    What do you think of Charles Martin now?

    I realize Gerald Washington is no longer in his prime but, no way was I picking Martin to KO him like that. And he was landing the biggest shots prior to the KO too.

    Does this change your opinion about him at all? Is he relevant in the HW picture?

    My opinion on him is the exact same as it was prior to the fight. I expected him to KO Washington.

    I like Gerald, but his defense isn't up to par, and he has terrible recovery time when he does get chinned.

        I picked him to KO Washington in that very round so my opinion of him hasn’t changed. He’s a middle of the pack journeyman who might pull off an upset if someone has an off night. Would make for a great Wilder opponent if he comes to his senses and leaves this Fury business alone.

          Martin is not a bad fighterbut he has some strong events that make him look bad....

          The manner he won the title and how he lost it in 2 rounds to Joshua.

          He would give anyone outside of the top 3 a tough fight. He’s not a talented fighter but he’s not a bum either, he could be a top 15 guy with a few more wins.

            Martin VS Whyte or Ortiz would be nice. Probably loses but would be fun scraps.

              Not relevant.

              Needs to beat boxers of a higher level and standing than Washington to get back in the mix for a title. I personally don't think he is anywhere near good enough.

              As said above, feed him to Wilder if he wants a nice confidence booster.

                    Still probably the worst HW champion of all time.

                    A nice guy though, I met him during Canelo-GGG 2 fight week, he was cool.
