Prime for prime who wins in a fight between golovkin and martinez?

[pepzz]

Awesome fight but I would bet on Marravilla to box ggg ears off.

Is GGG even better than Pavlik?

Yes. Pavlik was a good puncher but thats it. Old man Hopkins showed how basic and one dimensional he was.

Martinez. He was a marvelous boxer in his prime. He's memorable with some of the good fighters of his time.

Of course.

Pavlik was too basic and when he faced Martínez he had problems with the beer and drugs

[Chrismart]

I like both guys. I was a big Martinez fan back in the day.

I don't like how he holds his hands down low in this fight though. He can be hit, and I think GGG stops him as the fight goes on and he catches up on him.

I think ggg a couple years before Canelo would get him in a tough fight.The fresh ggg had more spring in his step and more snap in his punches and would be able to overcome a prime Martinez.Sooner or later martinez would start trading with him.

I remember Martinez wanting mayweather to step up as well as ggg.Come to think of it pretty much every welterweight from Duran Benitez Leonard Starling Curry De la whora Trinidad ect moved up to fight a dangerous middleweight champ champ except mayweather just an observation.

Martínez is too overrated

He never fought with a guy with skills, Smart, counter skills and power

Pavlik was too Big and strong but básic and wild

Williams was good in 147 because his height, but in 154 and 160 he did not anything good and he was schooled by Lara

GGG destroys prime Martínez

The punches that GGG landed on Nelo would K.O brutally Martínez

there isn't an accurate word in that post

wow, how history gets re-written after only a few short years

after the Taylor fights..... Pavlik at 160, was viewed very similar to Kovalev at 175 before Ward

he was a killer..... a MURDEROUS puncher, who stretched everyone he fought

YES, that word was definitely used to describe Kelly Pavlik

he beat the Taylor who beat Hopkins TWICE

Golovkin has never done anything like that

I'm not sure he could have beaten Pavlik either

[aboutfkntime]

Yes. Pavlik was a good puncher but thats it. Old man Hopkins showed how basic and one dimensional he was.

but Taylor, the guy who beat Hopkins TWICE..... could not "show how basic..."?

I wonder if that outcome had anything to do with Hopkins ?
