Thread: 154

So with all these new faces coming into a division that was weaker than weak just one year ago, who takes control? Who will be the man of the division?

I really think Sergio Martinez has the skill and style to foil everyone else in the division at this time.

The first person who votes for Mora is getting banned. You hear that, Di?

I voted Paul Williams

I think when Paul Williams beats Verno this weekend, he might stick around at 154, and could pretty much dominate the division.

Although, a fight between him and Sergio Martinez would be very interesting. I would probably go with Martinez.

Now I should do it, just out of spite.


I'm picking Williams, only because I haven't seen enough of Martinez to make a good judgement on him. I like what I see so far, and I actually think he could give Williams problems with his speed, and movement. That's a matchup I would like to see.

You need to pressure Sergio, look at the Margo fight, he looks good over the first three or four rounds and then he kind of broke down a bit when Margo kept coming.

Paul isn't a typical pressure fighter but I could see him wearing Sergio down.

Basically I'm hesitant to get too high on a guy for beating Alex Bunema. Granted he's looked good in other fight, he's a good fighter, and the Margo fight was a long time ago but Bunema kind of made him look a bit better than he is IMO. He's good not great IMO.

voted for paul i think his speed and power blend together good at 154

Valid points bro, if he tries that holding his hands down against Williams he's getting KOed. I'm banking on the fact that his lateral movement will make great difficulty in William's style. Williams does have the reach, but I don't think he has the foot speed to keep up with Martinez. I only hope this is a fight that ends up happening.

Paul Williams and im hoping Ryan Rhodes wins a world title in 2009 at 154lbs.

you must not have heard John Duddy has moved to 154
