I dunno, Martinez just seemedto be falling apart in his last fight, and I've always thought he was overrated to begin with. To me, Golovkin looks a lot better than Sergio ever did.

Again, I think GGG should stay at 160 for a while, but he's a far cry from just a puncher. He doesn't rely on his physicality or fight in spurts, very patient and calculated approach. No reason to start lumping him in with an Arthur Abraham just yet.
I cant agree with Martinez overrated to begin with. He beat very good fighters in Williams
and Pavlik at middle where he was the smaller man. He made a show of Chavez who we all know was overrated but is still a good scalp. He also has a very fun style to watch and imo deserves the credit he is getting now as I dont think he got enough credit earlier in his career. His last few fights tho (particularly the Murray fight) he is clearly showing signs of decline and the fact that he is constantly getting injured really shows his age is having an affect. I personally dont want to see him fight GGG because I think it would end badly for
Martinez and would much prefer to see him go out on a high rather then a low. If i was him Id fight the winner of Geale v Barker (probably Geale) and if he wins that retire at the top.
With that. He's a compliment to the sport in a time of loud mouth puffed up divas collecting trinkets. His style isn't for everyone but I'd rather a guy come professional, work his ass off and save his cockiness for the ring and back it up. He and Golovkin are at that point this sport has been paved with and a crossroads meet can only be expected, personally I'd like to see it come off. Physically Golovkin might make him feel every month of his age in his legs but I guarantee damn tee you Martinez won't just lay down and hand over what he's labored to earn and style wise show Golovkin some serious new suprises. If not Martinez, give me Quillin. I like that one!
