    Hopkins by decision. Just all around too good for Martinez.

    Hopkins is a horrible style even for the very best. Also he looks great against southpaws.

    Hopkins tko 10.

    Hopkins chews him up and spits em' out.

    Sergio complains to the ref, but will continue to fight with his hands low.. Hopkins wide UD.

    Hopkins has the size advantage and knows how to use it. I think Sergio takes a few eary rounds outboxing B-Hop, but eventually, he'll trap him and grind him down in the clinches. Hopkins late TKO

    Who would have thought the only person to vote for Martinez would have 'tito' in his username.

    Hopkins always had a problem when the fighter had faster hands than he did. RJJ, Jermain, Calzaghe. Martinez could have beat him.

    Those guys are all better than Sergio, and weren't smaller. Hopkins struggles with athleticism period, but it really shines against guys he can't bully. He can bully Sergio.

    Martinez could beat him , but he doesnt have faster hands than Bernard. He also has slower feet.

    I think it would be hard to "bully" him. If he was getting hit in the face that much. Martinez also is a counter puncher, and does not come after Hopkins. On trinidad or somebody like Tarver who just chases him down, he will just counter you all day and win. The size is a disadvantage for Sergio but its not a easy matchup for any version of Hopkins.
