Could a prime Sergio Martinez have beat GGG?

Ive Always thought that the Martinez that beat Pavlik, Fought Paul Williams twice would win..circa 2010

Yes, I think so, 50-50 fight.

Nope. Dibella wouldn't even risk prime Martinez against Pirog.

It would be a fight for the ages. Martinez's movement and slick boxing would give Golovkin fits. GGG's ability to cut off the ring would be tested for sure. Although I think Sergio would have alot of success on the outside. Maravilla was a master at measuring distance. GGG i think finds a way to score a KO in the final 2 rounds.

Yes. Golovkin's defence is leaky. Sergio would crack him with some sharp counters

I can see two endings. Prime Martinez outboxes him en route to a competitive decision or gets caught late after being ahead. Either way, I do not think Prime Sergio is a walk in the park for GGG

How is his defence leaky?

Never been knocked down, stunned or wobbled, yet a leaky defence? Are you high or just ******?

GGG would be marked up and battered and his toughness and heart would be tested

Martinez survived just as big of punchers as GGG like JCC jr, and a prime Pavlik and had shown the ability to stick tough when the going got tough with Paul Williams and was a sharp puncher himself

Martinez between the Pavlik and Dzinziruk fights was a beast...speed, good power and saavy

He aint walking through Maravilla's punches like Geale
