Sergio is being overhyped

[intoccabile]

Its all popularity people are loving Sergio right now,so where he is a legit 3-5 p4p the popularity is bumping him to 1-2.I will say this he deserves his ranking much more than Nonito Donaire does.

As for the 168 guys i think Froch Bute and Ward all have legit claims to p4p spots and if i had to pick one it would be Ward.


Bye the way guys nice discussion,i am enjoying myself something hard to find in nsb.

I agree with this ^. But unfortunately I think right now there are so many good fighters that the p4p list definitely does consist of a lot of fame and/or favoritism. But that's boxing for ya. I personally like Sergio at 3 or 4.. But if he is to be number 3 behind mayweather then I'd have to agree that number 2 is a worthy spot since floyd doesn't fight anymore.

My main concern after last night is that Sergio was completely gassed

He corner had to break the rules to get him a couple more seconds before he came back in the ring.

He's a a balls out type of fighter and is not afraid of the lime light.

That was the same fear I had after Williams 1, and during the middle rounds of the Pavlik fight.

I think it was him beginning to pace himself though, and take rounds off actually - because of fatigue.

While watching the fight and chatting with a buddy on yahoo, I remember telling him during round 5 - .. Actually I'll just paste it. I am "fucin_ill"

Round 5 -
fucin_ill: there it is again..
WOW
yo... MARTINEZ I LOVE YOU!
Chillpill___:OH MY GOD
fucin_ill: Dizzy really ****ed himself...
martinez was in the process of starting his 3 round breather and dizzy goes
and gets himself knocked down... early second wind coming right up.

After a scare that i thought was him resting in the seventh round.. here is my reaction to the 8th

fucin_ill: sergio woke up again.. check out the head movement
this might be it
Chillpill___: WHOA
fucin_ill: slippin punches n stuff again
ANOTHER ONE
Chillpill___: OH MY
fucin_ill: YO!!! YESSSSSSSSSS


Lol. I've gotten use to sergio taking 3 rounds off and then turning it on again.. I thought I called it in the fifth but as I said - the knockdown at the end of it gave him a bit of a boost and prolonged his rest.

If Floyd does not have a fight signed by May then i will consider him retired.Until then he stays on my list.

Sergio Martinez is OVERHYPED?!?!?

who does he have to beat the breaks off next for dudes to give him his due?....if ANY of those 168 pounders think about coming down to 160...he'll spank their ass...ANY one of them including the S6 dudes....any 147 pounder who wanna be great and tries testing out the 160 pound crown....he'll get his head boxed and knocked the hell off....the so called best 154 pounder showed you how the rest of the 54'ers would do in Sergio's house....when he knocked Paul down in their first epic war....I took notice right then....I was kinda suspect about Serg before that but when he dropped Paul after taking a eight count himself in the same round....I was like ok...dude is the truth....denial wore off and now I see dude for what he really is....a KING!!!

EXACTLY.


I wondere whats the hold up for Sergio to cal out Pirog?

Call out Pirog

[karrapato]

Sergio has a lot of potencial, and a lot of obvious fights to make.

If he beats:

- Alfredo Angulo
- Kirkland
- That guys who KTFO Jacobs(forgot the name)
- Chavez Jr.(big name...)
- Sturm

He does not need WW and SMW to be considered great.

[machotime]

he is probably p4p#1... however, he is human and he did get hit quite a bit last night.

I would like to see him avenge his loss to Margarito.

Read through the thread a bit i give him his props.as for beating the guys at 168 if he is that bad he should call out Bute but he wont from now on he will fight names only he is already calling out a shot Cotto.

What has he done to jump Pac and May?he is a legit 3-5 p4p nothing more,wipe out 160 move up and get a big win at 168 then sure i would agree.
