    Convincingly?? If he fought like he did against AA before getting KTFO then it would be convincingly. Running around like a ***** and slipping like the canvas is covered with banana peels is everything but a convincingly schooling. In his next fight he will be convincingly get his ass kicked out of the tournament. Ward by UD!!

    I'm not a hater, just can't stand people still judging the Froch fight as something that Dirrel won convincingly while it could've gone either way.

    Sergio is the only one I think could challenge FM and Pac at 147 and may beat them.

    But 168 is way too much for Sergio. 160 already looks completely ridiculous. Pavlik and williams are both 160 or 168ers who skinny themselves down in weight.

    Sergio should be campaigning at 147 and only politics keeps him away. He could be the best 147 in the world and he probably will never (until he is too old) - mostly because he is not being favored unlike other people.

    Froch would batter him.

    Martinez refused to rematch Pavlik at 164. No way in hell will he fight at 168. He's more interested in 39 year old welterweights.

    I give a slight advantage to Martinez. He might be able to overcome the size difference with his in and out style, he's very mobile. By no means would it be a schooling, it would be close and I'd love to see it happen.

    Martinez' conditioning would have to be tip top (not that he's ever not in excellent shape) if he were to face Froch. 12 rounds of constant side steping Froch's relentless pressure and awkward thrusting punches would be no easy task.

    Martinez is to small for 168. Martinez is able to eat full meals and makes 160. The guy can make 154 easy.

    Martinez is the much better fighter but Froch has the size advantage and with Martinez style it matches up well.
    Great fight if they were to make it. Would be a war. Martinez would jump in and out, busting Froch but then Froch just forces himself on Martinez and lands his shots.
    Possible FOTY.

    Martinez has said several times before 168 is TOO HIGH for him. He was Champ at 154, the only reason he is the Middle Weight Champ is cause he was Cherry PIcked by Pavlik and won.......

    I thought AA gave Dirrel a brain injury?
