Before i say all this, i don't dislike Martinez. Hes great to watch, and i think he's top 3 P4P and the best middleweight in the world without a doubt. I'm just wondering why he gets close to zero criticism
If his name was mayweather/pacquiao - this is how his last 3 fights would be broken down:
Paul Williams (KO2) - Paul Williams was coming off a very bad showing against Kermit Cintron where he got rocked and didn't do anywhere near enough to win those 4 rounds. PWill was also never really a middleweight - didn't have the chin, was just very tall.
Kelly Pavlik (UD) - 1 dimensional, slow, flat footed. ALREADY been exposed by B-Hop and had alcohol problems and had a hand infection. And despite this Pavlik won a few rounds and was coming back into the fight before Martinez came on in the late rounds
Paul Williams (L) - Lost to PWill. Got outworked
... and now he's rumoured to be fighting Lee/Zbik next year
