Martinez is overrated

[vacon04]

Been feelin' this for the last few fights of his. Everyone got swept up in the hype with the 2 Williams fights but Williams was terrible to begin with. Martinez is really predictable with everything he does. Barker's only problem is that he basically pulled a Clottey in that he didn't punch enough but when he did he broke Martinez nose.

I'd favor Pac and Floyd to beat him and I'd pick Ortiz to knock him out.

Exactly, and that's why Barker wasn't KOd earlier. He had a peek a boo defense all night long and was moving around so he wouldn't get KOd pretty soon. It's a lot harder to beat a guy like Barker who is actually bigger and has his hands up all night long.

Ortiz on the other hand is not bigger and has a worse defense than Barker. Sure, Ortiz could have more chance to KO Sergio, but then again, Sergio would also have a lot more opportunities to KO Ortiz.

Maybe, just maybe....Barker is better than people give him credit for.

Been saying this for 3 YEARS!!!

I think him against Floyd is 50/50 but I honestly can't see how Pacquiao would beat him, no way.

[gatorDelux]

he fought an akward guy and despite the the problems that barker gave him he came through in teh end like a champ

i think to say floyd and pac beat him easy is a little out there

maybe just maybe martinez is worse than people give him credit for. baker's never fought an elite fighter and barely got past a couple of c level fighters. now he's great? i don't buy that.

I know,such a bum....handed yet another undefeated fighter a KO loss..wish all hype jobs could beat BIGGER guys like that..

Yeah Darren Barker who everyone on this board ridiculed all the way up to the fight.


When Darren Barker can bust you up, you're overrated.


Ortiz would mangle Martinez. I'd bet real money on that.

[MajorKong]

There was nothing awkward about Barker. He stood in front of Sergio with a high guard and just closed distance on him. Not rocket science.

The Pavlik fight doesn't even matter to me anymore now that we know how much trouble Pavlik was having with booze. The Pavlik that beat Taylor k.o's Martinez.

Someone said Cotto would beat Martinez, I agree with them. I also think Margarito stop him again. Martinez is soft.

barker has a tough style to beat, he's undefeated for a reason I guess... but martinez still stopped him... martinez isn't overrated

soft opposition and debatable decisions.
