Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Announces Retirement From Boxing

[Ravens Fan]

He changed the entire championship boxing landscape....He is the reason 15 round fights ended

Okay, but what does that have to do with Ray being elected to the Hall of Fame??

[Willie_pep1]

Great Champion

[Slick_Rick]

Shame he started so late, could have been a proper great.

Really need to get round to watching his early fights to see how he developed.

Made me think of this video and the ending.

This....

Sergio had NO real KOs early on and then in 2002 he becomes a a beast?


Suspect.

So you're saying a fighter can't improve without steroids? So by that logic the new and improved Cotto must be juiced to the gills. I though you was a Cotto fans,its weird that you would accuse him of using steroids.

No. I am citing the comedy in Sergio's sudden TKO/KO ratio and the suspect nature of his peak deep into his 30s.


Again: Sergio was KING of the bum league.


If you wanna convince yourself that Sergio was more than that... That's on you.


I don't give Cotto's win over Sergio much credit. If you search back, I spoke of "levels" before they fought.


Bum League Heroes get snuffed when they stop fighting the Chavez Jr's of this world.
