    Of the three mentioned, he was by a good measure, the best boxer.

    I would pick him to beat Canelo, he's just too slick.

    I would make GGG a 50/50. If that went the distance, then Martinez should have it.

    Ggg is more tailor made for Martinez than Canelo because of the styles, ggg is slower with his punches and eats punches real easy

    He has the style to give them both hell but I question his durability. If he can stand up to their attack he wins.

    The jab would catch him over and over.The fight would probably go like the Kell brook fight just longer, maybe 8 rounds.Brook kept his hands up Sergio didnt.

    Whow knows, Canelo is very elusive, even when he gets hit with jabs they are hardly ever clean or have full impact.

    Lol, True but I don’t think he lands that shot on either GGG or Nelo or even the elephant for that matter!

    Martinez is too sloppy, GGG eats him up in 9 rounds and Canelo wins a easy decision.

    Don't think the very best Martinez could hang with the GGG who fought Lemieux.

    Excellent cutting off the ring, ramrod jab, iron chin. Sergio gets cut down in 8 or less.

    Now Clenelo on the other hand....
    Clen isn't a natural hunter in the ring. This would be very interesting. You really have to favor Sergio (with full VADA testing of course)

    Tony Ko'd Sergio & Sergio never asked for a rematch
    A 100% Sergio was a great fighter it would have been a barn burner

    I think Martinez, that eras BHOP, and Pavlik haul off on both of them.

    At that stage I can forgive him, GGG would've killed him, he had no legs..2/3 round fight
