K, I know his win over Paul Williams was "amazing".
But lets not forget: Sergio lost the first fight. And I never thought Paul Williams was any good to begin with, and he was *never* on my top10 P4P.
Paul Williams lost to friggin C level Carlos Quintana, yeah, Paul won the rematch, but losing to a fighter like Quintana in the first place is a garbage result.
Paul Williams was always overrated, Ive been saying that for literally years.
So I'm not so impressed with Martinez' result, particularly in light that it took him 2 fights to finally beat Paul Will.
Martinez is a fighter who did not have any amateur career of note, started boxing in his 20's. And Im sorry, but the truth is Martinez has overachieved to his skill level.
I like Martinez, and Im happy he won. But saying he is top3 P4P is a joke. Guys like Wlad Klitschko have 300 Amateur fights, and has been champion for like 10 years. Martinez just comes a long, no amateur fights, and LOSES to paul will. So, lets be honest.
Lucian Bute would KO Martinez in my opinion.
Arthur Abraham would be 50/50 with Martinez in my opinion.
I'd favour Martinez over Pirog, but its close to 50/50.
So calling Martinez P4P#3 is friggin ridiculous. One win over an overrated guy doesnt get you that far.
