Sergio Martinez vs John Mugabi

[dan_cov]

I didn't even realize when quoting SCTrojan that he actually said Martinez has more power than Mugabi.

We are all entitled to our opinions...even when they're ABSURD. I think Martinez is a better fighter than Mugabi, but anyone who wants to (pretends) think Martinez could punch harder than Mugabi is a buffoon.

It is debatable IMO
Mugabi didn't knock anybody out or even drop anybody worth knowing for that matter
Sure he was crushing cans but when he stepped up his power was wasn't to be found.

Martinez on the other hand is knocking out & dropping world class fighters with granite chins. Time after time he is stopping guys who haven't even been down before.

Call me a buffoon but I think Sergio's power is far more proven at world level.

It's his ideology. Trojan thinks the weakest punchers of today punch much harder than the biggest punchers of the 80s so natually Martinez MUST punch harder than Mugabi :nuts9:

Curtis Parker was KOd in one round by Mugabi. Parker went head-to-head with the best middleweight contenders of the early 80's and none of them stopped him.....don't even think any hurt him. Mugabi bombed him in one round.

Believe me, John Mugabi was a much bigger puncher than Martinez. Mugabi will make many historians biggest punchers list decades from now, while Martinez won't be on anyone's.

Again, Martinez is a superior fighter, but not on Mugabi's level for punching power.

These ''historians'' will say anything in an attempt of saying these old timers was superior to the modern day fighter. You only have to look how highly they rate fighters with as many or more losses as wins to realise this.

How the fcuk can you put a fighter with say 40+ losses, 50 odd draws in the top 50 ever, seriously?

Parker was never world class, he fought a handful of top 10-20 guys and lost everytime.
Mugabi was a very good puncher no doubt but he was no world class puncher. A poor mans Miranda.
He was no Benn, G-man, Hearns, Hagler.

Changed my opinion since then. Martinez suffers a knockdown en route to a 116-112 esque decision. Beats the Beast to the punch and is able to move off fast enough for the somewhat robotic Mugabi, who tries very hard but just can't time Martinez who in this instance is too slick.

Just curious as to who you're referring to.

Martinez is better in every conceivable way. Heck I am not even sure if Mugabi beats Daren Barker
