Martinez COULD be number 3, but it's a distant third and for anyone else for that matter. It's the same situation in terms of drawing power you have Pac/May and in third place is Cotto but it's a distant third. Martinez is overrated if you ask me, he had two good wins but Williams was also extrememly overrated at #3 when they fought. I said he was a KO waiting to happen and while it I was expecting it to happen I wasn't expecting it in such brutal fashion. Pavlik was an alcholic when they fought and while we didn't know it at the time it's something that has to be taken to account. As well as the fact that Pavlik in the middle rounds was taking control of that fight, then he got busted open.
As for size... Sergio says he is a small MW, but to me he is coming in much bigger than 160 on fight night. Sergio is WAY more shredded than Cotto and he has 3-4 inches on him and Cotto comes in at 155-160 max. No way Sergio is at 165, he is at 170-175. He's not much smaller than someone at 168 he's just shorter than them, but he has no chance against Ward, not the way Pavlik figured him out to an extent anyway. But even if he what he says is true that he is small for MW then 154 would be a target weight. Well... he's moved up 1 or 2 divisions Manny and Floyd 7 or 8 and you are asking them to move up where they each only had 1 fight!? The guy is delusional now, he is fine making 1-2 million a fight without risking too much. That's fine with me where can I sign up? But coming out saying he wants to fight the best... make a catchweight with Ward/Froch/Bute someone if he were to win, THEN he'd be a lone #3 P4P in my book. If he were to get more wins at SMW then he could be #1. He won't do it though so, oh well.
