    Martinez only lost to Margarito in his prime, and god knows what Margarito had in his gloves back then. It's very hard to bet against him in a '05 fight.

    Margarito didn't need hand wraps to pulverize Martinez :lol:

    05 Jones was roided to the gills.

    Fight is ruled a NC as Jones fails the drug test.

    Roy was one of a kind. He had that unique ability. Comparing him to Sergio Martinez is an insult to the intelligence of ESB posters.

    That unique ability to get knocked spark out by any punch. Never have I seen a glass jaw as bad as Roy Jones. It's so bad the bass from the music of Martinez ring walk would have knocked Roy Jones out before the fight had even started.

    He may have had a glass jaw but if you picked Martinez over Jones I'd laugh at you.

    Martinez was very very overrated

    He beat Toney who could crack

    Yes his chin wasn't great but what makes you think a guy like Martinez is gonna get to it if Jones isn't completely shot

    Martinez is 1 of 2 people who beat Paul Williams and the only boxer to beat Chavez Jr and Martin Murray - at the age of 37. I don't know how you can overrate such a terrific boxer with such a terrific record.

    Murray did beat martinez

    and Chavez jr is hot garbage

    The Paul Williams win was good but Williams was always a flawed fighter by the way he didn't use his length

    One spectacular KO over a decent fighter in Williams doesn't make a great fighter

    The Sergio is any time you like prime or not. A Jones Jr in 05 had been sparked out by Tarver and Johnson. It becomes a difficult fight

    In 05' sergio waxes RJJ at 168 catchweight.

    Anything near prime RJJ absolutely f-cking wrecks ***y sergio. Take nothing away from serg tho.
