    Theres a number of middles in history who would whup the living shit outta Pav in one sided fashion.

    Just to START; RJ, Hopkins (already did), and Hagler.

    Yep. I am not doubting the sheer recency of Pavlik, but he was in terminal decline by way of the confidence-sapping beating he took off Hopkins combined with the liver-sapping beating his liver took off Jim Bean.

    He was on a serious downward trend by the time Martinez met him.

    Add a prime Mike Nunn to the list of middles would have whupped Pav's ass one sidedly. James Toney, and Mike McCallum as well.

    Hell, Sumbu Kalambay would have beat Pavlik by a wide margin.

    WITH flu, sure, I imagine they would all beat Pavlik in 1 sided fashion.

    Without flu is another matter, Martinez beat a fluless Pavlik comfortably in his 2nd fight at middleweight.

    Cotto has already proven himself for years... It's not like COTTO is in his prime ducking Martinez. Cotto has reach the tail end of his career, is fighting in a division that is too big for him and is only looking for big $$$$$$ fights before retiring.

    Prime RJ could have terminal cancer, and Pavlik could have a baseball bat, and the alchy would still get KO'd.

    You're spoiling my fun, of course I don't think Serge would beat any middle in history apart from Monzon/Hagler or that Pavlik wouldn't get beaten easily by a good handful of middleweights. I'm just nausing Ike.

    Hey I dont' expect Cotto to be fighting at 160 either he is already small for 154!

    But it is pretty ridiculous how the weight was the excuse when Martinez was at 154 and even at 160. But the moment Arum proposed Cotto at 160 against Chavez all of a sudden he wants to be the first PR fighter to win a tittle in 4 divisions:l2:

    I've always liked Cotto by the way but that is just annoying. I rather he stay away from the higher weight than try to win a bullshit belt for some record against a clown like Jr.

    Please remember: SERGIO'S aka THE PUSSY BEST WIN was over Sergi D over his weight class. :l2::l2:What you nuttlickers forget is before the "epic" kayo of Paul Williams, he lost a clear decision to Mr. Williams. Williams has a REED LEVEL I.Q. in the ring. Mr. Pussy's great style needed two tries to figure out Paul Williams' straight forward attack. BTW, mARGARITO TKO 7 MR. PUSSY.

    Funny, that "Mr. Shit for Brains and cum for breath" says my view on MR. PUSSY IS EXTREME. The Hbo crew basically all said he was a disgrace last night until the end. The phrase he isn't fighting like the middleweight champ of the world was uttered at least 4 times. HBO is in marketing business and THEY are saying he is a disgrace.

    You lose all credibility when you say Williams "clearly" beat Martinez. You dont know boxing.

    Cotto has said it before he is looking for the biggest $$$$ fight. And as garbage as he is Chavez Jr. is a much bigger start than Martinez and is not even close. Cotto did say Martinez is not a known name...and is too much risk for little reward..

    When you can make 10-15 million fighting Floyd, 10 million fighting Chavez jr...why give up size, speed, weight to fight Martinez for 2-4 million.

    Martinez can STOP crying and move to 168....P4P Andre Ward is waiting for him...if not move to 154 and really try to make fight vs. Kirkland Angulo etc...

    I know you're just trolling, but you realise Serge had only been a pro for like 2 years when he lost to Plasterito right, and he first stepped into the ring a couple of years before that?

    I shat out this morning more than you will ever know about boxing. WILLIAMS won easily nearly every round. I DON'T give points for running in circles.

    Is SERGIO PUSSY the greatest runner p4p of all time. Except of course when Sergio Pussy couldn't get out of the way of Margarito's slow shots:lol::lol:

    I am playing around a bit, but I detest sERGIO PUSSY. HE should be as hated and maligned as wald pussy. I don't think he is very good in addition to hating his style. Having him as the best middleweight (and he is) just shows how shitty boxing is currently. When I was a lad, this running faggot wouldn't be anywhere near a belt. I don't even argue he is a top 5 p4per. I am not MikE either. I have long taken stands against the majority only to have people come my way yeaRs later(and giving me no credit) I know you don't agree, but you all will someday. Sergio Pussy is a disgrace.

    There are too many to count. My favorite was Winky WRIGHT OVER Shane Mosely. All of you mooks took turns insulting me only to have me shut 100 people up when the fight came to fruition. Now it seems like that wasn't much of a prediction.YET, AT THE time I was alone.

    MY prediction that Arthur ABRAHAM WAS a bum and wouldn't win the supersix was an opinion shared by 3 of us here. Meanwhile, I HAVE to read through the illiterate writings of rEED SAYING I am just a comedian, yet he thought the final would be ABRAHAM AND WARD.

    The only thing you shat out last night was the rubber that got lost in your gaping chasm of an asshole while your boyfriend had his way with you.

    Well How bout PROVING it for 1nce, Ike???...Is that Tooooo MUCH to Ask???...To Date, REED MANHANDLES you Whenever it Comes to LEGITIMATE Boxing Debate...Singlehandedly, REED has Made You BACKTRACK from your Ali-Doug Jones Opinions (Among Others), in Addition to Being a CONSTANT Reminder of the IDIOCY of a Guy Actually LIKING Byrd & Winky Wright, while Labeling the Likes of Ali & Ray Leonard "Boring", in the Next Breath...

    1nce your Hit or Miss ATTEMPTS @ Humor Dissolve, your Posts R DEVOID of ANY Merit Whatsoever, from a Boxing Perspective...

