Triple G vs Martinez???

[Rantcatrat]

Frankly, it's a great match-up. Martinez is coming off of a big surgery on his knee. Martinez relies on being able to zip in and out against opponents. If he can't move around the ring with the same ease, he'll be in trouble against a monster like Golovkin. In addition, if he has retained that speed of foot, Golovkin would eventually walk through his punches. If, however, Martinez has the same ability to move, I see Golovkin getting outboxed in a decision.

The fight I most want to see for Golovkin is a unification fight with Quillin, assuming Martinez beats Murray and fights Junior in September, and Junior beats Macklin (rumored opponent). None of which is set in stone.

I wish Martinez would take on Golovkin (or for that matter, Quillin or Geale) instead of facing Junior again, but hey there's more money in a Junior fight. On that note, I hope Martinez sticks by his requirement Junior take VADA drug tests this time. I sincerely doubt that Junior can make 160 legally.

At this stage I'd take martinez, by KO

But Martinez is getting older & little cracks have begun to appear

If Martinez leaves it to long I'd favour GGG

I think Golo needs more seasoning and high end experience first. He gets nicked by a fair share of throw away left hooks from what I've seen. You don't go from pounding on blown up jr middleweights trying to survive (sorry Ishida, but we know why he and his 8 kos but warriors chin are up next) to bullying in on a guy of Martinez pedigree and not paying dearly. Martinez is older and seemingly has spots of susceptibility but he always finds a way to win and solve an opponent. This one won't happen next month...but next month I think Martinez marks him up badly and takes a dec. or tko on cuts, bumps and lumps.

This really depends on when it happens. Now I'd take Martinez but in a years time I might think differently. Golovkin isn't ready for Martinez now. Sergio is fading though and takes far too many punches for someone who fights hands down. He can't rely on those reflexes forever.

If GGG is not ready for Martinez, is he ready for Jcc Jr? How do you see that fight?

If this fight took place in six months to one year, I'd pick Martinez but let's reserve judgement until we see his condition in his next defense.

I think it'll be close. Junior gets alot of stick but his chin is solid and I'd like to see what Golovkin does when someone doesn't fall and keeps on coming.

Sergio has no interest in someone like GGG! He prefers to fight someone who doesn't even know how to throw a jab, and that someone is also a "meal ticket"! I don't blame Sergio for searching for the best pay day but in an era where champions are cherry picking all the time the two middleweight champions could & should fight each other! Its a shame when decent fighters refuse to challenge themselves to fight the best competition. My guess is GGG is willing! Ray.
