    Martinez is in a different level in my opinion. His last few fights have been blowouts. He is sooo good right now. Crazy confidence and a quick pop with a load of power. Dude is too good.

    He moved up in weight to fight Kelly Pavlik, not because he could no longer make 154. So, no, you're wrong.

    people on here are overating martinez abit.. i know his a very good fighter but who has he beat?.. williams was always overated and kelly pavlik was destroyed by bhop prior to the martinez bout.. Froch has fought better fighters. but martinez i think is more skilled would be a good fight.

    I'm going with Froch. I think his size and strength advantage will tell. Sergio is faster but he's been caught a few times recently by fighters who weren't though to be in his class. He can be hit and Froch's power and pressure will get to him in the second half of the fight.

    I think Martinez' team are making the same mistake a lot of guys have; they see Froch's awkward style, think he looks slow etc. Carl doesn't win many fights on paper. In the ring though, it's a whole other story.

    Listen. Its not an opinion, its a fact that Froch busts up Sergio.

    Why would Sergio go up to 168 to fight KRYPONITE. If Sergio struggled with guys like Barker and Macklin, he would get dominated by a bigger Froch.

    Martinez is no Ward, and his style will get neutralized by Frochs power and conditioning

    Haha, anyone that thinks Martinez would last beyond 2 rounds is in la la land. Froch would kill this hypejob, Martinez has a terrible glass jaw that's been exposed already by C level bums, I hate to think what Froch would do.:nut:nut:lol:

    i know froch vs bute was more one sided than rudy eugene vs ronald poppo but i think you may be getting carried away if you think froch can beat sergio ' best in the world' martinez ! :dead
