Is Sergio Martinez overrated?

[Brother Jay]

For me there is the act of giving the guy props and respect and the act of acting like he's some destructive beast that will roll over almost anyone that gets put in their way - two completely different things and two which get confused and mixed up quite often. The latter seems to be happening quite frequently in online forums, where people refer to Sergio as this beast fighters better avoid because it's almost a guaranteed lost for them.

The guy is good, don't get me wrong... but I don't see why he gets brought up as this guy who has a high chance of beating the top fighters out there. He's had some impressive ways of beating certain opponents but het hasn't had such an impressive career to consider him to be that great. The guy hasn't headlined his own PPV for gods sake, he hasn't fought many big names out there like the elite ones have. You earn the reputation by action, not by imagination or assumptions.

Outstanding and more importantly a very honest post.

I respect this post.
