    First of all the wright to tito chain is irrelevant, Tito was past his prime, fat as hell, and in the wrong weight division. Tito was not even close to optimal at 160lbs. ESPECIALLY after retiring.

    prime Tito would knock Martinez and Williams out around the time he was fighting guys like Thiam/Reid/Vargas. That was where Tito's body primed out. Don't even put Paul Williams in the same sentence as Tito. He'd be decimated. Trinidad is an elite fighter from the 90s era, lets be realistic - it was a different class of 147/154lbers.

    That is true, tito has been outboxed but only by guys that were more skilled than Martinez (DLH, Hopkins, Winky), Tito wasnt one dimensional at all, he had a good jab and a good right hand, not just the hook. Martinez keeps his hands low like that and Tito would have a good chance of catching him clean, better than he would against dlh, hopkins, winky.

    Felix Trinidad is what he is, and that's an ATG welterweight.

    At 154 Tito; however, Martinez takes it at 160.

    Everyone keeps talking about Titos power. What about Sergios power and speed along with Titos shaky legs???

    Im telling you guys Martinez takes this one. People are just focusing on Titos power here yet no one mentions Martinez power.

    sergio a good fighter very good for that matter his losses margarito an williams volume preasure fighters although pw loss questionable an redeemed that loss. both ww who have fought up but most succseful at ww and nowere near the devasting assasin tito was tito wins any weight division inculuding mw felix win over joppy more impressive than sergios most recent win aginist serg dinzurik an although impressive in palik win i dont believe that was best version of kelly both physicaly an mentaly an ko versus paul williams although devastating is slightly givin to much credit considering the light hitting carlos indio quintana had pw hurt. lets give sergio all the credit he has rightfuly earned an deserves but also put the acplishments in perspective over rank him

    Not to mention that Martinez was as green at Chiko's avatar when Margarito defeated him.

    I actually take Martinez....

    Sergio is bigger than tito

    Sergio ate shots from Pavlik (who hits harder than Tito)

    Sergio is a southpaw

    Sergio is a fast slick awkward boxer

    Sergio has pretty good power

    It doesn't really look good for Tito. A bad match up styles wise....

    Tito has a better legacy tho... As of now

    I think his comback really **** on his legacy :bart

    At 160, Martinez takes this. And it wouldn't be that competitive.
