    while hbo will say its martinez without a question,

    and will show how he beat previous hbo darlings as proof.(we all know that the real champions are on hbo, non hbo fighters are just belt holders and belts dont mean anything unless an hbo fighter has one)

    i dont agree, and dont get me wrong i am a fan of him but i dont really think
    he can beat all the guys.

    martinez struggled with top 10 mackin, and even with barker.
    looked great against chavez but got to comfortable in there


    no on the other hand is
    golovkin the best???? he is the hardest puncher and dominates guys but he has not fought to many top guys

    pirog???very slick wonderful boxer but again similar to golovkin

    geale, good boxer, tries to unfiy belts unlike martinez and
    will go anywhere.

    strum, basically had a draw with geale,
    off and on long time champion,
    most hated fighter by hbo lol

    in my perfect world
    chavez fights macklin

    and we finally see Martinez against a top 3 guy???

    Martinez and GGG have to fight to ultimately determine that, but doubt we'll see that any time soon.

    Sergio Martinez is without a shadow of a doubt

    followed closley by Gennady Golovkin

    followed by Julio Cesar Chavez Jr

    Mathew Macklin

    Daniel Geale

    and so on

    Pirog is limited and not that good - Watch his fight with Martirosyan and others.

    Sturm is overrated and has one good punch in his arsenal

    Golovkin hasn't proved himself against better competition

    Geale is on Sturm's level, and perhaps Matthew Macklins level.


    Martinez should beat all of these.

    How about this for a fight schedule :

    GGG Vs JCC jr - WBA title

    Martinez Vs Geale - IBF/WBC unification

    And then the winners meet in a rematch with

    Mathew Macklin Vs Peter Quillin - WBO

    Sadly this is what well get :

    JCC Jr Vs Martinez 2

    Geale vs Soliman

    GGG vs Pirog

    Macklin Vs Proksa

    Quillin holding onto his WBO title for dear life

    golvkin can fight pirog, martinez can whip geales ass, chavez jr can fight macklin.
    All make sense. Pirog and golovkin can fight to see whose number two, the two guys that lost too martinez, and martinez to unify.

    Put this all on the same card an u have a helluva ppv!!
    Someone make me a promoter!! Lol

    pirog is limited????????do you see how good his technique is
    what is he exactly limited too?

    he just doesnt punch too hard

    strum, you are forgetting has an amazing defense to go along with that jab

    your saying that martinez should beat all of them
    maybe???
    but bottom line is that
    GGG,pirog,geale,strum are top5 guys and martinez has not faced them

    what he as face is guys that are 5-10
    chavez,macklin,barker

    and has had problems in each fight,

    now how is this proof that he will defeat
    better guys top 5 guys???

    No they don't. Martinez has been consistently taking on top middleweights, not to mention the legitimate lineal champion, while Golovkin just took on his very first opponent in that class.

    Until someone proves otherwise, Martinez has to be considered the best MW.

    Bully for him. Nevertheless it's not like there's a lack of clarity on who the top middleweight in the world is.

    I want to see Martinez-Golovkin and Chavez-Geale next, with the winners fighting each other.

    Why? When Chavez Jr. was never really considered at the top of the division.
