    I think Sergio would get stopped possibly while ahead on points.

    Sergio had a good very decent chin not once was he ever KO'd by a head shot.
    Margarito stopped him while he was standing up after a barrage of body shots, Cortez jumped in too soon.
    1st Williams KD was bad balance.
    Pavlik hit him on the top of the head while he was moving backward while bending over, balance.
    Macklin pushed him over his knee, balance.
    Chavez Jr. had headbutted him bad enough to cause a massive cut right across the temple, which does affect your balance badly, then hit him on the temple repeatedly probably concussing him further and still couldn't stop him.
    Both Murray shots came when he was moving backward. balance.
    Cotto couldn't KO him and he was a defenseless sitting duck with bad legs and had a concussion that affected his balance for the whole fight, Sarmiento KO'd him not Cotto.

    These are not excuses, this is the reality Sergio was awkward as hell and always off balance. That happens when your main line of defense is bobbing and weaving and leg movement.

    GGG would drop Sergio, but in his prime he would have outboxed him and won on points

    Golovkin would beat him down so bad that if he jumped off a dime into a teardrop, he'd drown.:deal

    Yon don't ever leave your hands down against GGG, not even if you're the faster fighter.

    You can fight with your hands down against certain types of fighters, but guys with good technique and timing will always catch up and land clean. Look at how much faster was Judah compared to Tszyu and look at how Tszyu knocks him out.

    Martinez will do well for like 4-5 rounds, but GGG will catch him or wear him down.

    Prime Martinez who had super close fight with Paul Williams?

    the one who 'only' outpointed Pavlik by a few rounds after he was schooled and 12-0ed by a 44 year old Hopkins?

    That doesn't really matter against GGG. Martinez was tagged by all those guys you mention, if GGG tags him he probably finishes him. GGG is a ridiculously hard hitting middleweight, Martinez is an ex welterweight.

    Only outpointed him 8 to 4, and the 4 Pavlik edged were close, discounting the BS KD, Martinez ripped Kelly to pieces rewatch the fight.

    Exactly. Only someone like a prime Roy Jones Jr could maybe get away with doing that against GGG and even then it's still only a maybe.

    It was close until the last few rounds.

    Martinez was dropped but never hurt.

    GGG has never dealt with someone like Martinez. And take into account too that Martinez had KO power too. GGG is very hittable and boxers who are slow have been able to hit him.

    Prime Martinez makes GGG look ridiculous all night. Martinez would wreck him.
