    Man have thought about this fight so many times.

    GGG is perfect at cutting off the ring and marching forward with consistent pressure behind the jab and huge right hand, all the while going to the body with the left hook.

    would be a great fight before sergio fell in the 6th.

    GGG, his skill level is obviously at a different level.

    ***y Sergio would box circles around him. Just too fast unless Triple Duck catches him with a giant punch but I feel he'd be to slow to do much.

    The 12th round would come a lot sooner for Glovkin than it did for Junior.

    If GGG is KOing guys like Hagler and SRL, Martinez have no chance... :lol:

    If we're talking @ 160 (**** any weight really), GGG absolutely steam rolls the very formidable prime Martinez.

    Yup.

    Doesnt make into the 4th rd.

    Sergio relies soley on his awkward style to avoid big shots.

    He was at his slickest at 147 and crude no talent Concreto eventually ground him down......GGG vs Martinez at 160 is a slaughter. :good

    Hard to say. Matinez in his prime was a very good fighter, a level above anyone Golovkin has fought. GGG has never had to deal with an opponent with that speed, that movement or awkwardness.

    But Martinez also hadn't fought anyone as tough as Golovkin, with his power, pressure and skill.

    I think with their resumes and experience, Martinez would be the favourite being the more tested but I actually think Golovkin beats him. Golovkin is naturally bigger, stronger, cuts off the ring well, isn't scared to take a shot to land a shot, mixes up his punches well and his power is enough that one good shot is enough to turn the fight his way. It won't be easy but he overcomes Martinez and stops him late.

    Sergio by close decision he'd go down 2 or 3 times though.

    GGG walks all over any version of Martinez

    he would have beaten Sergio as easily as he beat his copycat Proksa

    Martinez was fantastic, but GGG is on another level. GGG is an ATG middleweight and its blatantly obvious

    very intruiging matchup, but I think GGG eventually catches up to Sergio and beats him down, it would be a great fight though, as long as it lasted
