Pacquiao:
Hatton KO2
Cotto TKO12
Clottey UD 12
Margarito UD12
Martinez:
Cintron D (We all know Martinez won this fight, so for the sake of the argument consider this a win for him.)
Williams L MD12
Pavlik UD12
Williams KO2
Dzinziruk TKO8
I know lots of you will disagree, especially the day after the fight, but I don't think Martinez's recent track record is really much more impressive than Pacquiao's, if it is more impressive at all. No denying that those last two KO wins are highly impressive, but not a lot more so than Hatton and Cotto. People talk about Pac's opponents being washed up or having their soul taken, but Pavlik fits that to a tee as well. Clottey and Cintron are the same win. So are Margarito and Pavlik IMO.
Just saying, I know people are overreacting but take an objective look. If you disagree and think Martinez's recent record is more impressive, I can't say you are wrong but it's not that much better IMO. If Martinez gets another win like his last two over a comparable opponent, and Pacquiao fights another sham fight, then I'll definitely be moving Sergio up. Thoughts?
