    So many people accusing MArtinez of ducking GGG makes me laugh.
    But seriously right now, in my opinion, Martinez wins. How do you see it?

    Right now Martinez would probably win it as Golovkin lacks experience in big fights. But wait a year or two, Martinez will be almost 40 and Golovkin will have the experience needed.

    Golovkin's way over rated.

    He's got ONE name fighter to his credit. 32 yr old Kassim Ouma with two wins in his previous eight fights. And he easily outboxed GGG for eight rounds before his tired legs forced him to lay on the ropes.

    Oh yeah, there's fringe contender LaJuan Simon also. Another 32 yr old victim who was coming off a loss to unspectacular Dioniso Miranda. Caught him cold in the first. Nothing really too impressive about that.

    He can be easily outboxed. You just have to be in shape because he can be a bit of a beast in a drag out fight.

    Really ?
    I do think that Martinez is more talented and faster than GGG. Add to that his experience it would be wise to pick Martinez.
    I think Martinez knocks him out after a though fight.

    I do think so, Golovkin is a well established fighter with a ton of experience in his back, and he can bang very hard.

    Martinez is an offensive wrecking ball machine, but defensively he's very flawed. I think Golovkin is in with a good chance to be honest. I think it depends on how good Golovkin can take Martinez left hands down the pipe.

    If he can adapt to them and take the power away from Martinez, I think Martinez could potentially be in trouble.

    Golotkin would destroy him. Unfortunately, I think he will already have been exposed by Chavez before the fight can be made.

    Stupid. Martinez now. Golovkin needs more tests, imo he beats all other MWs though.

    Depends how Martinez performs in 2 weeks time. Age maybe a factor too.
    Heading towards 38 Years Old.

    Hugely overrated, it's like 95-5%.

    Maravilla would have to deal with GGG's freakish jab besides the counters, pressure, and infighting. But I think Maravilla would be a much harder target to land cleanly and he'd beat GGG to the punch first. Both have freakish power and high ring IQ. A trilogy and 3 classic fights could result of them clashing.

    Golovkin should tighten his defense a bit to win against a strong sharp puncher like Sergio. Right now I would favor Sergio by late TKO on cuts.
