    martinez is fast, but not the fastest jr MW ever. that's a stretch.

      Lets have everyone jump the Martinez train and then collide it. Should be fun Nah seriously i wish him the best. Williams should be a good fight and a PPV for Martinez where he will be the star at long last.

        I suggest Hector Camacho as the fastest Jr.Middle. with Roy Jones a very close second.

            Lampley said this during the Willaims fight, I can't say it's true.

            Martinez can certainly be in the discussion though, next to the Jr. Middleweight version of Shane Mosley and Terry Norris.

              Martinez is not faster than Spinks.

                    I don't even think Martinez puts his punches together that fast. He counters fast or takes advantage of mistakes fast. His combination's seem fast but the guy's mentioned by other posters have better hand speed I think.

                    Watched 4 of his fights and lots of replay looking for his speed. Because Pavlik said he did not have tons of speed. And I was wondering if it was true. I think its true if you watch his right following a jab or something its not that fast. He is fast though.
