GGG vs Martinez would be interesting.

 

Not to mention the broken hand, torn knee ligaments and outright refusal to attempt to hold on even when in serious peril that would've quelled much of the drama. The lack of appreciation for such a ballsy, courageous performance is appalling. :yep

 

Didn't know about the injuries.

Makes the performance even sweeter.

 

Yeah..

No need for a rematch, though.

 

I wouldn't go that far. Martinez certainly isn't great, but he's a very good fighter. Good puncher, quick hands, awkward angles. he got caught late by a 180+ lbs man but managed to hang on. Chances are he'd slice Hamsho up.

It's time to bring Golovkin up front though. I'm very interested to see how Martinez goes about trying to deal with him (and vice versa, of course).

 

Money.

 

It'll only be worse. Naturally Chavez is going to let his hands go more early and often and he'll get a lot more in return for it.. Sergio will coast and take rounds off knowing he can toy with Chavez as he pleases. There won't be a deliberate hyper-macho Scarface moment in the final frame either, if it gets there.

 

Current guy<<<<<<<<<<<<everyone before him.

It's like the most boring chorus of the worst song ever sung. By some Mormon tabernacle choir afterhours band. Chief Taunty Tongue and Dances with Dogs and getting a good shot that wobbled him aren't going to take the shine off of Martinez for embarrassing everyone who tried to take what's his without a fight in the first place. That's what matters, in the here and now where he's regarded as one of the best active fighters alive. And before "it's because everyone sucks now" stop, drop, roll, take a deep breath, and pop a few geritol and nap it off. You'll be fine.

 

This is bull****. All of it. Look at the Martinez Vs Graziano thread for proof, no one is picking Rocky.

My G-Man reference was because he was also a massive weight cutter, with a half decent jab who could bang.

Barker, Macklin, Drinzsuruk, all absolute dog ****. Especially the last one, an overrated, over protected WBO 'titlist'.

 

Not bad squire, good work

OBVIOUSLY I DON'T ACTUALLY MEAN AS WORTHLESS AS A DOG TURD but I followed Macklin or Barker coming up the ranks and neither are genuinely World class.

Before anyone says anything, Sturm is a solid european level fighter and has been for a while. That's not a criticism either. Macklin did not beat him IMO but somehow, like Martin Murray is now seen to be 'World class' before he had a competitive fight with him.

For everyone that says ':| old timers are given preferential treatment' they'll rate a current fighter pretty highly and not really criticise him at all and give him a free pass.

Everyone thought Jaime Garza was the next big thing at one point ya' know?

 

What's your current Top 6 look like, Flea?

 

1. Floyd
2. JMM
3. Manny
4. Sergio
5. Wlad
6. Ward
7. Donaire

Hard after that IMO

 

:good

Yeah, that's why I didnt even bother asking for ten. I'm always kind of astonished at how OLD the guys at the top of the current food chain are. All of them about on their way out the door in the near future sans Ward and Nonito.

 

"Everybody now is trash! Wah! But I don't really mean it if you call me out on being ridiculous."

Okay, Cochise. Whatever you say. I'm not here to get into it with anybody but I don't get the point of minimizing and insulting current guys when you don't really believe it. And I didn't say everybody. Yeah, Sergio leads the Graziano poll, but every time I see him mentioned in here, it's only talking about everything he's not and would he be anything any other time, blah. He gets very little credit and there's always some diehard classic-only guys on a rant about how Quarry pushes Wlad's sh*t in and Iron Pantaloon McTwinkycawk's draw with Freddie Steele gives him a better case as an ATG than Calzaghe has and Pacquiao wouldn't be heard of in the thirties and blah, blah, blah. It's boring.

 

Go somewhere else then.
