    Martin is now former IBF HW champion.

    So?

    How you rank him compared to Michael Bentt and Bruce Seldon? Nickolay Valuev? Oleg Maskaev?

    Probably the worst heavyweight champion ever, fought nobody prior to winning the title, won the title via an injury against a C level opponent and then loses title in less than 4 months to a 15 fight novice.

    One of the worst ever, even Seldon and Bentt would cream him.

    Maybe even Bentt would have bend him over.

    Agree with you :good

    Seldon at least beat old Tucker and Page, Bentt destroyed prime Morrison and Maskaev KO'd Rahman twice.

    Should have never held that belt to begin with..... That said he was a more worthy titlist than Stiverne.

    I think you exaggerating a bit, mate. No one is less deserving beltholder than Charles Martin :roll:

    By the way, I'm AJ fan, but I'm disappointed how weak was his opponent today.

    I'd disagree, Stiverne at least had to beat Arreola twice, Martin couldn't even do that much he had to have his opponent lose via injury to win a vacant title and when Stiverne lost the title he at least had the heart to go the distance.
