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.
Sergio is not that shot that a light middle could beat him. Even with one leg he beats Canelo.

Sergio is a small middleweight and probably weighs about the same as Alvarez on fight night. He's also claimed that he can make 154 easy over the last few years. I just dont see size as really a factor here.
Ftr I'm not saying the man is shot but I think his legs could be. Whether its lactic acid issues or muscle depletion. It happens. Leonard had no legs left after the 12th in the Hagler fight but he was not shot obviously as a fighter.
I addition I think Alvarez learned more in the loss to Floyd then most likely all the fights that came before it. I just dont see this as a mismatch at all at this stage and believe Martinez will continue to slide. Not everybody continue at close to 40 like Moore or Hopkins. Its all for not though because the chances of this fight happening in the present climate is slim to none and slim's vanished.
