Time you guys gave Sergio his...

[MTN]

Martinez is an elite boxer, no doubt. But he whines to much. He's chasing smaller guys like Pacquiao and Mayweather who barely cut weight to make 147. And he walks around at 165/170 who is an average sized middleweight.

When names like Bute and Ward come up for him to fight who is only 8lbs above he fights at he refuses, but calls out guys that are 2 divisions below? I like him as a fighter but he's been getting real annoying the last little while.

He drew Cintron and then lost to williams

His resume is NOT strong. He is simply living over his 2 wins against Pavlik and Williams. He has by far the weakest resume in the top 10

Come on bro, you're a very good poster & we both know Sergio got jobbed in both of those fights. He basically K.O'd Cintron then outboxed him just to get a draw! Even if he did lose to Williams in the first (I don't think so) he knocked him out in the most destructive & brutal fashion in the rematch.

Put yourself in his shoes, would you 'whine' in hope of a big payday?
Sergio is not a big middleweight, I know people make out he rehydrates to 180+ but he really doesn't, he's a small middleweight & no bigger than say Margarito, in fact Marg is quite a bit bigger than him!

I respect Sergio and i used to like him but the guy has been looking like ***** lately challenging smaller guys calling them names etc. He beat the guys that he was supposed to fight and now he feels like he is entitled to call out dudes way smaller than him.

Then WHY doesnt he?????

HBO aint having it no matter how much a dozen forum posters cry.

I don't see any WW's calling out middle-aged lightweights at the tail end of their career and getting fcukin spanked by them but the 1-d hypejob in your D.P....


Yh I went there.

He's calling supposedly the best 2 boxers in the world. I don't see Pirog trying to make a fight with neither of them or with any other good boxer. He's fighting in Russia with some Russian bums and his best win is against Jacobs who has done nothing in boxing, yet people say Martinez is ducking him. Also people still say that Martinez isn't small enough and that he could fight with some SMW.

Martinez started his career at 147 and now he's at 160. Only 8 lbs above? Really? 8 pounds is a lot when we're talking about boxing. Martinez max weight on fight night is about 165, while Ward or Bute are 168 on the weight in and would be 175+ on fight night so we're talking about a 10+ lbs difference at least. And no, it's not the same if he went down to fight Mayweather Jr for example since Martinez weight about 165 right now when he's fighting at the 160 division, however if he went down to 154 he would be around 160 on fight night. Let's remember that Martinez usually gets at the weight in at around 158, not even the 160 limit.

This whole Martinez is ducking Pirog meme is completely idiotic. HBO forced Dzinziruk on Martinez. He had zero other options. It was take it or leave it. As for Barker, nobody else stepped up to the plate. None of the other top contenders wanted the fight. Geale was offered a million dollars and he didn't take it. There's Pirog, but HBO isn't interested. Period.
