Has Sergio Martinez Ever Randomly Tested For Steroids?

Considering how wide spread they are in even low levels of sports I cant confidently say never

im not a finger pointing kind of fan on this subject

hes done nothing obvious and his body didnt transform like crazy

 

Why exactly? You don't think they have been in decline too or not declining rapidly enough or something else?

 

Really, because it seems like that's exactly what you're doing?

 

Cyclist who goes from being a journeyman with Floyd mayweather power to being a world champ with pacquiao power?

All the haters against PAC and yet he always had that left hand

Serg was raided to the gills against Paul Williams I'm certain

Williams had one of the best chins of all time
Serg must have been on epo steroids and had a metal plate in his gloves

 

Mayweather is just as likely as anyone else. His random testing doesn't include the off-season.

Everyone is using, deal with it.

 

Asking a question is one thing but looking at your posts in this thread and the fact that you created this thread at all makes it seem like you are accusing him or strongly suggesting that he was a cheat. You can do that if you want but I'm just saying from the outside it looks like you are trying to throw dirt on his name.

How is you asking this question going to better the sport or protect the health of the fighters?

I guess you would have to watch all of those early fights which I haven't and know plenty about the opposition, which I don't but here are a few things to think about.

1. Just because most people do things a certain way doesn't mean everybody has to do it that way so just because most guys have a higher KO% early in their career doesn't mean everybody has to.

2. Maybe he was purposely matched against durable fighters and/or fighters who were of a similar level to him in order for him to learn and improve in order to make up for his lack of experience. If you are inexperienced and you are matched up against tough guys and/or guys who are almost as good as you then you are not likely to knock them out.

3. As a boxer improves, it makes sense for him to be more capable of knocking people out. As his technique improves, his punching power will improve. As his ring smarts and timing improve, his ability to land those better punches will improve therefore he will land better punches and more of them.

 

Well, Martinez started boxing really late, and he was green against MArgarito in spite of being 26. Also he was severely weight drained, he looked like a skeleton in that match.
When he started fighting at a weight more suited for his body.
Had they fought at middleweight, some years later, the result would have been different.
Yes, the Williams ko is impressive, but it's more of a case of a perfect punch- he put literally everything he got in that hook, he had all his weight on it, and he landed that shot several times in their first encounter. This time he was just confident he could land it even harder.
Martinez has never been the kind of a one punch ko: he laways torn his opponent down, with his sick accuracy, reflexes, unortodox stance, fastness and high workrate.
What was impressive with him was his stamina, not his power.
And being a former cyclist certainly helped.

JCCjr was beat up by incessant jabbing and hundred of punches landed, not by sheer power punches.
Also it helped that JCC couldn't use his huge weight advantage against the way smarter and elusive Martinez.
In the clinches JC was clearly bullying him.

 

the marg fight iv seen and it looks like a very under developed sergio in there comapared to the one we seen run a muck at 154 a few years back. it should be worth mentioning here that sergio did not start boxing until he was 20 years old (former career in soccer and cycling).

also with regards to margarito who knew if he had tampered wraps for that fight or not ?

 

Boxrec you ****ing idiot

 

And how many of you watched Martinez vs Margarito?
Compare that performance vs Pavlik and its not about athleticism, its about technique.

Who knows, he might have cheated a few times, we will never know but some of these "examples" are just BS that yall are posting.
