yeah, martinez does get hit more often now than in the past, but he producing better fights now and he can take a punch. if martinez can take pavlik's best punches and not get stopped, there's probably no one at MW and below that can spark him out.

I would love to see a Sergio and mayweather

fight at 154. I think it would be phenomenal.
