    Realistically, it don't CJ, GGG and Canelo take Martinez's Sunday punch imo

    Canelo and GGG are a different breed.

    Yeah I see him doing really well at first but then getting his face torn up and bloody, then eventually stopped.

    People seem to forget Martinez had a shaky chin

    Martinez would've had a earlier shot to land that shot against GGG, Canelo is a way harder target

    Maravilla in his peak stride makes even BJS look roughly as slick as Primo Carnera.

    Martinez was a good champion, but he avoided GGG plain and simple. He would have been knocked out.

    Avoided? :thinking:

    Sergio's career began winding down around 2012/13...GGG's best scalp yet was Proksa (which it would remain until he fought Geale, a month after Sergio's ill-advised hobble-legged retirement bout against Cotto...)

    Even the Rosado fight with the famous "he a good boy" speech that catapulted GGG on his way to HBO stardom didn't occur until just a couple of months before Sergio's penultimate fight. Aside from in the circles of boxing nerds like us, Golovkin was still a non-entity while Maravilla had one foot (and bum knee) out the door.

    Exactly he fought Geale and Cotto, GGG would have blown him and and he knew it. GGG had a belt for a while.

    Had a belt yes but was effectively a nobody. Casuals didn't really hop on the bandwagon until after the 'good boy' interview when he fought Gabe Rosado.
