    Someone remind me how small Chavez is again?? That ****er probably weighed near 180 pounds. What was Martinez weight on fight night?

    I ain't got no issue with Martinez chasing a pay day against Floyd. But if that fight can't be made, & Martinez is still hell bent on being a legend and fighting the best, why not step up to face Ward?

    The Sergio fan boys are happy to look down, but dont want to look up.

    It's not just Ward being bigger. How do you think Martinez would look weighing 168 at a weigh in?

    sergihoe would never move to 168 or even think about a catchweight of 165 to make a fight with the SMW fighters because he's a ****** who just wants to fight midgets at 147 and blow them up to 154. You're meant to move up thru the divisions as time goes on but this ****** wants to move down and fight guys way smaller than him.

    Froch, ward, kessler, direll would **** sergihoe up. He's scared.

    Sergihoe has never ever fought a top defensive fighter. Every time he steps in the ring its with brawlers with decent chins. If he moved up to 168 there's fighters in that division who actually have a good defense and would go sergihoe hell. Look at sergihoe's resume and pick out the great defensive fighters? there none. He has his way with his opponents because they are ****/hypejobs who leave there chins out to get tagged, easy work for the ****** to beat them and he wants to fight 147 fighters because he wants more easy work. A pure boxer with good speed and good boxing skills and is aware of defense gives serighoe a big loss.

    It's ok for serighoe to call out floyd two divisions below him but he can't step up 8 pounds to fight ward. Sergihoe walks around at about 180 pounds when he's not fighting most SMW's walk around close to that weight too.

    He was 174. Also, why are 30 day weigh-ins, which do not occur publicly and are merely verified by fighters' personal doctors, suddenly more important and more indicative of fighters' sizes than official weigh-ins or even same day unofficial weigh-ins determined by a neutral third party?
