how do you think Sergio Martinez would be doing in the MW division today?

[Scopedog]

If he was in his prime, sure, he'd be great. But he was old and crippled by injury even when Cotto beat him.

[Chrismart]

He was a really good fighter, with an awkward style.
I'd pick GGG and Canelo over him, but they're the only guys at 160 I would pick over him.

[Idunnoshet]

You guys saying Martinez in his Prime would beat Canelo are Hilarious .
I was a big Martinez fan for a bit and even chose him to beat Cotto .

But Martinez lost to Antonio Margarito at the Prime age of 25 .
Regardless if he started his career late the dude lost to Margarito . Who IMO would lose to both GGG and Canelo .

Did you guys picking him to win watch his fights Pre Paul Williams or Cintron ?

How about when Margarito beat him ( Hopefully no Boxrec needed ) ?

he was still finding his feet, it was at 147 and he says he was drained. he could of had a fight with margs at 154 during his championship stage but he said its pointless.

Probably still be ducking GGG and getting hometown gifts against guys like Martin Murray

ggg was an absolute nobody back when sergio was prime back in 2010. he was on his down slide when he fought murray, even when he fought chavez junior.

He thinks margarito had plaster on his fists when he beat him.

Margarito is Physically bigger than Martinez who you say was " still finding his feet " at 25 years old ?

Then when he had a chance to avenge his first Loss at a more comfortable weight for him he decides it's pointless ?

Like I said . I was a Maravilla fan in his days .
But there's no way he'd beat Canelo or GGG .

[Idunnoshet]

He thinks margarito had plaster on his fists when he beat him.

Nah . He probably didn't know Martinez had his first L to Margarito.
Which is why I put " hopeful Boxrecs not needed ).

It’s understandable. It’s HBO nostalgia. No version of Martinez, including “Prime,” beats Canelo from 2013+, let alone against a Prime Canelo. Cotto had the highest Ring IQ from all of Martinez’s opponents.
