    Is there 10 better active boxers than Sergio Martinez?

    I know he doesn't have the resume to be considered top 10 p4p but can you name 10 better active fighters than him?

        And consider that he was ripped off against Cintron and could (should) have drawn with Williams.

        He is mature and has the skills to beat any guy in 154 and probably 160 on any given night. I can't really think of any better in those 2 divisions than him right now and it is a shame really. Before the Williams fight, the guy got no credit at all and was considered a bum. In addition, he only had 4 weeks to prepare for the Williams fight while Williams had been training for months.

        Top 10 or 12 P4P guy right now.

            I say there are

            Mayweather
            Pacquiao
            Hopkins
            Williams
            Abraham
            Ward
            Bradley
            Mosley
            Dawson
            Marquez

            Sergio isn't better than any of those guys

              Ok, I agree with that list. I think Martinez beat Williams personally but it was a close fight. The rest of the 10 I think you have a case.

                  Those lists above are fairly plausible. A who's who of elite boxers today. But yeah he's a top 15 P4P fighter in my book. Terribly underrated before the Cintron and Williams fights, and still underrated at the moment. I hope he gets Pavlik or Williams again soon- he deserves it!
