Comments Thread For: Charles Martin: I Want To Be Like The LeBron James of Boxing!

He wants a member of the Martin team to violate his mother?

Kownacki who is somehow top 10 struggled with him. So yeah, this guy is still in game.

Here's the quote, with a bit more context:
- "I want to be like the LeBron James of boxing, in that I'm a total student of the sport."

I guess the Charles Martin haters and LeBron haters aren't very good at actually reading the articles before commenting, eh?

It is good to see that he realizes he has things to learn in the sport, and that he actually WANTS to learn and improve.

In all honesty, in my 30 years of watching boxing I think Martin may be the worst "champion" I have ever seen. He actually seems worse than he was 3 or 4 years ago. And I still think I may be under stating how terrible he is. He punches pretty hard when he wants to sit down on a punch and actually make an effort to throw it with purpose but... Well, that's the best I can say about him.

No wait, actually he makes for a good opponent for other up and coming fighters. Joyce, Ajagba, Dubois, guys like that. So I guess he is a decent b-side to whoever he is fighting, a stepping stone. So there, that's something better I can say about him. I'm always interested in watching him but it's because it seems like he should be better than he is, he just never is.

He won't be...

Would that mean that Lebron can't dribble with his other hand? Or would that mean that Lebron takes Granny shots at the free throw line? The guy isn't good enough to win a Tough Man contest with 16 oz gloves against the drunk skinny white guy from the cheap seats entering the ring with just his jeans on. How Charles Martin ended up with an Alphabet World title belt blows my mind.

He’s definitely been schooled

[Blackclouds]

Charles Martin is a good reason why fighters should sign with Al Haymon, as if he was with another other boxing outfit, he'd already be thrown in the trash by now. If he still wants to be the best (what Lebron represents in basketball to anybody who isn't a dummy) then it shows he's still game and wants it.

Hardly a real Champ as won title due to mediocre opponent injuring himself in fight neither were winning at time.
