that even though hes no legit middle he can beat up legit middles...
    everyone jumps on sergio but gives sturm a pass for fighting bums for almost 10 years now defending his trinket title
