    Both fighters lasted approximately the same length of time in the ring give or take a few seconds, and both got stopped after a couple of knockdowns.

    Yet to me, despite identical results I felt Wade put in 10 times the performance of Charkes Martin.

    He was the more overmatched opponent but put in twice the effort IMO

    How would you compare the two?

    They're the same level, Wade and Martin. Damn, I have to say Wade is a bit better, though. At the very least, Soliman went the full fight. Wade robbed Soliman for sure, but it wasn't just an automatic give me title. Wade got lumped up a bit.

    Martin did absolutely nothing. It was a freak accident against a fighter that is a notoriously slow starter. We don't know what would've happened in the mid-to-late rounds.

    I wouldn't even call Martin a boxer. Wade was out his depth but he's still a good boxer.

    Wade did better, but Martin is better, Martin never had a chance to get into the fight because he was too busy trying pick the perfect time to lay down for AJ and collect his check.

    That's all martin has, most talentless title holder i can remember.. exactly what makes martin on wades level, to you.

    Wades more talented, better skilled and actually tries when over matched. Both these fights went exactly how they would 200x in a row.

    Your judgement on talent is horrific when it comes to ggg, aj and Spence. The 3 most talented and destruvtive forces in all of fighting.

    The level below them, kovalev, ward, rigo and loma types, there's a good 10 fighters in this teir.

    You just can't accept these 3 along with some from the (still great fighters) lower teir will carry boxing for the next decade

    Since I've seen almost all of Martin's matches that are on YT and at least 6 of Wade's, I can judge them accurately, and Martin is better.

    Wade landed a couple of punches (although completely ineffective) against a higher class of boxer, so he did a little better.
    Of course he was toast when he signed the fight, so everyone with half a brain knew this was a very likely scenario after seeing him get that gift against Soliman.

    I didn't have the patience to read this earlier, but did you just say that Spence and Joshua are a level above Kovalev, Rigondeaux, Lomachenko and Ward.:scaredas: Jesus ****ing Christ. :patsch

    Talk about buying into the hype a little too much, holy ****.:rofl Please get a hold of yourself.

    Martin was definitely more disappointing. He didn't come to win, he was just looking for an easy way out to collect his check.

    Wade was thoroughly overmatched, but at least he tried. He could have easily stayed down earlier and been counted out.

    The current crop of American boxers just have no heart. They don't train, don't want to fight. Just take a dive and grab their pay check. Terrrible.

    Wade actually landed a highlight worthy combination.

    No it wasn't me that argue Wlad was drugged, I've never said a ****ing thing about Jones, but now that you bring it up Jones tested positive not once but twice, and the test was administered by a Swiss anti-doping agency not a Russian one IIRC, so most logical people realize he was pretty ****ing guilty.

    Chechnya and Kadyrov are as corrupt as corrupt can get, and Kadyrov and his fascist goons have a vested interest in the outcome of the match, since Chagaev is a personal friend of Kadyrov's and Kadyrov also happens to be a boxing fanatic, which is one of his many interests, the others include murdering dissidents, torture, mass killings, yeah he's a real sweetheart.:roll:

    I'm a simple minded clown? You might be the stupidest person on this site, not to mention delusional as ****.
