No chance of ever getting made....unless somehow choc fights and beats Trout and Cotto :admin Then even if he does beat Trout...and then somehow beats Cotto still cant see him getting passed 4 rounds against Martinez
My pick!!! Choc to faint at the weigh in. :bbb PS. Who in their right mind would even consider asking that question.
Martinez landed the exact same overhand punch numerous times prior to the final connecting 1 knocking Williams out cold. Martinez is the real deal.
I'm with you here, Hmmm, he is a good fighter, in a traditionally competitive weight division, however his whole renaissance is based on the effectiveness of that one punch. It certainly wasn't lucky, he surely has landed it scores of times, but the button it found, in the stage of the fight it found it, is a little more than planned.
Ash, as much as you are playing Choc's chances down with the above, I tend to disagree. If Choc did beat Trout and Cotto you would look at him in a completely different light to the Choc of today. You would give him a realistic chance of winning. Martinez, before the Pavlik fight, three fights ago, was perceived a different fighter than the Martinez of today. He was probably p4p top 25 then, now he is top 5 p4p.
yeah dont get me wrong, Im not a Martinez hater, im just not prepared to put him up on a pedestal and claim every man and his dog is running scared because he KO'd Williams and Decisioned a washed up Pavlik. The amount of praise he is getting is absurd.
