Humberto Soto or linares would beat him right now. Everyone else he can beat I think.

Wow. Humberto Soto has to be up there as one of the most overrated boxers of my time. He's like a small Kelly Pavlik, no good against A-Class fighters.

I've only seem him fight once and that was against Nicky Cook, so you can't really take much from that win because Nicky Cook isn't very good. One of his WBO mandatories will be against Kevin Mitchell and that won't be easy because Mitchell is miles better then Cook.

Roman "Rocky" Martinez is a pretty good fighter, trust me he has all around skills, he can box, he can brawl, he can pressure, I've seen like 4 or 5 of his fights and he has great wins over Daniel Jimenez, Francisco Lorenzo and now Nicky Cook.

taylor was an A-class fighter and pavlik defeated him twice
plus i dont think roman martinez is an a class fighter he gets dropped easily and was getting punished before he landed that monster upper

Rocky wasn't getting punished until he landed the uppercut, he won round one and three, the only round you could say he got "punished" was round two because he got hit cleanly.

I like him. But I like Kevin Mitchell better, I think Kevin Mitchell will get him. That will be a firefight and Mitchell seems to the better chin.

What's your take on him? I've seen his last win over Nick Cook and he looked good.

What do you guys think of him?

He is a very tough fghter, he cab box, but is forte is pressuring and combination punching. His Ko record doesnt show it but he is the hardest puncher at 130 right now. His liability is his defense, wich he have to improve. But he have very fast hands and very good coordination. He just needs to polish some of his skills. And he is better when comming forward, even his defense is better when he is throwing punches.

The only guys who can beat him in the division right now, are Linares and Soto. But i give him a bigger chance at beating Soto, because Soo gets hi too much and Rocky can really crak.

If he keeps going to the right path, hell give us some exciting fights.

i recomend you watch his fights with Azuqita Jinemes and Benavides!!!!!!!!1
