Sergio Martinez: All looks, No brains.

????

Looks like Freddy Roach

Why did he NOT drop the WBC Belt at 160? He wouldve still been the ring champion at 160 anyway.

and the LINEAL Champion as well.

Arum is not going to make a Cotto/Margarito vs Martinez fight when those are his 2 back up options for Pacquiao in the fall? Willians and Martinez's team said they dont want Martinez vs Williams 2....there are no fights at 154 either way.

BS when did they say that?

Last time i checked they were open to a rematch. So source or GTFO


I thought belts didn't matter, you people always say that. He is famous now, everybody knows he is the best at 154 and 160. He is going to get the bigest fights with or without belts.

I think he wants to establish himself as a Middleweight, His hero is Carlos Monzon and Martinez says the Middleweight title means alot in Argentina and it means alot to have won it. If he can have some successful defences and beat another champion (Felix Sturm) in a unification then he would earn himself alot of recognition. People mention Cotto and Pacquiao but I dont think either of those guys would want to fight Martinez. Looking at 160, People wont duck him because he is smaller than most of them and gets hit (making him vulernable).

Martinez could become the king at 160. At 154 it was hard to get fights.

Belts don't mean **** in boxing.

Everyone knows he's the best boxer at 154 and 160.

No hes not................

He's 1-1 at 160 Pounds.

154 is wide open.

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

Mayweather said a move up to 160 vs Martinez for the WBC and Lineal titles is a possibility(BScene posted that interview themselves). So maybe Martinez is just keeping that in mind, he wants a chance at Mayweather sweepstakes if May-Pac falls through. So in a way, it wasn't such a bad move.

This makes alot of sense. I didn't look at it from that angle, but looking at it, it does make sense. Problem with that is if May/Pac does go as planned it leaves Sergio out in the cold . I mean he could easily get a fight with Strum, but Strum has been irrelevent every since ODH robbed him.

He also couldve fought at 154 and had something to make people interested in the fight. The 154 Pound WBC belt. Now its gone and he has no belt at 154.

He just pigeon holed himself at 160 where there is NO competition.

At 154 he coulve fought Cotto or Margarito. Martinez isnt a draw himself so now the 154 Pounders have no reason to fight him.

I didnt even know Martinez until he fought and defeated The Ghost. So I think belts would not have effect, and he has more popularity than ever, belt or no belt.

Burner,

Are you serious? You think Bob would put Cotto in with Sergio?

And he obviously still gets plenty props trying to fight at 154 as the RIng Champion at 160. Bad thread. Plus I'm sure Carlos Monzon being the WBC MW champ had nothing to do with it....

You don't watch much boxing do you?
