    Yeah, Martinez was a far cry from the fighter you see today. No question.

    Yeah but Martinez beat Pavlik who I believe is better than Marg and has better skills and more power. That's why I said it's a suprise.

    Sergio wasn't quite as sharp back then, but still a stylist. He had only been boxing professionally for about two years and had only boxed at all for 5 years. Margarito hit him throughout the fight with bodywork and his money uppercut.

    Sergio was green then. No real Amateur experience and he was learning on the job. that was a looong time ago and neither are the same fighter today. Martinez would demolish him today.

    sergio is a much better fighter now, Also margarito was a much stronger fighter back then!! You have to remember that margarito is only 32 years old but hes been fighting since he was a little kid... and hes been fighting proffessionally since he was 15 in Tijuana! So combine those 2 things and you have a margarito victory! Prime for prime... Sergio beats Margs!!

    Martinez still takes breaks in his fights. Margarto is the kind of guy that if you take a break against him, he will punish you and can take control of a fight.

    They were both lesser fighters then than they are now. The fight would play out different but still a good one.
