Why is Sergio Martinez held so highly on here?

I think he is actually overrated by a lot of people, but I still respect him as a solid contender. HBO needs to make that fight with Paul Williams happen instead of feeding each of them guys we already know they can beat.QUOTE] all sergio does is complain about not gettin a fight with the top 154 fighters so he's not duckin anyone,they just had to strip forrest for not fighting him and about a year ago he was supposed to fight daniel santos and he pulled out, so it's not sergio's fault

because the man has skills thats all there is to it ..he koed cintron ..bunema was no pushover but he made him look that way ..hed give williams probs and beat joe green imo and im from queens too

really havent seen abody nut ride Sergio Martinez but he does have the skills to be the best at 154

Martinez would beat Margarito now. I agree he loses to Williams in all probability, but he has an outside shot as he is better than Quintana at what Quintana did to Williams. He also beat Cintron really easily, three times. He KO'd him in the seventh, then Cintron's people came in the ring so he won by DQ, and then he won almost every round. Somehow that adds up to a draw. Congrats at looking at his boxrec though. I'm proud of you.

I aint tryin to knock the guy really but his best win is Alex Bunema...yea he shudda got the win over Cintron...but I think ppl are overrating him. Margarito knocked him out years back. I don't know if he'd beat em but I think Joe Greene wud give em problems... I think Paul Williams would decisively beat him...your thoughts? Martinez would toy with Joe Greene. Williams would be a solid favorite over anyone at 154 right now. I'd throw out the Margarito loss since it was so long ago and so early in his career.

he is a bit overrated. how is he overrated? are people talking bout inducting him into the hall of fame as of now? top 100 ATG? are people claiming he can beat a prime sugar ray leonard? i hate when people say a boxer is overrated when people start taking notice of a fighter and start giving him credit. people have to come to notice sergio martinez as a top contender & a notable force at 154lbs, does he not posses some skills to take notice of? simple as that. but suddenly people will start including him in the top contention of boxing talks here and there and he is overrated. stupid logic that brings people to that thought.

think sergio is a good fighter, he never started boxing until the age of 20!

I don't think Williams would decisevely beat him, but I agree. He's highly overrated on here for a win over a journeyman. I wasn't particularly impressed with him against Cintron either.

He really transformed and improved it's like he came out of nowhere, he possess all the attributes to be a real force at 154. He should have got the KO win over Cintron he was straight up robbed. I like him as a fighter.
