    1. Martinez's punch resistance is inferior to Ali's

    2. Martinez's skillset is vastly inferior to Ali's. That includes defense and nullifying tactics like clinching or pushing your opponent.
    Same can be said for GGG, Foreman is easily a top 5 heavyweight, GGG isn't the same at middleweight and hasn't beaten a single fighter close to Norton, let alone Frazier.

      That's true but he has the skills to close the distance and hit Martinez flush, once they start fighting up close Martinez would be a sitting duck. Martinez needs to use those tactics that I mentioned in order to take the sting off of GGG's shots, but he can't. So we're not gonna see Ali/Foreman part 2.
