    Why wouldn't he beat him in your opinion?

    Paul Williams was no easy task. Martinez did what no one had been able to do. A prime Martinez was way to slick for Golovkin. "Lead footed Canelo" looked like Pernell Whitaker against GGG, Sergio Martinez would look like Willie Pep.

    And Gennady Golovkin.

    That's why he doesn't have credibility.

    Because he is an unreasonable person when it comes to some specific fighters.

    Jacobs trumps anything on Martinez' resume. He's a known, big, top level middleweight with power, and wins over some solid opposition, which lets us know what he is. Post Hopkins Pavlik never did anything, and that is Martinez' best win.

    Golovkin beat down Martin Murray. When Martinez fought Murray in Argentina, Murray was robbed.

    Admittedly the resume's of both are fairly shitty.

    Jacobs has beaten no one of note. Martinez beat Pavlik who was the lineal champ at 160 that alone destroys anything GGG has done.

    Your agenda is transparent you're on par with your lounge buddies banned alt trolls like Todd Kevin Willis/Dos Huevos/Two Eggs and the rest of the agenda driven posters who aren't even really fans of the sport. They are nothing more than cucks for EE fighters and neither of them are even EE they are American. You're not EE either so get off your knees it's embarrassing.

    You're a fool if you don't think PBF wasn't carrying Conor in that fight. He could turn it up anytime he wanted to.

    The negating of a win if it's over a "blown up" opponent doesn't work if that opponent has established himself with quality wins in the higher division. Rigondeaux vs Lomachenko, there is a point to be made, but Trinidad's loss to Hopkins was sandwhiched between wins over top 10 middles. Should Dawson's or Kovalev's wins over Hopkins be negated, because he was a career middleweight?

    What's with all these stipulations? RJJ Tito Taylor are all clearly better than anyone Jacobs or GGG beat. There is no one that GGG faced that is better than RJJ period end of discussion. He also holds wins over Pavlik and Winky and Tarver

    Jacobs wasn't even a title holder . Pavlik held the WBC strap and was also the Ring and Lineal MW Champion.

    Pavlik is clearly a way better opponent and win than Jacobs.

    When Martinez fought Murray he was a broken down old man with one hand and one leg , and Murray STILL couldn't beat him. :facepalm:


    To make matters worse , Murray had to fight dirty to gain an advantage against this old broken down Sergio. .

    Thats how useless Murray was. He restored to kneeing Sergio's injured leg because he wasn't good enough to outbox him.

    There's the proof that Martinez had a busted hand. ^


    Here's info on the extent of his leg injury.

    Boxrec eh? Nobody with real knowledge of Pavlik's career would even attempt to argue that post Hopkins Pavlik, was anything more than an alcoholic shell of his former self. Jacobs KO's that guy.

    And what does Lineal really mean? Its nothing but a title. Fringe contenders have been the Lineal Champ before.

    You mean the same chinny Jacobs who was dropped and put on ***** st by feather-fisted Mora and destroyed by Pirog. A guy with Kelly's power would have knocked Jacobs into next week and Jacobs can be caught cold a recipe for disater against the Ghost. Kelly also had an iron chin. Pavlik actually beat elite fighters unlike Jacobs whose best win is Quillen.

    Hear ye, hear ye: as we approach thirty pages on this subject, of which maybe three could fit all the pertinent, respectful, on-topic debate that has taken place, take heed...

    From the start of page 30 onward, there is going to be a "one strike and you're out" system in place. You will be asked to curtail any conversation that is straying too far on a tangent, or devolving into ad hominem or unproductive mudslinging. If you do not obey the warning, your posts will be removed - and if you throw a tantrum about that corrective action, then so will you.

    Discuss nothing ITT but the merits of GGG & Maravilla vis-à-vis their respective ATG middleweight rankings. If you want to engage in circumlocution to make some convoluted point, you had better find a way to keep it self-contained and circle it back onto the main topic within that same post. Do not reply to anyone else's circumlocutions as your only contribution in a given post. The main thrust in here will continue to be what it was meant to be. Nothing else.

    We all Gucci on that?
