      In terms of style Martinez does resemble him.

      Southpaw,fights ambidextrous,same pop in both hands,throws many punches altough obviously not in Calzaghe's league,much of no one is in his league there unless you're talking Williams but there ends the similarities there.

      Bute and Martinez in the game today are IMO the best Calzaghe imitators.

            Yeah that would almost make him.

            But Calzaghe had more ring IQ than both of them.

              Bute, has decent handspeed, good workrate. Slightly more pop but less smarts.

              Even looks like his less handsome Romanian Cousin.

                martinez is a southpaw like joe and they both seem to play alot, you never se calzaghe or martinez serious in the ring they both keep both hands down at times they both cut of the ring well, i honestly don't know how you don't see the similarities

                    Definitely Lucian Bute, he reminds me of Calzaghe with his flurries, but he's not in Calzaghe's league, he gasses after 10.
