De la Hoya was the only reason that the WW division gets real credit for that time period. For a man that was absolutely one dimensional he never even learned to cut off the ring. He just followed boxers around. BHop showed him what following a great boxer around gets you. Oscar handled him pretty easy until he gassed out. If he would have caught the generation before his or the one we are in the midst of, he would taken more major ass whoopins. That era wasnt awful but closer to mediocure than great.

And, it doesn't worry you that Martinez relies to much athleticism and he often fights with his hands down? That might be his demise against Tito no?
Plus he's stamina is not the best out there either. I mean with Pavlik it seemed like he took a couple rounds off just to have stamina at the end. Can he afford to take rounds off against somebody like Tito?
Plus he's chin is also some what questionable still...
I would honestly pick Tito in that fight. I can see Tito getting outbox early but in the middle rounds I can see him being in control with his pressure, I can see him landing enough shots to slow Martinez down, can fight with your hands down against Tito. And, I can see Tito stopping Martinez late in the fight or Martinez gets on his bike and run for his life like Oscar did.

Originally posted by romebyko View PostI respectfully disagree,Martinez does take breaks but it's hard to take full advantage..Martinez is a fighter that uses your aggression against you..I always felt Tito did not get credit for his boxing ability(he was decent)but Martinez is leagues above him..I see Martinez being a lil to slippery for Tito,let's not forget Tito's chin..He was not running in crazy for B-Hop who walk Tito into shots all night..I think he would always have trouble with boxers who move,Oscar,B-Hop..I see Martinez lasting and knocking Tito down a few times..
Again Hopkins, bigger guy, taller guy, and more importantly very skillful(more so than Martinez) and fundamentally sound levels above Martinez. I mean yea he didn't run crazy do Hopkins(but Tito didn't run crazy to Hopkins) but Hopkins is really not a fair comparison. Not only is different skillset and different fundamentals. You would not see Hopkins with his hands by his waist. Especially against somebody as accurate as Tito? That's like suicide man. And, if you Martinez, in every fight he puts his hands on his waist, he would do it with Tito and that won't be good for him. He can take rounds off against Pavlik but a prime Tito is a different animal. You don't take rounds off against Tito. Martinez is a very talented fighter. Maybe arguably the best fighter right now. But, his slipperiness is overrated. He gets his and he gets hit often. And, Tito would touch him up.
