Does Sergio Martinez have a shot at becoming the #1 p4p Boxer in the world?

Not saying that he should do it but the only realistic chance he has of becoming #1 P4P would be to move up to 168 Exactly. I obviously dont think he should fight Ward or Bute in his 168 debut. But a warm up fight against a gate keeper like Glen Johnson would be a great fight to see how his body reacts to the extra weight.

please people. Sergio is a little midleweight... Superwelter is his natural weight SERGIO MARTINEZ height 5´ 10" 178cm LUCIAN BUTE height 6′ 1½″ / 187cm CARL FROCH height 6′ 1″ / 185cm MIKKEL KESSLER height 6′ 1″ / 185cm ANDRE WARD height 6′ 0″ / 183cm

Why? If Mayweather and Pacquiao keep avoiding each other, eventually their stock will go down. Do you really think Marquez does anything for Manny's ranking? No. If Floyd fights someone like Canelo on May 5th it wont do a thing for his ranking either. But If Martinez starts to create his own lane @ 168 he'll start drawing attention to himself that has nothing to do with those 2. If he stays active and beats some of the top guys at Super Middleweight while Manny and Floyd fight guys like Marquez, Bradley or possibly Canelo, how could Sergio's stock in the p4p Rankings not go up? did i miss something??all 3 of these fighters are world champs and 2 of the 3 are top 10 p4p

I honestly think Martinez should already be the P4P #1 BECAUSE OF HIS ACTIVITY and the competition he has faced except for PIROG. He is a natural 154lber and if he fought ward, bute, johnson or frock. He would be giving up size and maybe speed also with Ward and Dirrell type fighters. Martinez also isnt a spring chicken so he is in a bad spot at this later stage of his career. Arum want let him fight Cotto or Chavez so what left beside fighting Pirog. Atune up at 168 MIGHT BE GREAT WITH SOMEONE LIKE Arthur Abraham just to test the water with thte size and power difference but he had a hard time with the bigger barker so he may alradey feel that a true middleweight is too big. Pac doesnt get the same criticism that anyone else gets because he hasnt fought a legit fight in the last two years while Martinez has fought at least guys coming off of victories. Floyd is too inactive and I still dont understand why he jumps back to number two after twoo year lay offs. Either hes the best or not. In my book he is the best out there but because of inactvity he should be number two behind Martinez. This is the same as Donaire getting ranked so high for absoulutely nothing while Marquez, Bradley and even Khan of late have been fighting stiffer competition.

yeah if manny keeps fightin no hopers and floyd goes on year long vacations.

As long as he keeps chasing Mayweather or Pacquiao, he won't be fighting any super middleweights.

Nope. Pacquiao or Mayweather would have to be willing to fight him, first. Why? If Mayweather and Pacquiao keep avoiding each other, eventually their stock will go down.
