I've read that Martinez responds poorly to being knocked down but as we know he requires surgery on his knee and when was KD'ed by a very very big man in Chavez he stood toe to toe and was making good account of himself.
I suppose it all depends on how old He'll get after the surgery, he is 38 years old and boxing is a young man's game. If he fight Canelo with the same athleticism and presence of mind that he had when fighting Chavez I think what you'll see is Martinez turning Canelo and pop shotting the young power puncher.
