Sergio Martinez.

[champion4ever]

Time and Chavez, Jr. Ruined what was left of Sergio Martinez' career. He was damn near 40 years old when he fought him; 37 years of age to be exact and was never the same after that bout.

Shortly thereafter, he won a gift decision against Martin Murray in his home country of Argentina after breaking both his left hand and tearing his right meniscus in his knee in the fight prior to that one against JCC, Jr.

He lasted a long time and did well until he was very old. Old age slows all boxers down. He also had a bad knee injury that he couldn't recover from.

Injuries......

[Zaryu]

He was a little bit avoided earlier in his career from what I remember, and he didn't make it big until he was already in his thirties. It shouldn't be a shock that he started breaking down physically and slowing down at the time that he did.

[DoktorSleepless]

He was never that good, anyway.

He spent three years fighting Eastern European goatfarmers and British back up dancers, which padded his record. The second he stepped up against Chavez he got wrecked - mind, body and soul.

You'll always be a bad mushahadeen copycat with none of the originality and cleverness. Why are you still here?

[Bjl12]

What happened to Martinez? Why did he decline so rapidly?

His knees gave out

Apparently Sergio couldn't even spar for Cotto fight...**** Roach Freddy and his match making at it again... XD
