Would a prime Sergio Martinez beat GGG?

That's bull****. GGG is fast when he wants to be. Take a look at the left hook - right uppercut combination in the last fight. That uppercut broke Rubio. Don't miss it, it was fast !

 

Matthew Macklin said as much in so many words. He is a smart guy and is best placed to compare them, having fought both. Despite being a close personal friend of Sergios these days, Mack states clearly that GGG is a lot better.

His view must be taken seriously IMO.

 

GGG absolutely destroys any version of Sergio, past, present or future

Maravilla ain't half the fighter GGG is, and never was not even at his best

GGG would also trash anyone on Maravilla's resume way easier than Sergio did

Pavlik, Williams, Ganja kid, you name it

see Macklin fight for reference. anything Sergio could do, GGG can do it better

 

To be fair Sergio went up to MW cause nobody at jrMW wanted to fight him... and was still able to rule the division at his midle thirties... big respect.

 

you don't know **** about boxing, go back to the trailer park

 

Wrong one thing Martinez has that ggg doesn't is speed he is faster and is an all around better athlete than triple g.martinez would also thrash anyone on triple g's resume.don't let his last two fights fool you prime martinez wasn't p4p number 3 for nothing.

 

i think it has the potential to be like tszyu vs judah, but it may last longer.

 

one thing ive always loved about Sergio


Is that he is someone who can be considered somewhat of a “finesse” fighter but he has always showed huge heart and balls when need be. It is what makes him a true champion, even in fights when he was getting walked down and knocked down he dug down and pulled out the last few rounds on pride and heart alone. I think he has a good shot against GGG. GGG will have a harder time landing shots against a slick southpaw

 

He went up to MW because all the PED's he was taking put additional muscle on his frame.

A random guy languishes in Argentina his whole career with a 50% KO rate then he comes to Murica and starts flattening top fighters.

You do the math...

 

or it could be that he just started boxing really late at age 21 and got better with experience.

 

No doubt about it Martinez has heart in the chavez fight when he got knocked down and messed up his knee he got right back up and went toe to toe with chavez no running no holding.if only he started boxing when he was 10 instead of 20.

 

Absolutely. Agree 100%. No one has more respect for Sergios amazing achievements than me, believe me. :good

 

Prime Martinez ducked GGG. That pretty much answers your question.

 

yeah right triple g was a nobody when Martinez was still prime.triple g's first fight in america was against proska in sept 2012 the same month Martinez beat chavez jr hurting his knee in the process that was the last time we saw prime Martinez.:deal
