Martinez doesn't have very good stamina. He took practically a three whole rounds off in the middle of the Pavlik fight and him gassing out down the stretch of the Williams fight is a big cause of him losing that fight outside of that one judge who already had the scorecard filled out for Paul Williams before the fight started. To beat Floyd Mayweather, you at least got to have stamina that is on par with him because we saw what happened to Shane Mosle for gassing out. And Martinez's endurance is I don't know if I would say as bad as Mosley's, but it's not great either.
Williams might not be as technically sound as Martinez is, but he does a better job at punching in combinations than Martinez does, and the fact that he would keep coming at Floyd and not get tired even if he was behind in the fight would make him a more live opponent.
The fact that Martinez brings more to the table now being the champ at 160, and Williams letting his pride get in the way trying to show Pavlik that he wasn't gonna play games with those cancellations of their fight is why Martinez is in a hell of a lot better of a position than Paul Williams. I tried to explain that to Burner and still do. But it seems that he doesn't want to listen to me.
