You belittle the guy for moving BACK down but did you praise him for moving up FROM 154?
How would a guy who started at 147 and fought most of his career at 154 be too big for 154 pound guys? Wouldn't he actually be the one disadvantaged by trying to make the weight in the first place?Comment

Its seems to me that martinez wants no part of these guys who represents a threat. He feels as if beating paul and pavlik he deserves the big money fights or easier fights for million dollar paydays.Comment

I agree with what you are saying. I think 154 is his true fighting weight. I don't think he will get the 154lb. cash cows in the ring anytime soon but guys like Lara, Trout and Molina will fight him. He will probably make about the same money with them as he would with the best middleweights and they are not as dangerous.The money will be as good and he's "safer" there!! At 154 he still the bigger man and feels he carrys his power with him. His power as a middleweight is average at best! His chin at middleweight is also average at best!! Fighting the little guys is a safer endeavor with a little less risk!! As you all saw he couldn't run the entire 12 and got caught by a green kid, and was hurt! RayComment
