    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.
    "The way he was in trouble" sergio didn't look spectacular but at no point in the fight was he in anything that can be described as in trouble.
    He was in trouble tactically, not physically. There were times where he was lined so badly he couldn't get off or get out of the way of Baker's punches.

    don't see how he was in trouble tactically when he was dominating his opponent, Barker made him work more and put up a less than stellar showing but Martinez was winning the fight by a landslide, at the very most Barker won like 2 rounds and Martinez still landed the stronger cleaner punches
