So, Charles Martin isn't as bad as was advertised?

    Adam Kownacki demolished Artur Szpilka in 4 and Gerald Washington in 2 winning every minute of the fight against each of them in the process. The same Szpilka and Washington were outboxing current WBC champion Deontay Wilder until he landed his big right hand.

    And now we have Charles Martin who was considered as a complete joke, a bum after the loss to Joshua. And he gave Kownacki all he could handle losing the fight by close decision. I'm pretty sure Martin is better than anyone in Wilder's resume except of Fury, Ortiz and (probably) Stiverne in the first fight. He is clearly better than Szplika, Washington, Molina, Duhaupas and shot to **** Arreola.

    Do you feel he will beat British heavyweight Joyce then? Martin has been offered a bout with Joyce.

    Szpilka is washed-up, Washington is a big, lumbering football player, with no reflexes who started boxing at 23. Kownacki is a real fighter, but if he fought Wilder I'd put my money on him taking a nap, and Martin reminds me of a black 240lb. southpaw Jeff Horn; athleticism, toughness and awkardness, but no skill. Martin vs Washinton is about even. Even now.

    Thats all well and good but this does not fit the current narrative which is Anthony Joshua has been taking the easy fights going after no hopers like unbeaten world champions and ATG's. Wilder has been the one taking on the Boogeymen of the division, the big names like the names you have mentioned. So unfortunately what you say cant be taken in to consideration. If you had come with a thread saying JOSHUA B SIDE, JOSHUA DUCKING, JOSHUA COWARD and not actually stated any facts to back that up that would of been much more in line with current trends.

    No, I'm pretty sure Martin would stop Washington. Gerald has awful stamina while Charles looked good in the second half of the very intensive fight against Kownacki.

    I'd favor Joyce to stop Martin in the mid rounds. And I think Joyce would demolish Szpilka and Washington in one.

    Charles Martin is a legit beast. He panicked against Joshua because he thought he's going to die before he gets to use all of his millions. And let's be honest, it's quite likely he was also high that night. Kownacki has now proven his true level.

    Yes he keeps his head very central and doesn`t roll away after punching leaving him open to the counter, Usyk exploited this after he beat Joyce straight after he won Olympic silver.

    I feel Szpilka and Washington showed more boxing skil v Wilder than Joyce has shown in his 7 pro fights thus far though.

    Horn has an active guard, heavyweights don`t have that kind of savvy aside form the top 3, I feel Usyk is far more skilled than any heavyweight fighting today despite Fury`s brilliant ability to slip shots.

    Did 'his arse fall out of bed?' That`s a term I heard some guy use under a youtube vid describing how Alan Minter bottled a fight with him after they got into a row over a girl while attending Benn v Watson in `89, I just found the term funny.

    Charles Martin talked embarrasing trash and then took Eddie Hearn's envelope stuffed full of cash under the table.
