You can't seriously think beating Sturm don't mean sh*t. Thats idiotic. Even if he didn't get the decision, just fighting evenly with him means he is a world level MW, and if that isn't enough he did it against Martinez as well. Sturm schooled Oscar. He a bum as well?think
Mayweather Klitschko Ward Bradley Marquez Pacquiao Froch Rigondeaux Stevenson Golovkin ---------------------------- i rate golovkin but not that highly, he still has to beat Martinez and clear out 160 before he can go higher
what did Oscar do at MW to make you think he ever was one? just fighting even with sturm doesn't mean macklin is world level. like I already said, sturm never faced a top MW during his entire 'reign', so how can you rate him highly? 28-2 fighting cans 1-4 after that
Again with the spreadsheet... Ok, forget Sturm then. Look at the Martinez fight. Oscar is Oscar. He isn't automatically a nobody at MW just because he lost to BHop. Typical switch-tactics when he loses: "wasn't a MW anyway". Instead of giving due props to Sturm.
all Martinez's fights were around that time and after maybe macklin (and murray) should have chased Martinez during the Williams/pavlik heyday if they wanted to get their props
...Aaaand there we have it folks: SERGIO MARTINEZ IS OFFICIALLY A BUM:scaredas:rofl (You don't need to reply more btw, your ambulance will arrive shortly)
It's because he is obsessed with fighters that come forward or get into brawls. He's not a boxing fan, he's a UFC fan at heart I reckon, that's why he hates rigondeaux.
just had to go the 'nerd route', didn't you? matthew macklin doesn't know you and never will, so why put him on a pedestal to the point where you have to post like a baby?
What. The. F*ck. ..are you talking about? Giving a fighter due props for putting up a good effort against a top p4p guy and then MW king is going the 'nerd route' to you? I'd rather be a nerd than cool like you, then. No substitute for being correct.
not trying to be correct, brother, just calling it like I see it that's why you don't see my posts take a dive when my 'heart strings come into play' enjoy the sport - don't let your love of a fighter or his nationality blind you though :good
Nice projection, bro. I don't have any particular opinion on Macklin as a person. I'm not Irish, not even partly. There are no heart strings at play here other than with your seemingly biased reluctance in accepting the legitimacy of any GGGs opponents. :yep
