Comments Thread For: Sergio's Destruction of Paul Williams Demotes Mayweather

[jameshepenstall]

I agree that Manny cannot keep taking on the big guys and Sergio is too big but Floyd is not. Floyd looks good at 154 so a catchweight fight could be a goer.

Or Mr Martinez can waste whoever until hes ready to face Lucian Bute and gets his beans (or steak, being Argentinian!). He wont bloody KO Bute with one punch thats for sure.

Sergio Martinez is P4P #1....He beat Kelly Pavlik at his own weight and just demolished PWill who demanded a catchweight.

Pac looks for every advantage when facing competition and Mayweather's on vacation.

Factually, this is very pertinent post. And, I am not just saying that because I made a similar point on the other thread

One word..... EXPOSED !!

Although, Martinez is one of the very best fighters in the world right now.

P4P, I would rate this guy higher than most of you..... and would likely be severely castigated for my actions.

All I'm gonna commit to, is this.....

Martinez is not the one calling for catch-weights, Martinez is the one knocking those guys TFO..... does anybody know what P4P means?

And, he fights more than once a year, and against better opposition.

Actually, the phrase..... " anyone, anywhere, anytime " .....

..... does not apply to Manny, nor to Floyd, and maybe no longer to my boy Marquez either.

Its the right thing to do, I mean I understand totally purist P4P theory but it has evolved and now boxing takes wins, resume, and activity in addition to theoretically how good ppl think a fighter is which is what its based around.

So based on how boxing is doing this Floyd has to get bumped down when he is not doing anything while other fighters are impressing with meaningful wins, he can't just retain his spot on the basis of an idea ppl have of what he could potentially do.

whats up with true boxing fans vs boxing fans debate....arent we watching the same sport?? or are you watching something else??

Same sport, seen through different eyes. Some see it better than others thats all

[TonkaJones]

Pac is too small & has no intention of going anywhere but back to WW which is the best thing for him. Everybody wants Pac-Mayweather at WW but I could see Floyd tempted to go for that 6th green belt at middleweight. Can't see a catchweight fight I thing Mayweather will want the belt & will make a point of saying he doesn't need a catchweight. I like Matrinez but could see Mayweather getting a 12 round UD if he boxes clever which he always does

i don't care whar this dude says. no fighter is better than floyd mayweather. manny has accomplished alot and martinez has too but mayweather wether you like him or not is a complete fighter no if,and,or buts.by the way why is mayweather on the list anyway.he's not active.

yeah a complete fighter that ducks every worthy oppenent! pffft

[sputnik]

If that is your logic then Pac fought and beat many old washed up former champions to get his credibility. On top of that; he avoided Mosley like the plague. He refuses to give the man (Marquez) a rematch after possible losing both fights or a least one!!!
He will only and I repeat ONLY fight fighters that lost and was battered in their most recent fights!
Give me a frikken break Manny is only getting his popularity and recognition from fans and media that don't really understand boxing!!!!
Sergio would knock out Pac and lose to Mayweather. Floyd is number one on my list with Sergio number 2 and Manny between 4 or 5 on the basis of his close fights with Marquez, refusal to fight live fighers to really gauge his abilities!!!!!

ah you meant Floyd?? yup he does duck live opponents

[Rolaz]

Martinez success is bad news for Hopkins.

I hope Hopkins can convice Floyd jr to come out and agreed to fight either Martinez or Pacman!

[Dan Gutierrez]

Can you consider a coward to be a pound for pound fighter? A ducker is a shame to the sport of boxing. Floyd Mayweather is clearly ducking Manny Pacquiao. He already threw in all the road blocks you can think of just to avoid a fight with Manny Pacquiao. It is very clear when Pacman said that he is willing to fight anybody as long as it is a boxer. To Floyd Mayweather, he will fight anybody who are smaller than him and should be in the retiring age.

How is Manny Pacquiao over Sergio Martinez? Manny
ain't been fighting live wires since 2008. I don't even
put Manny over Floyd because for all of Manny's fighting
he didn't beat any top fighters only TOP RANK fighters.
Atleast Floyd beat a top guy coming off a big win. My
list goes....

1.Sergio Martinez
2.Floyd Mayweather Jr
3.Manny Pacquiao

Sergio and Mayweather actually fought guys who people
thought had a chance to beat them. On top of that,
Manny never beat Floyd to be rightfully labeled as the
P4P king in the sport. The only way I can see myself
putting Manny over Floyd, is the fact that he has been
staying active more than Floyd BUT even then, Manny
didn't fight Shane, who was ranked higher than all the
rest of the fighers at WW. Sergio Martinez has been
in with the real tests.
