Campeon Maravilla Martinez, the best LMW and MW on the planet - what a great story!

The guy disappeared for nine years after Margarito obliterated him. Since then he did what? He beat Bunema. He let Cintron back in the fight when he should have closed the show, and he lost to Williams. There isn't all that much to discuss.

 

Then you're doing it wrong. :yep

 

Martinez will have to KO pavlik to win no way is any non american vs american getting a decision in america after what we have seen lately.

 

Martinez is a very good fighter in many ways. I would not bet a penny against him if he were to rematch Pdub at 154. Since the Martyrosian/Ouma fought, I think young Vanes is lucky Sergio did not answer when he called. Martinez would smack the **** out of Foreman. In my opinion, Santos and Spinks are way past their peak. It's clear to me that the best man at 154 is either Martinez or Williams.

Alright Big Bone -- I gave Martinez his props.

 

I think Sergio is an above average fighter, but i don't see him as a world beater. i woul dbe shocked if Pavlik gets beat by him.

 

Consecutive fights with Cintron, Williams, Pavlik does not make him an 'under achiever' due to boxing politics. What better fights could he 'achieve'? After Cintron you can say robbed. After Williams you can't say underachiever because it was a close fight and Paul is The Ring #9 ranked p4p. Now, after the Pavlik fight we will have to see what fits best. I have some ideas, but let's wait until after they settle it in the ring.

 

I've not only watched, but also carefully studied, Sergio's fights with Margarito, Bunema, Cintron, and Williams. When I point out Sergio's flaws and mistakes, I don't just pull that stuff out of my ass. I write about things I've seen with the same eyes I used when I said Abraham's straight right was a thing of beauty. It cuts both ways. I see things I like, and I see things I don't like, and then I write about both!

 

BADDEST Jr-middlewight now IS the baddest middleweight.

 

You're right. Martinez is great.
