    With Wins over Cintron,Williams and Pavlik i think he has a strong case.

    Where would you place him?

    Sergio Martinez is the undisputed middleweight champion. Of course he is top 10 P4P.

    No. More like 6 or 7. However, I would not argue that he is not top 5.

    He surely does.

    I think that everyone agrees that Pac,Floyd and Mosley are the undisputed top three after that almost every place is debatable.

    He lost to Williams. Get over it you ****ing ****. :smoke

    And yes. He belongs in the Top 10, without a doubt. Not only did he beat Pavlik, but he embarassed the much bigger man.

    Exactly, I hope he finally gets the respect he deserves, he fought like a true champion.

    top 9-11.

    He has an official Draw against Cintron, and lost to Willaims. So the thread starter is wrong on those points.

    Mosley doesn't belong in the top 10. Pacquiao and Mayweather are the only two fighters locked in at 1 and 2, one way or the other.


    Mosley's been beaten by Cotto, struggled mightily with Mayorga who gets KOed every other fight, and took 9 rounds to knock out a guy who didn't even want to be there in the past 2.5 years. How that is grounds for undisputed #3 P4P I have no ****ing idea.


    And to the OP: Martinez doesn't have a win over Williams. Maybe you thought he should've been awarded the decision, but then you have to consider:

    1. You're wrong, and
    2. Your opinion doesn't matter at all to anybody

    The loss to Williams was close. The draw against Cintron was a travesty. You should be able to see the difference.

    I dont need the judges to tell me who won those fights,the Cintron draw is an out right robbery it should've been a KO win for Sergio.

    The fight with Williams was close but myself and many others had Sergio winning that fight.

    If you're going by the official verdicts you're right its a draw and a loss but im not going by the official verdicts here.

    Martinez is entitled to be considered top 30 with a win over Pavlik and a close points loss to Williams. Top ten would require him to have a body of work that he doesn't have.
