Am I the only one who thinks a fight between Mora and Martinez should be decent?
IMO Martinez would win but Mora actually deserves the shot seeing how he was initially lined up to take on Pavlik in the first place, before being brushed aside to start negotiations between Pavlik and Williams.

What do you guys think?

Mora hasn't looked good since he beat Forrest in fact on the B Hop undercard he looks like he's already slipping. I would much rather see Winky fight Martinez then Mora.

i agree with the winky fight but again for a first defence mora or winky wouldnt be a bad shout for martinez

Winky or Mora would both be fine fights for Martinez. He deserves a bit of a gimme for his first defense. I think Mora is arguably more deserving, Winky hasn't done shit but lose for the last 3 years, but he's the bigger name. I think. Martinez beats either of them handily though, but I think a prime or close to prime Winky would give him a good fight and perhaps even beat him.

Yea the guy has fought Kermit Cintron, Paul Williams and Kelly Pavlik his last 3 fights. Before that he fought ALEX BUNEMA.



Give the guy a break with an easier opponent. Winky and Whitaker are my 2 favorite fighters of all time so I will be rooting for him. He should have been the middleweight champion and would have beat Pavlik first. Then he went to high in weight and got out-dirtied versus Hopkins in what was hardly a fair fight. B-Hop's dirtiest performance ever, it wasn't fair and he still almost won.

Sadly I don't think his legs are quite there. There were signs inr the Hopkins fight and in the about 6 minutes I've watched of Williams-Wright, he isn't the same P4P number 2/3 Winky of years past.

Mora struggled with some nobody last fight in his first fight back from being dominated by Vernon Forrest. I honestly don't put much into his win over Forrest, it isn't like he put on a masterclass he just knew how to take advantage of an old man in Forrest having a waaay off night.

I still thought that that fight was much closer then others made it out to be. Mora has nothing that presents any sort of challenge to Martinez. Winky might not either but he's way more proven at this weight and who knows maybe the quick (for Winky anyways) helps.

for Martinez I dont think its too bad of a fight, Winkys well known in the USA and hes more than capable of winning the fight. Martinez should keep away from Floyd I think at this stage, for a first title defence a name like Winky aint too bad imo
