He drew with Williams the first time around, and Paul was still really a super welterweight himself and stupidly easy to hit. Pavlik was coming off the HOpkins drupping and still gave Martinez a competitive fight, and those two scalps are about all Martinez needed to be regarded as a dominant champion in the eyes of many, I just never saw it. He didn't really do anything early in his career. I liked watching Sergio, very good athlete no question, but without his legs I don't think he's even a threat to Golovkin myself.
