    Listen to me Beauchey. I loved Martinez and don't like Glovbum.

    But 3 bum is all wrong for Sergio.

    I was just describing him. Are you pulling the race card?

    He didn't have a chin. People with chins don't get put into a coma like he did.

    Fair enough about the "Black American" comment..

    As far as people with chins getting KTFO. Plenty of examples of it in boxing.

    You should follow more international boxing, maybe you could learn something.
    Martinez was poor man's Roy Jones Jr. Mostly his athletic abilities kept him on top. GGG has more boxing knowledge in his little finger than Martinez in his whole carcus.

    Listen Bruce Lee! Martinez wasn't a poor Jones. When was Jones a Southpaw?

    Taking into account Golovkin's ring generalship, hardest UD Sergio would have had to work for. Golovkin parries, slips better than one-dimensional Barker and Dzinziruk. Golovkin also seems to have a Chavez Jr type of chin, Sergio's "one-shots" wouldn't work out.

    Leaning toward Golovkin stoppage, not excluding a hard fought 8-4 type UD from Sergio.

    No but he's still too slick for Golovkin. Anyways when Gennady fights a ranked black American is when he'll get his ass kicked..

    GGG by KO, but Martinez would have a few moments in the fight.

    I think Golovkin may be a stylistic nightmare for Sergio, you got a guy who's extremely accurate with excelllent ability to cut off the ring. Golovkin would find him and KO him, I don't see it lasting 12 rounds to be honest.

    I think Martinez was too careless defensively his entire career. He wasn't fundamentally sound as a boxer but he was very gifted athletically (great speed/reflexes). Still at his best I think that Golovkin would have eventually found his chin and knocked him out.
