    I don’t think anyone is trying to discredit AJ’s power. AJ’s Chin is what we are talking about in wondering if Martin would have different tactics knowing what we know now. Let’s not get this twisted Joshua is a Glass Jawed Fighter. Nothing will ever change that. Charles Martin is a Glass Jawed Fighter also who has done very little in his career of note other than ‘winning’ a belt via bizarre or fluke injury.
    Charles Martin is a likable guy he just is limited in skills and Chin.

    Indeed it was. Of the percentage of fighters only a certain amount let's say 1 or 2% ever win a world title, so you can't really discredit Charles Martin for being a world champion or even having title fights.

    Let’s have it right, half of Glazkovs higher profile wins were gifts, and Martin was looking to be getting the better of him before his knee went.

    Martin however is nowhere near good enough to pick up a strap.

    Prince Charles Martin will go down in annals of history as having held a legit world heavyweight title, he entered ring as contender and left with the IBF strap, that is more than massive majority of heavyweights will ever acheive.

    Will his endeavours be spoken of with great passion in years to come, likely not, but on 26th Jan 2016 he entered boxing history as a champion, and by time lost title had several million in the bank as a result, that sounds good to me.

    Let me be a bit more clear as I obviously was very poor in constructing my sentence. What I meant to say was "Very impressive about the manner in which he won the belt". I should probably avoid sarcasm (or was that also sarcastic?)

    pretty sure he is WBA mandatory he isn’t getting Joshua anytime soon so Rob should try and get the Bryan vs Charr winner for the ‘regular’ belt. It’s a winnable fight for him.

    Michael ''The Bounty'' Hunter wants that smoke with Charlie. He wants to duke it out with him in a final eliminator for the right to challenge AJ, who FTR not only shamelessly ducked The Bounty Hunter but even did so after Serge predicted with 100% certainty he would, for his IBF strap.

    How much you wanna bet Charlie ducks Michael ''The Bounty'' Hunter too?

    I have to agree that Martin will likely be KOed again, as he is a professional fighter who likes to get into exchanges.
    Does not change the fact that you are a cheap shot punk who bad mouths fighters who are doing their best with what
    they have go to work with.

    I must admit I've only seen him fight once live and it's when he got smoked by Joshua in the least competitive fight I've ever seen.

    Does he carry a rep stateside?

    People will be lining up to take him on now, and he'll command good money as well. I guess he'll sell himself to the highest bidder.
