Sergio Martinez Past His Prime ?

[ray corso]

His "comp" was hand picked by "him" this time! Sergio is a knowledgable boxer but he's not a great fighter. He's had a few good wins but he also lost when he stepped up too. Why can't a champ just be a good fighter who's difficult to fight because he's awkward or very quick or extremely strong. He doesn't have to be great because none of the current boxing champs are great. Mayweather has great talents but he doesn't fight great, Wlad has had great success but he's no great talent.
Why can't very good be enough at times, why does every champ need to be great? Their not! Ray

I hear and agree, being better than than everyone else doesn't seem to be enough, champions are always compared to great fighters from the past.

I had it 115-113 martinez. He did seem to lack pop and didn't sit down on his punches much at all. The less than stellar performance probably comes down to underestimating murray a bit and coming back from the surger. I think there is no need to write martinez off, just confirms that murray probably is world class, hell he gave sturm all he could handle. don't want to see a rematch since martinez probably only has a few fights left in him with that style of his
