Comments Thread For: Charles Martin Hopes For July Final Eliminator To Get Anthony Joshua

[JakeTheBoxer]

As bad as Martin is, you got to respect him as he really tried to climb the rankings back for a mandatory shot.

He is not even that bad. he is clearly top 20, one good win away from being top 10.

That's fair. Hunter is a genuine top-10 fighter. Hunter wins that fight

No need for Usyk to take it so it would leave Hunter-Martin. Yes, Hunter wins that for sure.

Martin should be better than he fights. Has power, but has bad footwork and is tentative. Needs a real trainer.

[SUBZER0ED]

Joshua stopped him in two the first time. IF he can win an eliminator and get a rematch, much of the same will happen again.

Martin lost a close 10 round decision to Kownacki. Martin came on in the 2nd half & if it was a 12 rounder it may have had a different finish but that is just speculation on my part. He took all of Kownacki’s best punches & was still landing big punches himself. That was the first legit performance I saw of Martin. Washington isn’t no world beater but he has a few decent wins & has experience against good opposition. Martin took him out. That was his first legit win. In my opinion Martin is finally showing he wasn’t just a lottery winner with the paydays he got from Glazkov & Joshua. He is starting to show he belongs in the top 20. Hunter is a solid fighter & I would certainly look forward to that fight. I have to favour Hunter but by no means is that money in the bank. Martin has size, a good chin, some pop & he is a southpaw. That is a decent tool box to work with.

Couldn't agree with you more on every point. I thought Martin was on verge of stopping Kownacki in that fight if given those two additional rounds.

He's a big, powerful southpaw and looks to have a decent chin. I think the bright lights of the big fight put him like a deer in the headlights against AJ.

Hunter one of my favorite fighter in division (along with Del Boy). I give him the edge but it's no gimme against The Prince.

Martin is dreaming again...he better get in line and wait....what a bull**** story.....matchroom will not make this fight

[TyrantT316]

Charles Martin and Amir Khan should go out for drinks.

[mawoodhouse]

Martin vs Helenius makes sense next. Helenius just beat the guy that Martin lost to (albeit close decision) and Martin just beat the guy that Koed Helenius....this fight seems like a good crossroads fight for both.

Wouldn't want to see a rematch.
