    I think you'd have to favour B-Hop he is the bigger guy, better all-rounder but I think he'd have a real hard time with Sergio's jab in particular, his movement and handspeed.

    B-Hop decision I'd of thought but I don't think its an easy fight as some might expect. Can't help but think back to the Winky fights

      On thing people seem to forget is Hopkins power at Middleweight. Hopkins took out dudes that had what was considered an granite chin. Hopkins had the perfect mix of skills and athletic gifts. I'd have Hopkins winning a wide UD because Martinez style would not work well with a prime middleweight Hopkins.

        Martinez all day, Hopkins always lost too the very good athletic fighters. Martinez would take the early rounds, lose the mid rounds and then come back in the late rounds to win a 7-5 decision.

          Hopkins without a doubt, very solid fundaments and bigger, will do things Cotto couldn't!

            Hopkins by KO or UD depending on what version of Hopkins. Young Hopkins KO. Older Hopkins decision.

              Prime for prime, Hopkins stops Martinez. Can't see it going any other way.

                Hopkins wins without a doubt. Hopkins is one of the best if not the best middleweight in the history of boxing. 20 successful title defenses in a row. Matinez is one of the worst middleweight champions. He won the title from a Pavlic who had lost interest in boxing and fought at 50% or less than his best. Martinez was KOed by Margarito. He lost to Paul Williams and he drew with Cintron. Maybe those decisions were unfair to Martinez but Hopkins would go through Cintron and Williams like a sharp hot knife through warm butter. Prime Hopkins KOs Cintron with ease. The 50 year old Hopkins still beats Martinez easily.

                  Sorry about the mistake. I meant to say prime Hopkins KOs Martinez with ease and 50 year old Hopkins still easily beats Martinez. I said Cintron by mistake.
