    How can you even compare them ?
    Whenever someone sees a southpaw, they compare them with other southpaws.

    Martinez is no poor man's anything. He's the legit champ at 160, and got it the hard way.

    Besides them being southpaws, their styles and attributes are TOTALLY different!!:deal

    calzaghe is a volume puncher. martinez is a sharp stick and move guy.
    they aren't even alike.

    Nah. Martinez is a sharp boxer and so much more easier on the eyes. Calzaghe still ranks higher than him but if Martinez keeps his focus and goes on to further success then he'll pass him no doubt. Resume-wise I will have Martinez over him as he will fight anybody(and has legit ko's lol) but Joe surpasses him now.

    Martinez has already exceeded Calzaghe in almost every category. It's a mild insult at this to compare Martinez to Calzaghe.

    the guy wants to fight pacquiao when he is way to big for him and surely he realises that pacquiao has no intentions of going up in weight

    so if the fight happends it will be at a big catchweight and pac haters will go on a tirade

    the man just needs to move and make hes mark on the higher divisions
