    Again its difficult because ive only seen Martinez against Bunema and Cintron and whilst i think he beat Cintron i dont think he that much better than someone like Moore, although i would prolly go for Martinez because he has more experience at this level and because of the speed disparity, speed counts for a a lot in Boxing imo.

    Not to say Moore is slow but i think he is a little too conventional to beat Martinez. Moore was struggling with Andrew Facey before.
    havent seen moore/facey. how much was moore struggling? does martinez impress you?

    to be honest i think people are getting carried away with jamie moore due to him beating washed up EU fighters.

    i think martinez would give him a lesson or two about boxing.

        cant see many great match-ups for him in his division either
        Joe wasn't exciting either but you're nestled between his ass-cheeks.

        Jacobs will easilly overtake Sloppy Joe.

          Pretty badly, and Facey whilst unorthodox and akward, he is well short of World Class.

          Well that is basically the same opinion i hold, but i did not wanna be too hard on Moore incase you were a fan. I think he is a Euro level fighter that has a window of opportunity, but only because of how poor the division is.

          I believe European level fighters (Moore) have held World Titles before but i dont recognize them as World Class fighters, they are just around at the right place right time imo.

            totallt agree. have to get my hands on him and the facey fight. cant belive he was struggling with him. hope martinez fights him and beats him sooner rather than later.

              To be fair to Moore, Facey fights like Carlos Maussa's black step brother, so in a way i can see why he struggled a bit, but for my money he is just a solid good Euro level fighter that COULD win a World Title under the right circumstances but he is no Winky Wirght.

                yeah a prime winky at 154 would destroy moore. do you think moore would beat cintron?

                  That would be a more even fight imo.

                  Cintron had his troubles with Jesse Feliciano, so it definitely concievable he could lose to Moore, however he seems to have changed his style a bit since then, he is not loading up with every punch, so i think id still roll with Cintron because he has competed with Champions and contenders on the World stage.

                    JCC Jr - *if he counts as a prospect* but I'd have to say berto (unless he doesn't count as a prospect either* So for me its angulo, although i do believe he was sick for the fight, i still think he probably wouldn't have won, although i was/still am rooting for him - That or possible that cuban kid, his name is excaping me at the moment, bad ass fighter but way to open and has been dropped a few times already (flash knockdowns though)

                      Ortiz recently dumped himself into this category.
