Martin is way worse than any of the supposed "cans" Klitschko fought

    I thought martin would at least go 4 rounds, it was pretty pathetic on his part.

    Glazkov was in and out with jabs and body shots the entire two and a half rounds the fight went. Martin only gave the impression that he was landing hard punches because Glazkov was rolling with them to take away the power. Martin didn't land one meaningful punch that entire fight.

    As an American I never thought for a second Martin would give Joshua problems. I'm baffled by how some people have him in their top 20 after the fight as well. Dillian Whyte has a better resume than Martin.

    Martin is one of the worst HW beltholders of all time. How this guy ever got a shot in the first place is a mystery.

    He looked awful vs Glazkov, not "in control", not that Glazkov was much better, they were both awful, undeserving of fighting for a championship. I have no idea why people were picking him against Joshua, it boggles my mind still.

    Even with Klitschko being as tentative as he is today, I can't for the life of me see a Martin-Klitschko fight going past the third round even if Wlad put in a half decent effort. Wlad would Pulev Martin faster and more brutally than he did to Pulev himself. :lol:

    Wlads straight right is more destructive than Joshua's in my opinion and Joshua landed it flush twice. Martin buckled under both.

    Wlad would take Martins head off in the first round. I'm not sure Martin survives his jab to be honest.

    Wlad's straight right is a lot more explosive, that's why it's more destructive. It also seems to have more snap, whereas Joshua just seems to bludgeon people with his punches.

    Stop trying to hype up Joshua you clown. Martin was getting dealt with by Glazkov before the injury, and most knowledgeable observers of the support will agree with me.

    I don't know, these guys were pretty damn bad. So were Mormeck, Charles Shufford and Ray Austin and Fabio Moli. Martin probably goes 50-50 against that group.

    I think you're being to kind on Martin, he is the worst heavyweight title holder ever in my opinion. He wasn't even a top 20 fighter and I agree he should have never gotten a shot at a vacant title, his best win was who? Perhaps Zumbano Love based off that Shannon Briggs deserves a title shot that's the level Martin is at, he's comparable to a shot over the hill 44 year old Briggs.

    Martin was just awful last night even worst than I expected, Joshua looked embarrassed at how easy it was. Dropped and stopped by such a basic move from Joshua, step to the right to slip the jab then counter right hand even in his wildest dreams Joshua couldn't have hoped it would be that easy. Martin is total garbage worst than Mormeck, Pianeta, Wach though Leapai may be as good as him.

    This is hilarious.:rofl All the same guys who beat the s*** out of me for picking Martin over AJ, are now trying to sell Martin as a killing machine after AJ KO'd him, this is just pathetic.

    I went out on a limb and it broke, clearly Martin wasn't as good as I thought he might be, but now his biggest critics are his biggest hypers.:lol:

    I could tell you why he believes that but you wouldn't like it.

    No, he sucked before the fight and he sucks now, he just sucks nearly as bad, or worse, as a few of the guys W. Klistchko fought.

    I really don't have any problem with Klitsc's competition though. If you defend a heavyweight title 4 times a year, you will fight some bums.
