    GGG might win but it won't be easy. Prime Martinez has speed GGG never faced.

    no more than 3-4 rounds. It needs just 1 shot to wobble Martinez. He has some bad chin

    It's a good fight, IMO.

    Golovkin hasn't seen that kind of speed, power and movement in a fighter yet. I'd say Golovkin around the 8th.

    A year ago these polls used to be close. What a difference a year can make.

    Golovkin would of exposed his chin, would of been a little competitive though

    Good point! Though I do think Golovkin would win, if you'd asked me after Sergio's fight against Dzin I'd definitely have said Sergio. People forget how much of a monster he was; that KO of Williams is literally the best KO I have ever seen. After the Chavez fight, I thought Martinez was the only real threat to May at 154.

    In hindsight however, even though he did dispatch of the likes of Macklin and Barker, scrape a very questionable win against Murray - I think Golovkin blows all these away with utter ease.

    I think a prime Martinez edges Golovkin.

    Martinez had an helluva chin, mobility, a huge reach, and tremendous stamina (from a former cyclist...)

    I think prime Martinez would have won at points.

    I'm not sold on Golovkin yet. He looked incredibly sloppy both against Geale and in his last fight.

    He missed a ton of shots in his last two fights, and he's incredibly easy to hit.

    Golovkin is undoubtedly strong and has a very good chin, granite i would say based also in his amateur WARS, but against a skilled, elusive, highly mobile and unscared opponent like prime Martinez or Ward, he would look really bad, missing a ton or never having the oppoertunity to plant his feet.

    There would be nothing to expose. Martinez's chin has been tested a lot, and if 12 rounds of full force hooks from a 190 lbs opponent cannot stop a middleweight , this is what in boxe is called an IRON chin.

    Educate yourself, go watch Martinez-Paul Williams 1, and then shut up for good if you don't know things. :-(
