As he always has been. If you dont have a major country backing you, you dont get hyped, go places as fast/easy as others do. In 2010 Martinez who is 7 years older than Donaire beat an elite boxer with 12 pounds and 4 inches on him then knocked out a widely regarded P4P#3 elite boxer with 5 inches on him, thats like if Donaire had knocked out a P4P#3 elite boxer who was 5'11....oh god I dont even want to think about it hed probably be proclaimed an instant ATG. Not to mention Martinez won fighter of the year/knock out of the year, robbed twice in one fight, on the short end of the Williams fight because he was the lesser name, stripped of his hard earned titles to make a mexican fraud a champ, dudes just getting disrespected all around. Nonito should be in the P4P list and Im a big fan but Nonito stops Montiel and now some people want to bump Martinez down? I seen Montiel get beat by fucking Z Gorres. HBO listed Rafael Concepcion as a notable win for fucks sake!!! the equivalent of Alex Bunema!! Give credit where its due foos.....

Such is life. Why don't you question Floydie fans why the chicken farmer is still #2 when he's already yesterdays news. Heard of him fight recently?
Or are you afraid of the FLHomo brigade?
Jelly beans answered and asked you some question there.I thinks Sergio should be #3 Donaire # 1 and Pacman #1.
True Pwill was also rated P4P when they fought.However What weight more is Donaire Dethroned Montiel and took his 2 world title in the same fashion that Martinez destroyed Williams.
Donaire outranked Martinez before both fought Montiel and WIlliams respectively. But because of how he defeated Williams and the status of Williams as a fighter, Sergio moved up ahead to #3.
But now Donaire has done the same to an equally caliber opponent,so he deserved to jump ahead of Martinez in the rankings. It's back and forth between the two at this point. And it will depend on Martinez next fight, and Donaire's next opponent to solidify their rankings. At this point, is still shaky in regards to #3 and #4.

Outside of fighting Williams 2x (losing one, winning one), beating Pavlik and getting f****d with no vaseline by Margarito, he really doesnt have a stellar resume. I dont think that Donaire knocking out Montiel should have skyrocketed him up the p4p, but I feel the same way about Martinez; he ko'd Williams and he shot alllllllllll the way up the list. That was a bunch of bull**** to me too..
If anything, you can make a case for other fighters getting disrespected by Martinez getting thrown up in the rankings, just like youre making a case for Martinez getting disrespected by Donaire's ranking being increased..
Martinez just happens to be stuck in a crap weight divison. There are good boxers in middleweight but outside of fans, nobody can even name five of them. If he wants to be marketable, he should move up to SMW and try his luck there. There is no money or popularity to be won where he's at now.
Martinez has been gettin' disrespected by everyone. HBO screwed him over by not letting him fight Zbik, but theyre still his one ally. The WBC doesnt want him holding their straps, and every promoter is afraid to let him near their money makers. It sucks.
2 fights that Martinez didnt even win add to his stock and puts his resume infront of Donaires! LMAO at Montiel being better than Williams. Pavlik and Darchinyan are the same to me except that Pavlik had 4 inches and 12lbs on Martinez.
Like I said the 1-1 still adds to his stock. Martinez fought 4 tough fights against top boxers and never looked bad doing it. On the other hand Donaire had good little breaks after Vic against the Manuel Vargas's of the world.
so who are these fighters martinez had beaten before williams and pavlik?... you didn't answered the question... what stock are you talking about?...
montiel is the world #1 bantamweight and holds 2 major world championships before the fight with donaire... what is williams' ranking in his division before he fought martinez?...
you've heard of martinez just last year... everyone knows that donaire blitz an undefeated darchinyan back in 2007...
That "draw" with Cintron shouldn't have been a draw. The ref incorrectly called a KD by Martinez a headbutt. That one point swing is why the draw happened. No matter what anyone's opinion is, Martinez should've gotten a 10-8 round and won that Cintron fight, if it wasn't for the incompetent ref. He was robbed in that fight.
And Martinez only loss was avenged with a 2nd round KO less than a year later.
Donaire doesn't deserve to be #2 P4P, IMO. People already forget that before Sergio KO'd Williams he was on most people's top 5 P4P list. Sergio KO's him and now people try to act like he's some sort of bum. :nonono:
Its subjective so anybody can have their way :D
it was originally coined for SRR. That if fighters are the same size who would win.
Resume are great aide in determining a figters capability but p4p is totally Opinion based
Well there just has to be a #1
Every sport has a champion, A top guy an boxing needs to have one too
I beg to disagree my buddy. It's about the resume and accomplishments. There's a reason why it took a while for Pacquiao and and all of the other fighters to reach the top ten. They needed to beat top guys and other P4P guys to be included in the list. Calderon is skilled, long before losing to Segura he was not in the Top 10 P4P. But given the condition of having the same size as Hopkins, Floyd, JMM, Pacquiao (who were in the top 10 at that time) Ivan would beat them all. Ivan was included on the list when he started beating the likes of Cazares (top guy resume) and defending his belt many times (accomplishments)

