Martinez might be more entertaining but Calderon is the better all around more skilled fighter, although i like Rocky, i think his chin will give out against Guerrero, he was wobbled pretty damn bad against Cook and Cook has nothing on Guerrero when it comes to anything lol
In my post I wasn't mentioning "skill," so I am not sure why you would bring that up. Martinez's vulnerability makes his fights exciting and although Calderon has better defensive skills, I was bored to death watching his fight last night. Good defense, little offense. At least Whitaker and Mayweather were/are more offensive minded than Iron Boy.

If you have seen MANY of Martinez's fights like I have, you will know that Rocky has never, ever been hurt when he has gone down (he didn't even go down against Cook!). In fact, I compare those knockdowns to most of Trinidad's in his career-the flash knockdown variety. Win or lose, I believe that whoever Martinez fights at 130, the fight will be exciting.
Calderon used to fight with a more offensive yet counter puncher style, but now that he's coming in age, well he's defense first, & Whitaker and Mayweather didn't get into the pro game when they were in their late 20's now did they, nor did they hit their PEAK at around 33, and given how small he is the fact that Calderon is still the king of his division basically is a feat in itself, didn't say Cook dropped him now did i? i said Cook wobbled him something fierce, and that's a fact, re-watch the fight and it's obvious that Martinez was hurt, he recovered nicely and then came back to stop Cook badly, that's what made his win so impressive, but IMO out of all the main champs that PR has right now (Cotto, Santos, Lopez, Calderon, & Martinez) i'd say Martinez is the most beatable, and i seriously think that a motivated Guerrero will beat Martinez
