154 is one of the sports hottest divisions. why dont sergio martinez just move down?

fight weight for martinez when he fought his last fight. 164. yep, weighed in at 158. He can make 154 without much issue. 150 is different but 154 when he is training for it, I dont see the problem.

Moving down in weight is like masturbating on an airplane, it is generally frowned upon.

Because he's too heavy. fight weight for martinez when he fought his last fight. 164.

Ricky Hatton walked around at that same weight!! So what's Sergio excuse? Ricky Hatton wasn't close to 40 years of age when he was doing it. Lets see Hatton try to take that much weight off when he's 37.

What are you talking about? What he should have done? I don't care. Is he the best at 154? Oh i have no idea. Lets see him prove it. I don't feel the hype match the performances or the resumé so far.

I don't know how you can list the 154 fighters and leave out Erislandy Lara, as well as IBF champ K9 Bundrage, and WBO champ Sergiy Dzinzuruk. Delvin Rodriguez, Carlos Molina, Alfredo Angulo shouldn't be left out either. And the prospects like Austin Trout, and that Shawn Porter guy idk what happened to him. The only reason it's a "hot" division it's cause aside from Kirk vs Alfredo, Lara vs Williams/Molina, and Delvin vs Wolak, no one has really fought eachother.

How is Kirkland overrated; because of his 1 loss without Wolfe? Besides, TS left out Vanes, Angulo and about 3 up and comers. If Mayweather is looking for the best fights, for the fans, it's at 154. 147 is done. Due to the way fans speak of him after his Angulo win. I'm far from convinced hes of the crème de la crème at 154. I actually suspect he will lose to Molina. Outside of Angulo he just hasn't done much.

and campaign at that weight? 160 is fairly weak with opposition. So many great matchups for sergio at 154. have a super six Sergio Martinez Floyd Mayweather Miguel Cotto James Kirkland Saul Alvarez Paul Williams Mayweather is not a 154lbs fighter unless he states that is his intentions. Alvarez is entirely unproven. Kirkland is mostly overrated. Williams close to done. Cotto only has a couple more fights left probably. What he should do is fight the best guys at 160. Stop holding out to fight Pac/Floyd/Cotto as it probably won't happen. But sure. If he wants a big money fight he should campaign at 154. The chance of him getting one is possibly bigger there.

I'd consider Floyd a WW jumping up to 154 for a fight or two at the most before his career is over. If Sergio can make 154 healthy, and I think he can (he usually weighs in at 157-158 now), than he should jump down if he doesn't want to clean out MW completely and move up in weight.

Sergio should fight at 154 it's where the money at get one of those belts then try to get all of them then call everybody out on their b.s.

Why George W Bush wanted to be president? Why would you ask a question you cant answer.

I believe he is moving down after this fight with Macklin I do too I think he spent too much time and effort trying to get JCC Jr. to fight him, and it's obvious that's never going to happen. After the Macklin fight he should just move down and if necessary fight Lara. Of course the issue is always going to be are the top guys going to see the value in fighting him compared to the extreme risk of them getting their face taken off?

He cant comfortably make 154 he will only go down to that weight for Pac, May and Cotto its that simple. I don't think he would be at his best at 154 either Sergio is not a small guy he has a physique more like a body builder than a boxer.

A Lara right fight would be cool, but a styles clash is very likely. Does anyone know if his fight with Hearns is still on?

He can't make 154 with out killing himself and he's not killing himself unless he gets a big money fight

He should have no problems making 154. The guy is more of a JMW than a MW. What was his weigh-in for his last fight? Like 157 or 158? His problem is he has no fanbase, he's loyal to his promoter who doesn't have the power of a Top Rank or GBP, and he's too high risk/low reward for the guys at 154.

I believe he is moving down after this fight with Macklin

This too^ Martinez walks around in the 170's so 154 is not going to be easy for him to make. Martinez will only drop the weight for a large paycheck and I can understand that. Ricky Hatton walked around at that same weight!! So what's Sergio excuse?

Ricky Hatton walked around at that same weight!! So what's Sergio excuse?

Because he can't get away with fighting euro bums at 154.