Does Germans have comprehension problems?
If you read my posts. I had Martinez ahead of Donairre. ANd the point is p4p is totally subjective.
IF people wants Donairre ahead of Martinez then let them be. Its Mythical nothing is official.
You can even Put Javier Castillejo in there if you like to. but dont slam your opinion on everybody's throat.Yea I read that but it seems like your trying to seperate Martinez too wide from Donaire with a question like that, at least thats the impression I got from it. I think its pretty safe to assume that out of Mayweather and Pac, Mayweather is the more skilled boxer so does that mean you are going to put your money on Mayweather if the fight ever comes around? And dude this is argueville.com if you havent noticed of course im going to argue against things I see different on its alright to do so.
Zarco please tell this man that I'm the exception. :DOh yea dude definitely you and a few others
Any idea how many fighters drink you idiot! If that is a factor then fuck dude....just delete Hattons name from Pacquiaos resume lolz. And if you want to talk about who has Williams beaten aside from Margarito, who has Montiel beaten aside from Hozumi?
Name some of the world champion boxers who went twice into a rehabilitation program because of alcohol!
There is a big difference between addiction and plain drinking!
What? Montiel is an elite fighter, you don't know that? do you know how many times he was into world championship fights?
20 world championship fights!

p4p rankings from big name sites like these are what some (lots) people like to use when arguing about different fighters. and what i think he meant, as well as what i meant in my previous comment in this thread, is most dudes doing trashtalking are dudes who are filipino. obviously, not every donaire fan is pinoy, but the ones who like to argue and have him in their sigs usually are...not hating on pinoys or their fighters (****, my gf is filipino) im just trying to point out that donaire just got fame and is already getting blown up to be some new kind of boxing great.....
Yes he was why wont you go ahead and tweet Dan Rafel and Doug Fischer. And im sure Martinez would KO a Mayweather. :ugh:
Because i dont have twitter
And Floyd would outbox Martinez pretty easily
Sergio Martinez is the most disrespected fighter right now. He gets fcked by the judges, gets fcked by the sanctioning bodies, they take away his belts, and now by the libra por libra rankings. Martinez probably doesn't give a $hit anymore.
Wow so now your even acting like Donaire is Floyd Mayweather and Martinez is Luis Collazo lmao...gtfo. One thing I learned in my years here is that there is absolutely no arguing with you Filipinos I swear, you guys turn into extremists if it has to do with a Filipino achiever.
haha seriously man...anywhere in boxing discussions, these pinoys act so ****in stupid when it comes to discussin fighters, like if we don't agree with them that theyre fighters aren't elite they go ape****. i haven't been here for long, but i see all these people trying to downtalk martinez so they could justify why donaire was bumped up like crazy in the p4p rankings.
