    He was missing a lot of those punches in round 3. If he was more accurate he could have ended it sooner. Good finisher, but nowhere near the best

    He's good but i'm not sure he's on someone like Gamboa's level. Just lacking that A grade speed and power at the weight. He's more around Khan's level i'd say in terms of finishing, a solid 8/10.

    Froch didn't come to mind initially but certainly deserves mention and praise. Martinez has to be high on the list..

    Martinez is a pretty good shout yes, arguably the best in the biz but a worthwhile factor to consider is that Martinez holds more power than Froch.

    He's not at all. It's all about Floyd when he has you in trouble or Rigondeaux or most speed fighters. You aint getting out of that ****.

    Floyd can finish people soon as their wobbled. With his hand speed he never lets them off the hook

    High praise indeed!
