Fantasy Matchup : Sergio Martinez v Mike McCallum (@ Middleweight)

McCallum would dissect him, see the Herol Graham fight

 

McCallum's jab and body punches would pick Maravilla apart.

I'd expect Sergio to get his licks in due to speed, but too much Technical skills on display from the Body Snatcher IMO.

 

McCallum beats him.

 

McCallum is agrauably the GOAT at 154 he would beat the crap outta Martinez.

 

Bodysnatcher? AW HELL NAAAH, Martinez wouldn't wanna go near him.

 

McCallum stops him. Bad stylistic match-up for Sergio. He would be competitive early, fade around the 6th/7th as Mike takes over and then get stopped late. Terry Norris also beats Martinez, imo. If he doesn't get caught with something big.

 

Norris/Martinez would be one hell of a barn burner for however long it lasted :yikes.

That's a damn fine fantasy match up :deal

 

McCallum beats Martinez handily. McCallum wasn't quite the same at 160 as he was at 154, but was still a wonderful technician. Tough to tag flush, excellent chin, methodically picked his shots and mixed it up head and body.

Sergio is just a good fighter in a poor division/era. His speed and athleticism will give the rather slow-footed McCallum some problems at times, but certainly not enough to win or even make it close. McCallum simply had so much more in his toolbox.

 

Martinez is scard of Pirog and any other halfway legitimate challenger, and you want to put him on a level with Terrible Terry Norris. That's some fine boxing analysis there, Lou.

Mike would break sexy sergs nose, then as Sergio thinks he's having a hard time breathing, Mike would start putting on them nasty body shots. McCallum will slowly but surely cut him down. McCallum stops him to the body, late on.

 

Martinez doesn't want pirog let alone other hof's of the sport

 

Who put him on that level?

Show me where I said that.

I said it'd make a fun fantasy match up.
