I never said Martin wasn't a risk. Anybody that is unexposed could be potentially better than their record suggests. I've made this point numerous times over the years, including about Andre Ward going into the super six comp.
The comparison? On paper they have a common opponent - Love. They both fought him last year. AJ slaughtered him in mere minutes. Martin was a minute from needing 10 rounds to hear the judges verdict.
Does this mean AJ will beat Martin? No. "On paper" it highlights that AJ has a superior piece of form. That's all.
In my opinion AJ has fought a superior level of opposition to Martin overall. I don't rate Glazkov, he's a non-punching small heavyweight. I don't regard a win against someone that hits the deck, like they've been shot, without receiving a punch as meaning much.
