If we can get Martinez to stop feasting on euro level guys and get him in the ring with GGG, who wins this at 160?
The slick Martinez with his speed and hands held low
Or the slower but equally gifted hard hitting GGG?
Lulz wtf Trout couldn't handle Canelo's power with him throwing 10 punches a round. Golovkin would massacre Austin inside 4 rounds.
He has been posting a lot of nonsense.
They are both pretty overrated by Martinez would still whoop GGG.
Trout should move up and fight Golovokin...He would win pretty easily imo.

i don't be but i'll be tempted to put serious money on GGG if this happens. sergio may outbox him a bit but he's slowed down and has been very hittable. hands down fighting won't work to well against a heavy puncher like GGG.
agrreed lol

If Martinez is at 100% he beats GGG, maybe even stops him. Martinez was not 100% tonight; not even 70% really...

I hope he is able to recover from his injuries...

After tonight, you'd have to be crazy to favor Martinez. I give each guy a 50/50 chance, just outta respect to Martinez.
If he gets through all these injuries, and becomes the "old" Martinez than I'd slightly favor Martinez, but at 38, I don't know about that.
As of tonight's performance Martinez would have a very slim chance to survive against GGG.
I don't believe he would get up if Gennady catches him clear.
Right now, I see Golovkin stopping Martinez; quite brutally as well. Like REALLY brutally.... I mean REALLY REALLY brutally. Martinez is a very good fighter, there's absolutely no doubt about that, but his style would play way too easily into Golovkin's hands; literally..
I'm not ready to say golovkin is P4P material... but i have always thought sergio is overrated just a bit... if Golovkin can manage more than Chavez 26 ppr... he should stop sergio.... but this fight wont happen as long as europe keeps ****ting out tall slow footed middleweights for martinez to feast on.

Golovkin is too strong and too skilled or any 160 pounder. He should just move up and take Ward's titles. Personally I think he beats Ward, Froch, and Kessler with relative ease.
I know GGG isn't as proven as Martinez, and Martinez is one of my favorite fighters. But... I just don't see this as a good style matchup for Martinez, especially considering his age and recent injury. Only way Martinez has a chance is if he continuously rocks GGG, but I don't see that happening.
I think a lot of people are confused by GGGS power. Everyone says Martinez is "too skilled" etc etc....
GGG is just as skilled and as good a boxer as ANY ONE out there. Dude has over 150 amateur fights. I'm sorry but you cannot be such a high profile and successful amateur boxer with purely just "punching power." That's laughable, at best.
GGG is a good boxer, who just happens to have incredible natural punching power. Just cause a guy KOs all of his opponents, doesn't mean he's a limited brawler with no speed and ability to adjust to any "boxer." If anything, the fact that he's KO'ing all of his pro opposition is just a plus, considering his amateur background.
This would be an incredible fight and the winner would SURELY be the top dog at 160 no question, and a sure "P4P" fighter. I have golovkin winning, but Martinez is very dangerous and could very well win and solidify his career/legacy with an incredible win here.
in fact GGG has over 300 amateur fights documented
IMO the jury is out on GGG. I like im an all, but until I see him in there with someone close to the top of the order, I'm not sold on him beating Martinez.
