Tito also got dropped multiple times in his career, but like Sergio he got up.

They both have shown great heart. But Martinez was only seriously hurt once when he was dropped, and it was by a guy who weighed as much as a crusierweight.

Tito is no bigger than Martinez, they are roughly the same size; however, Martinez is a better boxer and an equally hard puncher.

To be honest, I think Martinez has more explosive punching power than Tito.

Additionally, Martinez has everything you need to beat Tito. He has excellent lateral movement, a southpaw style, and pin point accuracy, especially with his left straight, which he would utilize effectively to Trinidad's open body.

Trinidad could not just march in there in seek and destroy mode because Martinez would take away his wind with his body attack early, and then knock him out late.

Tito is not good when he faces guys with a lot of movement. He had issues with Oscar, and while he was less than prime, had issues with Roy Jones.

Martinez is not a small, and shot guy, like Whitaker. He is a big middlweight puncher that moves.

Even if Tito does manage to tag Martinez and hurt him, Martinez will get up, and Tito is not a relentless punching machine.

This is a bad match up for Martinez.

It's funny that more people pick Mayweather to win when he isn't a mover at this weight, is undersized, and isn't a big puncher.

I say Tito knocks Mayweather out. You can't hide in a corner against a guy like Tito who is bigger, stronger, and taller than you. That's where he wants you, right in front of him.

This is not Ricky Hatton.

The best way to beat Tito is with movement.

Damn you make an excellent point! Espcially about the Mayweather comment.

In order for this fight to be competitive, a catchweight would need to be done. @154 Tito is king and @160 Maravilla is king. But either way, in whatever weight I still think Tito beats Martinez but it would be a fight of the ages!

Tito by vicious, brutal KO. Roach, you're insane. Martinez doesn't even approach Tito's power and he couldn't even begin to take Tito's shots at 154 OR 160.

Would have been great fight. They both have the tools to win, whoever wins it would be close. Martinez is not a big Middleweight, I'd say 154 is probably the best weight for the both of them. Great fight.
