    Can Sergio Realistyically.........

    Hang with the 168lbers in your estimation? Part of me says he might be able to get by on technique, but the other part of me says he just doesn't have the power. There's a lot of potential fights at 168lbs for him, that I would LOVE to see. That being said, I just don't think he's built for it. Opinions?

      I think he beats Froch, exposes Bute, Dirrell would be a great fight 50/50 and Ward will be just a step too far for him.

        Really? Surprised to see all the enthusiasm. I mean, personally, I think 168lbs might be a bit much for him. I mean after all, he did start at welter. A 21lbs hike over the course of a career is a huge difference.

        I could see it being possible if he suddenly hired Alex Ariza or Victor Conte, though.

        That's what I really like about Sergio. Seems like a class act. I really can't picture him using PEDs. He might, but I seriously doubt it.

          He looks like he's having the time of his life everytime he fights i think it may be too much aswell but he's started to develop power and has one of the best jabs in the game, has a good chin infact his last two knockdowns were due to balance, and to be honest it amazes me how Froch got to where he's at he is sloppy in every department looks amatuerish and had Dirrell applied himslef more Froch would have have two losses.

          Dirrell lacks heart and struggles on the inside Martinez is an outside fighter but kinda fought in the pocket against Williams in the 2nd round and ****! will be a great fight wiht power and speed though i think Martinez's heart and experience in big fights could earn him a W.

            Absolutly not. Froch and Bute box circles around Martinez. Martinez has so many flaws its not even funny. The only reason he gets away with it is because he hasn't fought a legit 160er yet.

                LOL at Froch boxing circles round anyone not called Arthur Abraham.

                Your boy don't want to fight him and thats fair enough he's a natural 140 pounder but who else in the middleweight divison is better than Pavlik and Williams.

                  He fights anyone with speed... he loses.

                  His style isn't made for quick handed opponents as he leaves his chin so vulnerable sometimes when he intentionally leaves his guard down.

                  He'll do fine against slow sluggers like Bute or Abraham, but Froch and Dirrell would tear him to pieces.

                    I highly doubt it. Sergio is by no means a 'big' MW and he'd look like a midget at 168. At to that the level of talent at SMW, IMO, is leagues above the mediocre middleweight class.
