I am still not impressed with Sergio Martinez. Does anyone else feel the same?

    Yes, probably. But what does that matter?

    Serge put on a masterclass last night, and barring the last round, thoroughly dominated a much younger, larger man who was undefeated going into the fight. If you're not going to give him big props for that then nothing is going to change your mind, and any future wins over the above mentioned men are only going to be ignored or marginalized to maintain your erroneous opinion of the man.

    Just to address your post though, Dzinziruk had a sharp jab, Pavlik and Chavez had power. Pavlik even had a solid jab to back up that power. What exactly do Cotto and Alvarez do that's so different as to trouble Sergio?

    Felicitaciones Maravilla Martínez! Qué espectáculo nos brindaron! Cuánta adrenalina! Al no ser un fan del boxeo nunca pensé que podía vivir una pelea con tanta intensidad. Quedé sorprendido! Nba superstar Manu Ginobili-Via facebook...........Translation?

    Martinez is not worth a statue near Marvin Hagler. He's not better as a lineal MW Champion than Bernard Hopkins, James Toney or Roy Jones Jr, maybe not even better than Mike McCallum, Michael Nunn, Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank.

    If those are Martinez' biggest career shortcomings, where can he sign? :deal

    Does he have to be talked about in the same class as Hagler, Monzon, Hopkins to be a great fighter? Those three are top 25 all time...Sergio is still a ****ing badass though.

    Great fighter. Great heart (the 12th round proved it). He's made his name.

    But I don't like to watch that style of boxing. It's a little too Jorge Paez'ish for me.

    Then I read that he should fight someone like Canelo? Oh dear. Canelo fights in straight lines and his footwork is awful..

    If that was the case, about mayweather beating him, then why everytime its brought up je says "you know what a good fight will be? Andre dirrell vs martinez at 168"
    Mayweather is scared to death. He hasnt mentioned his name since he said he would fight the winner of martinez/pwill 2 after that fight he **** his pants and never spoke of martinez's name

    didn't need to read any further after this first line. Barker and Chavez jr are polar opposites style wise. If Martinez gets Cotto he will retire him
