Sergio Martinez overrated P4P?

Thoughts on this 15 or so months later? It's a good question, he's on a lousy 4 fight streak, for a p4per. I think none of these 4 woulda been top 50 (maybe even 100?) ranked p4p. Only 2 of them were top 10 divisionally, and not necessarily very strong contenders. Though it was slim pickings at 160

I would now say that he deserves his spot, but I think I was justified in making this thread at the time.

Thoughts on this 15 or so months later? Martinez deserves his spot. Pacman doesn't belong in the top 5.

Don't get me wrong, I like the guy and he is a very good fighter, but has he done enough to be placed at number 2 pound for pound by The Ring? Good win over a Pavlik who was on his way down, fantastic one punch KO of Williams. Nothing else outstanding I don't think. Not trying to troll or be a hater, I'd be grateful if someone could explain to me why he's rated so highly. Thanks Takes a look at the combined record of his last 6 opponents and compare dat to any otha boxer in da world. Der is no one in da entire sport that has beaten betta opposition, hands down.

The difference is that Pacquiao and Floyd have the option to fight literally anyone they want. Martinez on the other hand is pretty much limited to Pirog and I don't think he's that much better than Barker. Everyone else is either occupied with other things or don't want Martinez. The other two top middleweights, Sturm and Gale, rejected the fight. Pirog is not that much better than Darren Barker? Gtfo. Edit that.

Who the fuk cares? Its all subjective. As long as you got him in the top 6-7 its all good. I have him at 3 right now, big whup, ring has him at 2, some fools think he's overrated so they prob have him around 6. There's no demying he's a virtuoso type badass that puts on exciting fights and knocks people the eff out (more than one can say for floyd). If you legitimately rank him lower than 6-7 change sports. thats right give sergio credit

Steroidgio Martinez beat a drunk drugged out Kelly Pavlik n then beat Paul Williams who obviously sucks-- and the internet sergiosexuals have declared him P4P KING??? can you imagine the epic sh1tstorm that would befall floyd mayweather or manny pacquiao if they were fighting someone like Barker the Goat Farmer?? Last time I checked, an opponent with a record 23-0 (14 kos) and a belt, was better than fighting a guy with a record of 29-2 (22 kos) and a belt. Martinez ruins careers....Bunema, Cintron, Williams, Pavlik........it now only remains how Dzinziruk will perform in his next bout to see if his career is over too or not. :boxing:

Sergio is a good fighter but his name blew up way too much after the Williams KO Quintana beat Williams, and depending on who you ask, Sergio himself had already beaten Williams. Most recently he won (lost) to Lara Williams being massively overrated resulted in Sergio being catapulted too quickly from the periphery to taking William's p4p spot - because Williams should have never had a p4p spot in the first place. but on the other hand, should you drop sergio in the p4p ranks because williams turned out to be a hypejob? he's just kind of stayed there until someone obvious pushes him lower, and nobody has done that i agree.. paul has always been overrated.. and with his 2 good wins against williams and already souless pavlik. thats what happens.. Martinez wont reign for long.. he is overrated.. think the boxing public was just hurting for another star to focus on besides Floyd and Pac

yes a bit overrated......but he's rightfully ahead of jmm for sure...

I agree, he is a good maybe even great fighter. But he is definitely overrated. Everyone on NSB think he can easily beat Pac and Floyd, when all he has on them is size and everything that comes a long with that. Reach, power, height, etc. His best win was a "one punch" KO of Pwill. After losing to him during their first fight.

Carlos Monzon + Marvelous Marvin Hagler = Sergio Maravilla Martinez The Middleweight Champion is a legend in the making. :hail:

Ur right #2 isn't high enough,he should be #1.After all there isn't anyone in boxing with a better last 4 fights.The closest is Froch.

Overrated? No. Watch him fight. He's UNDERRATED!

Martinez's claim to fame was a Williams KO. I dont think Williams was/is overrated tho. Overrated people dont go toe to toe with the #2 P4P and give him the fight of his life. Martinez is a good fighter, but I really dont think he is the most talented/best/fastest.. People overrate and over-exaggerate fighters all the time, and I think Martinez falls in the overrated category

He is good but he got his overratedness from paul williams, its like handing out the torch. Pavlik was exposed way before Bhop, dzinzuruk and cintron was one division lower before they fought martinez. Pavlik was exposed at what weight class? It wasn't at middleweight since you like to bring up bullshhitt excuses like that.

Sergio Martinez is the Messiah. Pound for pound discussions are child’s talk, when discussing this modern day phenom.
