Make him climb up 40 pounds, challenge any 3-time world champion, and then give up another 17 pounds weight advantage to his opponent at fight night. If Martinez beats the living shit out of that guy, then maybe Pac or Floyd will move over for him.![]()
He's already above Floyd, in MY book. Floyd's inactivity and cherry-picking are just plain sickening, and IMO he's just resting on past laurels and letting his "legions" of fans (slowly working themselves down to a few dozen) do the talking for him. What am I saying... Floyd also carries his own torch. No, Floyd's not even # 2 right now. That position goes to someone like Martinez, who is busy fighting to deserve the spot.
Martinez is the most impressive fighter in the world right now and is clearly the most handsome too. He should be a megastar. There is no cherry picking from this guy and he beats up whoever you put in front of him. With Floyd you have massive inactivity and cherry picking such as beating up on LW's. With Pac you have in house manipulation and fighting men who are pushing 40. With Martinez what you have is the real deal, no questions asked.
He has done a Calzaghe in that it is a late career bloom, but unlikel Calzaghe, this man can actually bust people up.

I have Martinez #2 in my book, behind pac. Floyd doesn't fight enough to be #2 in my opinion. Martinez very well could be #1 pretty soon here, if pac keeps picking shot fighters to face.
The mythical p4p no. 1 is usually based on resume, longevity against top level opposition, and p4p wise who would win if size was taken out. Martinez current resume is impressive, but it still pales to Floyd and Pac's current and overall resume. Not to mentioned if they were all the same size, I still favor Pac and Floyd over Martinez. To be p4p no.1 it takes some serious consistency, longevity, and fighting top level opposition year in and year out. But hey this p4p stuff is all subjective anyway.
Jones started at 160 ended up a heavyweight, he beat John Ruiz who weighed 226 the night before the fight while Jones weighed 193, therefore 30+ lbs difference on the night before the fight don't even wanna imagine fight night, and he won by a dominant UD without the need of a catchweight, even more impressive is the fact that he just jumped passed Cruiserweight all together
I've never understood the need to shit on one boxer to try and make another look better. You'd think we'd all hype both or why fight a guy who you can argue in one way or another is garbage. Best vs the best i say...anyhoo. All three of these guys are the shit and it's why they all get the attention they do. Yes welcome another big time player to the field. Martinez is no joke. I'm a backer of donaire dude is bad ass too. But not a proven bad ass as these three !!! This sport is getting more and more interesting all the time.
