    Nah......Hopkins is too big for Martinez but if the fight can be made, Hopkins will win it. They both beat Pavlik convincingly.

    i think Hopkins would have found a way to shut down Martinez over the 12-round distance (probably with a lot of holding and mugging whenever he got in close to the Argentine, but also by using the right counter punches), but I bet it be a competitive fight. I gotta go with B-Hop, though. His record against southpaws is amazing

    I think hopkins has this one... at least after what I saw against Pascal.. just too heavy for Martinez.

    OG Hops fo sho I think, but Serge would make it hard if he throws a **** ton of shots and you know he's gonna be a constant moving target.

    Martinez is too fast for Hopkins, somewhat like Calzaghe, except he hits harder.............
