Naturally, the rickety cripple that Cotto beat up throughout 10 rounds doesn't make it out of that first round had it been GGG landing them hooks on him. However, rewind to the prime Maravilla of 2010 that embarrassed the man at 160 after being robbed of at least a draw in Maravilla-Williams I against who was then considered a P4P and H2H monster in the Punisher. . . How does that Martinez, who then when on to have an extremely solid string of wins at 160 lb (Williams II, undefeated highly avoided Dzinziruk, undefeated Barker and undefeated JCC Jr) do against GGG?
GGG IMO, Martinez should at this moment be considered the greater of the two but h2h I pick Golovkin and I don't think it goes 12 rounds.
Martinez by UD. This isn't Curtis Stevens, Lemieux or any of the many other tomato cans GGG has devoured for him to corner in one dimensional flat footed fashion and KO.
Bad fight for Martinez. The only ones who say Martinez are haters, there's no plausible angle in which it can be reasoned that he could beat Golovkin, unless by freak KO.
You stupid ass, Martinez had an amazing chin, most of the times he went down they were balance shots, and he had excellent powers of recovery, he went 9 rounds with Cotto when he was concussed and basically had one leg that's 5 more than Geale did, a healthy mobile Martinez could have made it 12.
You are very mean!! Anyway, I don't see him going the distance with GGG. It would be like Proksa vs. GGG. To beat someone like GGG there has to be someone who has a similar style and especially a chin. Someone who is going to trade punches and who's not afraid. After got hit by GGG most fighters break down.
