What about his bodywork?I'm newer to boxing so I just saw his fight with JCCj for the first time and thought he looked awesome, especially his foot work.
What about his bodywork?
Naked Hopkins.

Followed by.... ...*fwap fwap *..?
His knees were gone by the Cotto fight. In their primes Cotto probably still wins but not by the same kind of blowout. I always hate when a fighter fights with his hands down but he was pretty effective at it.Good fighter and a good guy but become overrated during his P4P run.
It was always clear that certain elite opposition would beat him and his wins over Barker, Dzinzy and Macklin are all wins against C/B level fighters - serious lack of P4P level wins considering he was ranked #3 for a while.
Martin Murray was a legit defense for him and one I thought he lost, especially if the knockdown was counted correctly.
He did also lose one of the fights to Williams, people tend to forget that when looking at his resume. Pavlik was a good win, shame how it ended.
He was always a level above Chavez and I'm glad he won that one, proved he was the better fighter over 12 rounds and he fought with real balls in the last round.
Cotto destroyed him though and he always would have. Martinez defense was effective against fighters with limited offense but against a guy like Cotto who feints and sets up power shots from the jab, can lead with the hook, can go to the body etc he didn't really have a chance.
Bodywork was a joke. I'm a massive sexy fan. My favorite was all of them. Watch pwill1 and pwill2 if you're new to him. And after a shower check out some more, haha.He definitely looked good all around but I especially liked the way he moved. He was never standing still but wasn't just running back either. It made him too hard to box with.
What are his best fights to check out?
I actually downloaded the whole event and put it on my tablet and watched it on a plane so I was pretty tired and my focus wasn't great. Still I liked the way he moved and his boxing strategy.Bodywork was a joke. I'm a massive sexy fan. My favorite was all of them. Watch pwill1 and pwill2 if you're new to him.
