Charles Martin appreciation thread

Yup, seems like a humble over achiever.

 

Charles Martin got hella xans.

 

Martin gave a good account of himself in a slugfest vs Kownacki, coming up just short on the scorecards.
Martin may not be a world beater, but he is a pretty decent heavyweight.

Martin seemed overwhelmed by the total event in the Joshua fight. Not that I think he would ever win that fight or a rematch, but he is a better fighter than he showed vs Joshua.

As of now, to me, he needs to really focus on developing his jab into something more than a range finder.

 

WIn or lose he put on a great show at his last fight.

 

Martin is a legend for the mere fact that he was able to get himself a $8.5 million payday out of Joshua, which shows that being the most accomplished and talented fighter doesn't always translate to good money. Parker had a better record and more talent than Martin had, but ended up negotiating and taking less against Joshua than Martin did.

Martin didn't even care that he lost to Joshua and quit early instead of letting Joshua beat him like a drum like Joshua did to Breazeale for 6-7 rounds, since he knew he was taking home a fortune.

 

I don't know if anyone's seen but Joseph Parker is going to be fighting some of Charles Martins leftovers soon.
Martin absolutely destroyed Alexander Flores inside four rounds back in 2014, I don't think Parker would even survive six rounds against a prime, motivated Martin.

 

Still smoking the earth that God gave i see

 

Apparently the omnipotent Prince will by taking on Gregory Corbin next, who has only a mere (15-0) record. This would be the perfect occasion to send a statement to all the so called ''top heavyweights''.

Fear Martin's wrath.

 

what are we appreciating about him

 

was Fury fighting Minnesota club fighter Joey Abell in 2014 any better? let alone plenty of other examples.

 

Whyte fighting Malcolm Tann? Wilder and Povetkin fighting Firtha? Parker fighting Cajanu?

 

Pulev fighting Abell and Perkovic?

 

^^^All these fights you mentioned above are cherry picks. The question you should be asking is why did these guys go out and fight lesser opposition? Obviously they were trying to avoid the living enigma which is Charles Martin.

 

he would have been a better opponent in every instance.

 

Just thought I'd leave this photo here.
