SERGIO MARTINEZ: "Mayweather is better than Pacquiao."

[illmatickid]

I agree. Manny is a better offensive Boxer, but Floyd is more complete. But that doesn't mean that Pacquiao can't beat him, Floyd is just a better and smarter all-around boxer.

this is the most honest and unbiased view..i've heard concerning manny
this is exactly how i see it

[Heru]

Ellie Sekbach: "How does it feel to be one of the hottest boxers right now?"

Translator: "How does it feel to be the best boxer right now?"

Martinez: "I don't think I'm the best, there are other fighters who are better like Mayweather and Pacquiao"

That translator ******.

Yeah, he was terrible. The translator translated a couple questions to be borderline sexual.

Even though Seckbach is a weirdo, Sergio probably thinks he was hitting on him. I don't remember what the translator said, that Sergio said "My mom made me", but Martinez must've been like WTF.

Sergio Martinez is a great fighter and I still believe no one below 154 and now 160 is beating him. Just because he has an opinion (in which I disagree with btw) doesn't mean I dislike him or my opinion on him as a fighter has changed.

[2501]

Is Sergio essentially saying (via the amalgam of his two statements) that FMJ is the best?

not necessarily because of the context of the second question isn't clear. Ellie asked him who he had between Pacquiao and Mayweather if they ever fought and he replied Floyd because Floyd is better. But does Martinez rate him higher on the p4p list? On the ATG list? Who knows. Do cucumbers taste better pickled?

[Gutz]

Oh oh. I don't hope that Pacquiao fans will stop being a Martinez fan now .

Why would Pac fans hate Martinez for his opinion.. Its doesnt make it true..

I think Pac is better then Mayweather.. but this is my opinion..

I still think Martinez is a great fighter... even though he think Mayweather is better then Pac..

[nathanmania]

Floyd will toy you to death, and Pac will punish u from earth to purgatory.. lolz

I honestly feel Manny is a better fighter than Floyd, but Floyd is greater in certain aspect and vice versa with Manny.

Defense-Floyd
Technical-Floyd
Counterpunching Floyd
Footwork-Floyd (but Manny is closing the distance fast)
Footspeed -Manny
Handspeed-Manny
Power-Manny
Offense-Manny
Ring IQ-Floyd
Controlling Distance-Floyd
Putting combo's together-Manny
Accuracy-Manny
Effecientcy-Floyd
Stamina-Even
Corner-Manny
Adjustments-Floyd (but having Roach helps Manny alot)
Heart-Manny
Chin-????

That's just off the dome and there are other areas in which I could break down, but aren't coming to mind yet.

Floyd is better then him and its not even close. Two completely different levels of fighters. All you have to do is watch the tape.

[Seleção No. 13]

I still like Martinez.

Nobody can tell if either is better than the other until they fight.

[Devils Advocate]

Sergio is such a winner. Takes on the toughest guys. Crappy decisions? No complaints. Clean fighter. No whining about money.

And honest when asked for his opinions.


Gotta love this dude.

Agreed, he's not calling out the welterweight he asking for fights against the stiffest competition, he's the primo definition of a throwback none of this I let my promoter handle this or that, he's a real straight shooter. He wants to avenge his loss to Margarito I say go ahead he would love to beat up Pavlik again I say go ahead, he wants to badly to fight Paul Williams where on earth does Martinez really come from. Even BHOP won't say Paul Williams name. I hate that Sergio is 34 and we don't have many years with him in his prime but then again he could be... boxing definately needs more warriors like Martinez and if not the sport then definately the junior middleweight and middleweight division. He could go after Winky Wright later on down the line for another scalp
