    Froch would likely stop Martinez.

    Froch, Martinez is too small for 168

    Froch wins easily. I think he could box with Martinez all night but ultimately would just have too much power.

    Id go Froch - but think it would be closer than most think - would be a good fight! IMHO

    Good fight. A chance for Martinez to make himself an ATG being the man at 154, 160 and 168 simultaneously. Probably step too far for him though. I think Froch will be too strong for him.

    I could see Martinez surviving, while making it somewhat competitive. Even if Froch is swatting flies 90% of the time, his aggression and pace control would see him walk away with a lopsided UD.

    Froch UD.
