Should Martinez officially move down?

[RA-Box]

Was it just me or did Sergio look tiny in there?

Barker was his second true Middleweight fight (Pavlik being the first). He even looked short (but stacked) against Dzinziruk who was moving up.

I think now is perhaps the time to officially go after one of the 154lb champs. Probably Margarito if he beats Cotto.

Is there anything left to prove at 160?

I think after seeing him last night, 168 would be ridiculous.

yes, he should

there are more names at 154 than 160

160 is filled with a bunch of random euros

Should Martinez officially move down?

an amateur goat farmer bloodied Steroidgio's nose, which is what i've been saying all along.

you have to be able to accept constructive criticism.

Steroidgio should find a boxing gym, find a trainer who can teach him a proper boxing stance. learn proper footwork. then after that, start sparring 3x a week.

He wasn't much smaller than Barker, maybe the way he bent over constantly made him look smaller, but he was an inch and 3 pounds smaller.

154 has the money, so it would make sense for him to move down. Fans will hate it but I'd understand.

He looked like he was more than an inch shorter than Barker. Maybe it's the fact that he gets low while Barker stands straight up but even in the weigh in it looked there was a 2-3 inches difference in height.

Ah, didn't realize, and missed the tale of the tape.

I guess it's just me then. I'll have to watch the fight again.

Kirkland/Angulo winner, Cotto/Margarito winner, and Lara would all be great fights for him at 154. And if he moves down to 154 officially, it would be much easier to lure Pac and Floyd. He should definitely do it.

you guys say sergio is 3rd best pound for pound, right? well riddle me this? WHAT DO POUND FOR POUND guys do?! they GO UP IN WEIGHT! Manny constantly gives up 15+ pounds after rehydration. . . Floyd gave up 15 pounds against Ortiz. . . WHY CAN'T SERGIO!?!?! PLEEASE somebody tell me why can't sergio?!

If Sergio doesn't want to challenge himself and give us fans the best matchups - he needs to fight PIROG or take his hoe-cake ass down to 154. . .

[Leohappy]

sergio should only move down if he feels comfortable doing so. i don't want to see another guy drain himself just to enter the pac/floyd sweepstakes. it never looked great and it won't look great. i'd say he should go after cotto/lara or another 154 pounder first. that or move up.

its like saying its ridiculous to see pac at 147, but pac has dominated the TOP 5 welterweight outside of DA FRAUD...so i dont see any reason why MANOFVIAGRA cant do it...i mean, this MANOFVIAGRA wants to be the best, then challenge himself to be like a FRAUD or a PAC by moving up another weight division...IMO, IF MANOFVIAGRA martinez likes calling out guys two weight division below him, then i see no problem why he cant call out guys at either super middle or light heavy.

as for lastnites sub par performance, martinez isnt as dominate outside of his fights against the so called MOST FEARED boxer Paul Williams and dzinzurik...barker was walking down martinez all nite and you could tell that martinez wasnt comfortable almost the entire fight
