Assume Sergio Martinez beat Paul Williams and Kermit Cintron, is Sergio a HOFer?

1) Ray Robinson
2) Henry Armstrong
3) Sergio Martinez

That clear enough for you?

 

STFU. Let him finish his career, then we'll see.

 

Dude lost to Williams and beats Pavlik.A bit premature for HOF talk isn't it?atsch

 

Um, No..

 

he did beat them both

 

He beat all 3 in my book, Cintron & the 178lbs Pavlik convincingly and Williams in a close fight. You could add top British prospect Richard Williams (x2) and upset kid Alex Bunema, but due to boxing politics, that's all Martinez could do in the last 8 years, and that's definitely short of the HOF.

Now getting the W over Margarito and a definite win over Williams in rematches could change things, but HOF standards for me are pretty high, Maravilla needs to have a Calzaghesque mid-thirties run. I think he'd have a better chance doing that at 154.

Really like the guy but I voted for the third option. One win over a big name opponent doesn't make a HOF career. Excellent athlete though. If he had a very, very unlikely handful of crazy good wins at 35+, okay. Certainly not impossible, but so unlikely. I wonder what his plans are as far as staying around.

 

2 time world champion over 2 highly ranked fighters in both divisions....he has a very good grounding to improve off of it. a fight with sturm or/then go back to 154 for a long run might be a good way to get some credentials...loads of fighters are coming up at 154 now. good call on the calzaghesque mid 30's career.

 

Pretty much sums it up. good fighter, but 2 early 2 talk about HOF.

 

Not for that...

However, he does have a good attitude about wanting to take on big challenges so if he can keep winning some big fights he may have a chance. But with a resume that would only show quality wins against Pav, Williams, and Cintron?No.
