What about Joe Louis chasing Max Schemelling to get his revenge when Joe was champion or Joe Frasier trying to get the fight on with Muhammad Ali in 1971.
Terry Norris trying to get a pay day against Oscar Dela Hoya.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I think I've had fruitless arguments with you before, and I'm surprised I've allowed myself to argue with you again.
First of all, I never said fighting is just about "glory" or any bullshit like that. Of course it's about money. But how you handle your career says a lot about you as a fighter and how fans will perceive you. And you're a bigger fucking fool than I'll ever be if you think it's only about the money. You're one of these jaded "fans" that take everything to the $$$ and nothing else. If that's what drives you to like boxing, you're not really a fan.
And your trash talk about Trinidad.... I'm not going to get into that argument with you 'cause you're not worth my time. Suffice it to say that Trinidad was "never caught redhanded". He was made to re-wrap his hands differently from what he always did, and was never considered against the rules. Otherwise it would have been pointed out a long time ago. It was basically a mindgame ploy from the Hopkins corner, to play with Tito's mind. It has long been established that there was nothing wrong with the way he had his hands wrapped.
But all of this is wasted on your feeble mind, so go on with your mindsets, and go on worshipping and jerking off about coddled little fighters like Baby Chavez. And go on caring only about what the fighters make $$$. You sound like a real knowledgeable boxing fan to me.
Debate? As in your spouting baseless accusations without any information to back them up? No, you're right..... I'm not too good at those. Whereas you've mastered the art pretty good. See.... debate is where two intelligent people argue back and forth over conflicting points of view. When it's one intelligent person and one asshole..... it's called talking trash.
In case you're wondering, you're the asshole.
No need to thank me. I like to help all charity cases like you. It gives me a sense of purpose.
there's no denying martinez had a couple of spectacular wins (and a loss and a draw) against against a few of top level opponents a few years ago.
based on his most recent performances however, i believe he is slipping. he seems to lack focus...which hinders speed... which lessens power. i think his age is catching up with him. a person's athleticism only carries them so far in boxing. i don't believe he has the skill set to carry him when he no longer has his speed advantage. this loss of focus may also have to do with being a media darling...he's like a starlet now. everyone says he's so great... i think he's losing his drive.
we'll see how he fares in the future if and when he faces top level opposition again. because in his last two fights he performed what i feel to be poorly against some basic b level fighters. which i feel lessens his credibility in the P4P rankings.
Oh yeah... Sergio is slipping. Now is the time to pit him against Chavez Jr. I say let's get this match made as soon as possible. A victory over the fading Martinez will elevate Chavez's status and put a major scalp on his belt. That way he can get the doubters off his back.
Slipping? And he's still knocking these guys out!
His last 7 opponents have a combined record of 230-8
Macklin arguably defeated Sturm! Dzinziruk & Barker were both undefeated.
Its not like he's fighting guys Mayorga & Margarito

i'm gonna wait and see how he fares in the future... if and when he faces top level opposition again.

i want to wait and see what happens when he fights next.
everything else is speculation... and i'm predicting his continued decline in focus and speed and power and therefore effectiveness. if this happens against a fighter with some wrinkles in his game, someone with some depth. i predict a loss for sergio.
you are perfectly welcome to think he's P4P whatever number you want.
