    I don't think he should fight Chavez again. He should let Chavez move up and test the 168 pound division.

    Both of these are too ***** to fight him, and with Good reason, at 154, he would spank their Panochas Raw

    his style(relying on reflexes, speed and athleticism as opposed to technique) is never conducive for a fighter on the wrong side of thirty.

    He's old, nothing surprising here. Smart choice from him, three more fights should be more than enough. Hope he gets a big payday.

    not too sure if sergio could make 154, especially at his age.

    he may come in like dawson or dlh, beaten at the scales.

    Super Middleweight is full of dangerous opponents and zero big enough paydays to match the risk.

    if he is lacking motivation now he should retire. It will not end up well.

    Martinez feels his skills are diminishing and he is setting up and excuse before his next loss. He should retire soon.

    For me an atg is anyone who's greatnes transcends time in boxing.

    The first great mw was the nonpareil. If Martinez finishes his career as I said I reckon he surpasses the unbeatable man and secures himself atg status.

    He'll have unified the division again and made 8 defences over what, 4 years? Plus he'll have overcome a variety of styles.

    I'm happy with my statement. The initial greats are there on reputation alone as their resume can't be scrutinised to the degree we can with modern fighters.
