    If you were a middle weight in this division which fight would you not want to take out of the three guys listed.

    As a figher things you would consider is Risk vs Reward, Difficulty of the fight (who would be the easiest to beat out of all 3), who would dishout the most demage to you (win or lose).

    Vote and discuss

    I would avoid GGG. He has no draw and his style brings the most pain. Martinez would be hardest to fight.

    1st. the Chavez Jr. Fight because of the $$/exposure.
    2nd. the Martinez fight for a chance to fight the best @160
    3rd. GGG to give him some name recognition.
    (You see what I did there...^)

    I would duck all of them! I would keep fighting bums to get a 40-0 records and wait to become paper champion of any world boxing ***.

    I'd avoid GGG - highest risk/reward ratio.

    All three are hard fights but in my opinion I would fight GGG first, then chavez and finally martinez

    Martinez, to be in the same proximity as him wearing nothing but boxers and perhaps a pair of socks would surely top as the GOAT moment of my life. It would even be worth the humility of being the first ever boxer to weigh in with a hard on.

    GGG is extremely high risk and low reward. Would have to be him.

    Chavez- Greatest chance of victory for the most money.
    Sergio- The lineal belt would be nice, but he's very dangerous...
    GGG- High risk, low reward.

    If I had to fight all three, I'd try and fight Chavez first, then Martinez, and then maybe a title defense against GGG later.

    looking at most of the responses (which aren't many) i suspect that this is how the boxing world views these guys. I wont be surprised if most other boxers will not fight GGG, most will want to fight chavez (but wont get a chance probobly), many will want to fight Martinez but he is out for at least 6 months up to one year.

    :deal Smart man, Smart man! I am guessing you will be with GBP then? :lol:

    As most have said; Chavez, Martinez. **** GGG. If I were undefeated and fight GGG who is a high risk/low reward and lose, it will derail my "hype train" :yep plus give him (GGG) more exposure whom, assuming you are a boxer too, don't want to give your opponent the exposure you surely want.

    It's all about reward/risk

    Martinez- proly the hardest fight to win, good chance of getting hurt but high reward in being recognized as the king of MW and decent payday

    Chavez- very high reward as far payday but chance of getting very hurt by a dude way too big for MW

    GGG- low payday, recognition for beating a bad ass but not worth the chance of getting your taken off for minimal pay compared to the other 2 options.

    it's about making money for boxers so GGG would be the worst to face. Martinez would be the hardest to win against and not that huge of a payday either so he's 2nd. chavez has the most upside as far as chances of winning and payday so he's the easy choice for who people would wanna fight.

    I'd want to fight Martinez. He's the champion. What makes hhim so tough to beat is that he's awkard, and that ****s with the years of "programing" that most boxers have. I think the key is to make you can touch him early even if it's not a scoring blow.
