    Why is Sergio Martinez held so highly on here?

    I aint tryin to knock the guy really but his best win is Alex Bunema...yea he shudda got the win over Cintron...but I think ppl are overrating him. Margarito knocked him out years back.

    I don't know if he'd beat em but I think Joe Greene wud give em problems...

    I think Paul Williams would decisively beat him...your thoughts?

    Do you know what Improvement is? Dude after the MArgarito lost, he have improve a lot. He have great skills and a top 5 Jab. He have decent pop, very good hand speed and movement.


    Nobody is saying he ia a ATG SWW, he is been praised because the skills he posesses, that may translate into beating almost everybody at 154!!!!!!!!

      He really transformed and improved it's like he came out of nowhere, he possess all the attributes to be a real force at 154. He should have got the KO win over Cintron he was straight up robbed.

      I like him as a fighter.

          I don't think Williams would decisevely beat him, but I agree. He's highly overrated on here for a win over a journeyman. I wasn't particularly impressed with him against Cintron either.

            He's got the skillset to beat or at least give trouble to all the other JMW's

                I think some guys get a hard on because his style is similar to that of calzaghe, which is also referred to as Gay-Fighting.

                  how is he overrated? are people talking bout inducting him into the hall of fame as of now? top 100 ATG? are people claiming he can beat a prime sugar ray leonard? i hate when people say a boxer is overrated when people start taking notice of a fighter and start giving him credit. people have to come to notice sergio martinez as a top contender & a notable force at 154lbs, does he not posses some skills to take notice of? simple as that. but suddenly people will start including him in the top contention of boxing talks here and there and he is overrated. ****** logic that brings people to that thought.

                    Martinez would toy with Joe Greene. Williams would be a solid favorite over anyone at 154 right now. I'd throw out the Margarito loss since it was so long ago and so early in his career.
