GGG vs Sergio Martinez

[mxtali]

So you predicted prime Lara to beat GGG. So what. You would have been wrong. Look at all the loses and draws on Lara's record. If you let very slow, ****** Angulo knock you down then GGG will kill you. Lara never even fought a middleweight and he drew with Molina and Vanes. He got knocked down by Hurd but he beats GGG????? No ***ing way.

Agreed, if Ángulo can drop you twice with a left hook, then GGG is going to punish you

The Sergio that slept'd Williams
vs
The GGG that ruined Brook

Sergio murders him to death.

Prime for prime and Sergio pretty much retires GGG.

sergio

ggg has never decisively beaten a single top middleweight. and it's his own fault for passing on marquee fights against charlo, bjs, andrade, ward, lara, canelo/cotto/brook at catchweights.

The four times he fought a top 5 mw he arguably lost every fight (canelo 1 and 2, jacobs, and dervenchenko).

Sergio was better in big fights (jcc, pwill, pavlik, etc) and had more variety to his game

Da sex in his prime would have been way too slick for Lil G’s stiff ass. Da sex from the Pavlik fight would TKO him.

[kidbazooka]

Sergio frustrates him with his movement all day day.

UD win for Sergio.

People mentioning the Margarito fight !!!

Goofballs.

''Let's take the worst version of Sergio and match him with Prime GGG''

Only one of them is a natural middleweight.

Martinez in his prime was 154

KInda my thinking. people seem to forget that Sergio was already 35 years old by the time he fought Pavlik. By the time he was established as a top MW Maravillas prime was already in the distant past and he was making hard work of guys like Macklin and Barker (who were both good fighters, but no-ones idea of elite).

[Citizen Koba]

I think prime GGG slaughters prime Martinez. Martinez was scared to death to fight him. GGG was never knocked down while Martinez was knocked out by Margarito and defeated by Williams FFS. I can remember if it was Murray or Maklin but one of them beat Martinez in Argertina and got home country robbed. Then the same guy fought GGG and got KOed. GGG by one sided early KO in my opinion.

Murray should have got the nod against Maravilla, but Sergio was 38 damn years old by then. Sergios physical prime was probably agewise in about 2005 - 2008 while he was still at JMW but like GGG he just didn't catch the breaks until late in his career.

A fight between the 2010 Maravilla who beat Pavlik and Williams and a 2013 Golovkin would have been a fantastic match up stylistically though.

[Squ□redCircle34]

Maravilla would’ve put hands on Golovkin and then danced around him then peppered him with big shots and make Ggg reset all night!

Too much speed, too much foot speed, too much quickness, too swift and awkward!

I can see Golovkin maybe dropping him twice but getting pieced up throughout the fight an getting rocked cuz Martinez had real power!

Martinez by unanimous decision!

[daggum]

Martinez !

everyone forgets how slick/sharp he was

I take prime Martinez

and he had more X-factor in big fights

everyone hits Golovkin with their best punch... Martinez was a slick southpaw with great timing

the Paul Williams KO was nasty

Martinez wasn’t slick. His defense was quite bad. His movement was good and when that went it was over. He wasn’t a slip defender like canelo. He just moved out of range but when ggg got on him which he would he doesn’t have the ability to defend himself enough
