    Martinez is very enjoyable to watch and has fought everybody put in front of him. I believe he's been the betting line underdog going into all the fights you mentioned and stepped to the plate. No comparison to PBF is justified.

    No I mean robbed like he wasn't given a fair chance, a 119-110 illustrates that the fix was on, and also that someone wasn't very good at not making it obvious.

    People seem to be missing my point or just not reading the entire post, Sergio IS a good fighter even to me, he's just a bit overrated and i don't think he should be P4P, he just hasn't acomplished enough.

    bro no lol just no. Sergio Martinez IS caucasian. I'm a Brasilian American and I'm White. The Spanish Settlers and Conquistadors were white people, Sergio's Ancestry is most likely White Spaniards. Argentina Has the Highest Caucasian Population of any South American Country.

    Theres basically 3 racial genes and its Asian/African/White. there scientific names are. Caucasoid/ Negroid/Mongoloid.

    You're right 119-110 is ludacris, but at the same time 115-113 for Williams like one official judge and Lederman had it is pretty much the right score to me, the only difference is they may have given round one to Sergio and i didn't.

    Cintron beat both Sergio and Williams and had a lot taken out of him from Margarito with loaded gloves. U can watch the fight w/ Antonio and after the fight (#2) Margaritos gloves stay on.
    Sergio should have been disqualified for hitting Cintron while down and Cintron got robbed in the Williams fight. He is as good as both of them.
    Martinez has a weak right hook - if it was crisper he could be p4p.
    Williams lately has not used his distance properly and is never in the right spot to catch his opponents on the end of his punch. When he is Williams is ridiculous. If he finds that range he will KO Sergio.

    I'm with you on the P4P debate. I personally think he edged Williams, but that's not really enough to elevate a guy into the top ten.

    As far as my unofficial "always entertaining" rankings, he's way up there. Every fight I've seen him in has been fun to watch and had a little drama worth talking about the next day.

    Let me break down those wins you mentioned for PW.

    Winky - Old past it and off a long layoff.
    Margarito- A very good win over a somewhat limited fighter. But good nonetheless.
    Quintana- He beat him once and really Quintana was never anyone. His only claim to fame was beating PW.
    Sergio- Sergio got robbed. 90% of people thought so anyways.
    Cintron- el puto was actually outboxing him for 3 of those 4 rounds. He technically should have been awarded the win. Once again Pauls judges to the rescue!!

    So as you see PWs wins are really not that great and he is the results of a fighter built by the media.

    Martinez has beatned Bunzema who he was an underdog against.
    Cintron was a draw but we all know how that went.
    PW should have been a win.
    Pavlik is probably a better name than PW has beaten/faced.

    Martinez overated? I cannot agree with you on that one. He gave Williams one hell of a fight and in a lot of peoples eyes won. Than he goes and dethrones the middleweight champ convincingly. Lets not even talk about Cintron because Martinez clowned his ass and was cheated of a KO. All in all he is not overated, just highly rated as he should be.

    Basically what you are saying is Williams should get no credit for beating the overated middleweight champ of the world if that happens.

    Anyone who thinks Sergios resume is better than Williams i don't want to talk to you, Paul's resume isn't the best yet but it will get there.

    I think Williams is the one who is overrated. He's not that skillful. My money's on Martinez.
