47-year-old Sergio Martinez ranked #3 middleweight in the world

[Primo Carnera]

Sergio is at the age where Jake Paul might be giving him a call :S.....

This is actually a very good point. I’m not sure Jake Paul could make that weight, but if he could , it would offer the best chance he’ll ever get of getting a World ranking.

When has weight classes ever got in the way of corruption:S... Although I do think this would be a bridge too far even for boxing, surely impossible for the WBA to somehow transfer the ranking to Jake Paul but it is boxing....

I do think it's possible Jake Paul might try to get him into a fight at a higher weight glass, Martinez was already in bad physical condition when he was last world champion, his age is good for Paul, and he could advertise as him fighting a former champion who's ranked number 3 in the world, just leave out the fact it's at middleweight and a joke ranking.

Crazy really, he's been far more active at 47 than a Charlo among others. Now sits #2 in what passes as the 'elder' wba ranking with Golovkin and Lara holding belts. Don't know what they did with his shot knees over the years but the way they looked with Cotto never imagined him active again. But he's playing with fire.

Good point his knees were definitely sketchy I always felt against cotto already and that was like what 10 years ago

Wasn't it in the last round of the Chavez fight that his knee went and he was on shaky legs ever since, I very much doubt the time away has helped his health much :S

now forty eight & ranked number two by the wba
