    Not overly impressive.
    Not as impressive as your boy George "elite fighter" Groves, huh?

          martinez is one of the greatest middleweights of all time. a true class act and warrior. there won't be anyone like him in a long time.

          i'm glad to have witnessed such a marvelous man.

            Legit MW champ during a weak era, Thin resume. He's borderline HOF IMO a argument can be made for or against it.

                I wouldn't go that far.

                  I never said Geoge Groves is elite. When did I say that? He's far from elite.

                  I said Groves is world class. Which clearly he is.

                  Martinez is obviously a lot better than Groves is though.

                  Don't see what your point is here.

                    Well yeah he might get in considering the low standards. Still nt entirely sure he will.

                    Should he though? No way, IMO. By even close in my eyes.

                    His resume and reign is far from HOF worthy.

                      A great fighter. One of the best fighters I've had the pleasure of watching live (I'm only 21, so I missed a lot of the greats back in the day). Absolute gentleman of the sport and HOF worthy, in my opinion.

                      As a Cotto and a Martinez fan, I really had mixed emotions last night. It was awesome to see such a great performance by Cotto but it ****** so bad to see Sergio as a shell of himself. I hope Sergio retires. He had a great run, but his body is breaking down
