    Default Canelo vs. Martinez at 160?

    What do you think of that match-up? This of course assumes Martinez beats Cotto next and assumes Martinez would leave HBO for a fight with Canelo on Showtime.

    It's a good matchup between old versus young. Assuming sergio is the same fighter after those two surgeries, I believe he's too fleet footed and quick fisted for canelo who needs a stationary target. Canelo doesnt know how to punch on the move . He needs to set his foot to throw effective shots and sergio wouldnt be there for him..

    Martinez looked terrible last time out. The phrase "growing old overnight" is often used but seldom witnessed. Getting injured in every fight and his legs looked gone even in the Chavez fight. He started boxing late in life and I think his cycling career has maybe come back to haunt him. I'm not sure that he gets past Cotto should it occur.

    What I find amazing is that if you watch round 12 of the Martinez-Junior fight, you see that Martinez started getting into a groove at the end of the round. Junior actually tired out after dominating Martinez in the first part of the round. What a great showing of heart by the champion.

    Canelo is very comfortable at making the light middleweight limit so he will not venture up to middleweight just yet. He has a few more years at light middleweight.

    If Martinez has knee issues cycling is the best way to improve it.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I don't think Alvarez has that raging desire in his gut to the legs of Martinez. Martinez may be showing some holes but they are not big enough for Canelo to climb through, no way. Too big, too mobile and too Martinez. You ease up and play along with Mayweather, I kinda get that, but Trout..I'll never understand what he thinking there.

    I get all that but disagree, as I personally think Martinez is half shot to pieces and may well show further decline whenever he fights again. Would expect Trout to out "Martinez" Martinez to be honest And I really liked Sergio a few years back.