    Referencing Martinez's Loss to Margarita just Fuuuuurther ACCENTUATES what LITTLE U Actually KNOW about Boxing...That Fight was MORE than a DECADE ago, Dipshit, when Martinez was like 25 Years of Age, BARELY 5 Years Into his LIFE as a Boxer...Not to Mention the Likelihood of Margarita Using LOADED Handwraps in that Bout...

    How Bout This???...Start a Thread Asking who's MORE Boring; Chris Byrd OR Sergio Martinez???...REED is DARING you to...REED GuaranFUCKINGtee's U'll Get your Ass HANDED to U...So If/When U're Feeling Froggy, JUMP...

    I have destroyed you for years. You aren't smart enough to beat me at anything. Proof. Arthur ABRAHAM. I told you you don't know shit. I TOLD YOU HE SUCKED AFTER HE KNOCKED OUT JT. I told you he had zero chance of winning the super 6. You wrote books of your illiterate nonsense and I was right. He could do nothing at the world level outside of Germany as I said.

    Still, you will say I am all negative so I am bound to get one right. Ok, how about Winky's career. I PREDICTED his rise years in advance. Name once you have done that.

    YOU are a cheerleader. YOU ARE A DUMB PERSON. You claim to be involved in boxing yet know nothing, nothing about it other than to cheer and root for whoever's abs you want to draw pictures of. I am not a gentleman. I will prove your inferiority any time.

    Because people who can't score said it was close. Williams made that pussy run more than usual. Williams actually has a decent style. If SerGio Pussy is so good why did he need two tries to defeat WILLIAMS?

    The idea the Martinez is a puncher is ridiculous. WANT PROOF

    Chris Byrd career kayo percentage is 46.81%
    Mr. pussywho you say is a kayo artist..................................


    52.83%:atu::atu:


    There is numeric proof you know jack shit. You have a female chimp's brain. You feel. You react. You couldn't hit the broad side of a barn using reason.Sergio is a slightly better puncher than CHRIS bYRD. The only reason he is on a little streak is a lucky and overrated shot against Williams and a shitty level of comp.


    You compared a guy at with a slighter better than 50% to HEARNS AND JACKSON. I CAN BE funny and informative. YOU ARE FUNNY BUT UNINTENTIONALly, Chimp brains.

    You're the Broken Clock that's Right Twice a Day, Ike...

    When U Perpetually Scream to the Mountaintop that "EVERYBODY SUCKS", You're Bound to B Right a Time or 2...It "Only" Took 16 YEARS for you to B "Right" about Roy Jones Too, Huh???....How'd that "He'll NEVER Fight Ruiz" Prediction Work out for You???...The FACT is, REED's Prediction Record DEFECATES Upon Yours...REED Actually DOMINATED a Prediction Contest on THIS Site, Something U LACK the Temerity to Even Enter Into...

    There ISN'T a Single Facet of Boxing that you Grasp to a Higher Degree than REED Can...N Fact, REED would CONFIDENTLY Allow YOU to Pick ANY Boxing Related Topic & he'd DESTROY You in about as Much Time as it Took Martinez to Wipe his Ass w/Williams in the RE...

    I did not have a chance to see this fight until yesterday (Martinez/Macklin), but wanted to make one comment about it before it is completely forgotten.

    I have never been a fan of Andre Ward, and have even been criticized for questioning his skill level. Watching Martinez fight, no matter whether you are a fan of his style or not, exemplifies my criticism of fighters like Ward.

    Martinez is a complete fighter. He has deficiencies, yes, but there is no aspect of the game he cannot perform adeptly. He doesn't run, and in fact KO's his opponents often. He does commit to his punches, but yet he also throws fast combinations. He has a decent jab. He ducks, has great footwork, knows how to turn his opponent, knows how to block punches, move his head. He does NOT hold. He does NOT ram his head in against his opponent. He does not PUSH.

    Andre Ward has offensive skills, but is a remarkably and frankly embarrassingly INCOMPLETE fighter. Ward cannot deal with virtually any style without excessively holding, headbutting, grappling. In fact, in the modern day and age where fights like Khan/Peterson are looked at as bizarre oddities where a ref dares to penalize a fighter for holding - it has become possible to COMPLETE an imbalance of skill by purposefully holding in "strategic" ways. Purposely leaning in with your head. Purposely grappling to halt the action, stop your opponents punches, or set up your own.

    That is my criticism of fighters like Ward, and even Wlad Klitschko to a great degree. They simply are unable to defend themselves properly in a boxing ring, period. They are extraordinarily deficient and could not compete at the world level without constant holding. This sort of "technique" allows a gifted OFFENSIVE fighter to become a WINNING fighter, where historically I find it very, very unlikely they would be able to do that.

    I find this unfair to fighter like Martinez, who sheerly by skill and athletic ability (and ring smarts) can deal with just about any style without the need to hold. He evades & counters, and no matter how much pressure is put on him, he still comes out the better fighter. As much as I dislike Floyd, he also has this ability. It doesn't matter how hard or fast you come at Jr., he is a complete fighter, and integrates defense with offense such that he does not need to hold.

    Does anyone believe that if Andre Ward was not allowed to hold at all, or lead with that thick skull, that he would be able to do what he does now? Can you even imagine Ward in a fight where he actually has to keep moving and punching all night, without being able to grab on every single time he is done throwing a punch? There is no doubt in my mind he would tire, get sloppy, and get KO'd. He would be completely out of his element without the ability to control the pace and flow of the fight with holding.

    B hops and John Ruiz may well have brought this "strategy" into the modern era, but its torch is being carried on quite nicely by a good chunk of today's crop of fighters.

    Benji Estevez really has aged.

    Also what was with Martinez' cup? it went halfway up his back and was protecting about two extra inches of his front!!!
