I think it is time to reevaluate Martinez. Yes, he KOed Williams, but watch the slo-mo. Martnez had his head sticking out past his feet, his face pointed directly at the canvass, and his eyes closed when that shot landed. Not many top fighters would get caught like that.
Ten days before the Martinez fight Pavlik checked out of The Betty Ford Center weighing 180 pounds. Pav continued drinking, dropped 20 pounds in 10 days, and still managed to win 4 or 5 rounds, black Sergio's eyes, and put him on his butt.
Martinez is not the beast people seem to think he is. He's just a decent fighter who was in the right place at the right time.
