Why doesnt Sergio move up to 168?

[bojangles1987]

no he cant..and why would he want to??HES THE LINEAR MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMP

Very true. I think Sergio eventually will move to 168, but right now there's no reason. Let the Super Six finish, let Sergio get a couple defenses, and then we'll see where we are.

Martinez is in a position of power now.....did hopkins move up to chase fights???hell no..they all cam to him

[Pirao]

Because he's too small. You want Ward to follow into Hopkins footsteps of beating smaller guys, don't you?

[infamous larryx]

big $ at 154. Martinez has proved he's one of the best and deserves big fights.

Mayweather, pac, cotto, margarito, so on and so forth...

well they can move up to 160 if they want martinez..he shouldnt have to budge for anyone

[sigrab jr]

Is he not able to make 154? I heard he barely made the catchweight for this fight.

He weighed in 157.5. 154 and 157 are completely different. Knowing you don't have the luxury to make a mistake is tough. If he fights at 154, he can go no more, only less than 154 and that will weight drain him.

He shouldn't have to, but it is what it is. You really think any of those guys are going to be chasing him?

It's shitty politics, but that's how the ball rolls.

[Toe Injury]

champs are asked to take catchweight fights and superfights and stuff so instantly after becoming champion that we never have a clear picture of any division

id love to see him fight at 168 my current fav division or see a 168 drop down but id rather see him make defenses against up and coming 160s

of course money is always the thing so he probably ends up fighting cotto at 156 or something... zzzzz

[joelab75]

he should move up weights just to prove he can hang around with Pac and Floyd. im not really sure how good sergio is right now but if his fans consider him really good boxer i dont see any reason why not moving up weights fighting bigger guys or losing weights to make a fight with Pac or Floyd. staying in a middleweight with out big fights wouldnt make him great.

[TommyGunnŽ]

He's not big enough, he's a natural 154 fighter.

[Anti~Jalandoni]

I mean, he'd beat guys like Froch, Kesller, Abraham, etc.

I think it'd be a huuuuge P4P showdown against Andre Ward.

What do you think of him? Somewhat similar to Pac, who takes ease in moving up weights?
There is a difference between an ATG and an average fighter(great).
