I honeslty still would pick either one of them to beat him more often than not. The mistakes he makes are too many and too big against guys this good. He would obviously have a better chance against the less defensive savy Pacquiao, but he makes so many errors, and the way he was in trouble in his last fight against a guy who just didn't open up really showed me how overrated he is. Roach isn't talking out of his ass when he is saying Martinez is simply a great athlete, but not a great fighter.
