Martinez >Prince Naseem and Cotto is less skilled than Barrera, but hear me out...

I think in 5 to 10 years time that people will rate Hamed higher than Martinez.

Martinez has like 3 good wins and prior to Cintron his opponent's records are horrible. Hamed fought very good competition over sever weight classes for years.

But anyways the biggest difference between the two fights was that Barrera is better defensively than Cotto, he was able to outbox and counter Hamed very well. But I think that Martinez would find openings on cotto and win.

 

He is better than Martinez, he was more consistent.

 

Martinez is actually smaller than Margarito, one inch shorter, the big difference is not only size, but Martinez has some hand speed and much more mobile, imo Martinez stops Cotto in less than 7 rounds at 154 and faster at 160 and not just because he's bigger, but because he has skill. People are overrating Margarito's victory.
