Do you think Sergio Martinez is overrated, if so, why?

    Yeah thats a reasonable argument to make, he deffo looked mentally stronger against Pavlik imo.

      Williams' weight had nothing to do with Sergio dude...its the first time he's fought that high..it WAS a factor

        he's also a pure athlete which compensates for the lack of technical skills

          Maybe Williams style was a factor. And that was NOT Martinez first fight at 160.
