Should Martinez officially move down?

[Barry Halls]

Sergio needs to GO UP, JUST LIKE manny and floyd have done/are doing. . . POUND FOR POUND'ers DO NOT challenge DOWN, they CHALLENGE UP! Sergio has given up weight advantage ONE TIME in his EntIRE CAREER. . . ONE TIME!! LOL!! Manny and Floyd have been doing it forever. . . Marquez is the first time Manny will fight somebody WHO WEIGHS THE EXACT SAME as him in a hot minute. . .

POPPA TONY DID NOT RAISE A COWARD!! Any son of Tony should be a WARRIOR willing to go up in weight to make their own path. . . .

Thats ****ing hilarious considering Mannys fighting JMM and will be fighting bradley next.

Floyd just fought career jww ortiz and will possibly fight Khan next.

Your posts, i just don't know. No idea who you are, but i guess you're trolling?

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.

Martinez should be fighting at 154. He was pushed to fight at 160 cuz nobody wanted none of him at junior middleweight. He got a great opportunity to fight for the middleweight tittle and he took it vs pavlik. He stayed at 160 for a big payday vs Chavez jr. Will that day come? i'm not certain it will.

With Pirog calling him out it wouldn't look right, but I would have opt for 154.

[Doctor_Tenma]

After looking at how small he looked the prospect of him fighting a big SMW like Bute at any weight seems like a joke.

Thought it was a joke from the getgo...

[Russian Crushin]

Because of size? He was only like an inch shorter then Barker.

He just fights bent over making him look small

such a surprise manny is for once fighting guys his own size? marquez and manny will both weigh 148 on fight night. . manny is NOT BIGGER!! bradley will have about 5-7 pounds on manny after rehydration. . .

ortiz had 15 pounds on floyd after rehydration?!

POPPA TONY DID NOT raise a coward! DADDY MARGARITO did not raise his son sergio to be a BEGGAR and mooch off others names who have WORKED THEIR WAY for ten years!!! His son (POPPA TONY's) should be giving the fan THE BEST possible fights. . . If manny has gave up 15-20 pounds for fights against Cotto, Clottey, and Margarito. . . POPPA TONY's son steroidgio maravagina can give up 15 pounds against ward/froch winner, or bute. .

to show you exactly how big maravagina is. . .have a look at this:http://www.boxingscene.com/30-day-we...ams-162--32192 176 pounds. . . me and POPPA TONY say to you THANKS!

Give me a break move down? Hes p4p top notch supposedly, so why cant he fight at 160lb, as when he is talking about fighting FLoyd or Pac he says he is prepared to move down to 154 like its some big sacrifice?

Pac has moved up untold amount of weights, fighting bigger guys. So if Sergio is good dont lower expectations of him please.

[BostonGuy]

yes he should move back down..theres nothing at 160

I disagree, Larr. The mw is starting to look good at the level of talent is growing. You got Pirog, Sturm, Quinlon, Golovkin, etc. I say Dibella takes the Martinez show over to Germany and start taking on those guys. Martinez may not be able to sell out in the U.S. against the top European mw's but in Germany I guarantee that there will be filled arenas.

Wow. How can you be a fan of boxing and hate on a good fighter like sergio martinez. This is not being a fan of boxing this is simply sweating the 2 guys that are the most popular. Theres nothing wrong with an athlete trying to make money. Looks like someone took dyckriding 101 in college.

well i guess it's the same reasoning - there are much bigger fights for manny and floyd. . . guys who bring more to the table. . . Manny and Floyd have been figthting on the world class level for a decade, maravagina - 2 years.

Manny and Floyd are their own men - THEY BRING THE MONEY - Sergio does not. . . So therefore Sergio should PROVE HIS METTLE, and BECOME HIS OWN MAN and go up in weight and beat ass at higher weights. . . LOOK HOW MANY CLASSES Floyd and manny have blown through? Sergio didn't do **** at 147 except get SONNED by Margarito. . . At 154 he DREW Cintron, and at 160 he lost to Williams once and beat Williams once and beat Pavlik. .

POPPA TONY SAYS: Son, stop being a ***** and give the people what they want. . . Poppa tony says he didn't raise his son to be no BEGGAR. . .

Since when is moving up and down in weight classes a bad thing? Even Manny and floyd have moved down a division once they went higher then they were comfortable. This is a horrible topic to be debated. Its extremely pointless. Who wouldnt want to see better fights as fans??
