Has Sergio Martinez Surpassed These Fellow Fighters In Terms Of Greatness?

[Barn]

An Argentinian Middleweight Champion who calls himself Marvelous.

Whose biggest win (KO Williams) parallels that of Hagler's biggest win (KO Hearns)

I thought it meant marvel?

[fitefanSHO]

Like many words, it has multiple meanings.

One of them is Marvel, or Marvelous as it's used by Martinez.

[IronDanHamza]

Benton too, I think he is greater than Martinez.

Got to agree with this.

I think he is too.

Well he's the **** version then.

I thought you were from Brockton?

[New England]

he lacks meaningful competition at or around his weight.
not legacy building // cementing type guys

he can get paid against JR or canelo, if they ever fight him
he could REALLY get paid against mayweather or pacquiao, but they are.. well i wont get into that because you guys know it.

(goldenboy wont put canelo in the same state as martinez until he slows down. jr may get cashed out on, soon, but against a bigger name than martinez.)
or the more likely matches, margarito or cotto.
but these fights are all a stretch.
the guy is promoted by lou friggin dibella (who, for the record, is a deity in boxing in the northeast.)
maybe he can get these big fights, but he's going to have to take a tiny portion of the money


the names at 168 are also likely to head to 175 in the coming years

and he is, i believe, 37 years old!

37!!


he also doesn't take punches well.
never has
he's tough certainly, but he hasn't been fighting since he was a boy, like many top boxers. he basically started boxing as a man. a young man, but a 20 year old man none the less.


i really don't see him doing enough to get into the hall of fame so late.
he's a heck of a unique talent
i'll never forget him dropping dzindiruk
he just kept dropping him. i could tell he never saw any of those shots coming.

oh and he's a handsome devil
does that count for anything?


on a semi unrelated note, did anybody have the displeasure of seeing the recent "model shots" of victor ortiz?
i hope they paid you well for those, clown.

what the **** were his handlers/management thinking with that ****?

[JDezi4]

He didn't even surpass Jermaine Taylor, the last reigning middleweight champion

[fitefanSHO]

Well he's the **** version then.

I thought you were from Brockton?

I am, but what does that have to do w/ anything?

[Barn]

You're blaspheming! Comparing Maravilla to Marvelous

[fitefanSHO]

dnt be fkin ******

Don't be a fkin jerk.
