Martinez doesn't. He fights an unorthodox style that gives his opponents trouble. The same way a guy like Hamed fought very unconventional, but it was effective. |

In as far as I can remember, Taylor never stopped a top fighter.
I highly doubt Martinez would have been his first. I think making a prediction that Taylor stops Martinez is a bit of a stretch based on Taylor's inability to stop anyone of note at 160. |

Taylor was an interesting case...he was most effective when he wasn't worried about technique.
When he had Pat Burns who basically just sent him in there and had him us his athleticism, he was much better than when he had Manny Steward having him think, setting traps and tightening up his skillset. |

Manny fucked him up. He did more damage to Taylor's career than any opponent that JT ever faced.

Yeah.
Taylor isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, so the moment Manny had him trying to think and fight, he basically just locked up in there. Not every trainer works with every fighter. |

Taylor had a very solid jab..but does Martinez not have a goodmjab that finds the target as well??
Martinez is more skilled of the two & has backed it up more & better. Just cuz Martinez has bit had a win/performance since Williams (hard to do) or Pavlik but that's because he hasn't had the sane opp. Did he really look so bad or ordinary against Jr??? He won 34 minties or so out of the 36 minutes or the fight! |

I think Taylor. His a huge middle, whereas Martinez is not. Taylor also have the length and jab to take away Martinez best asset, his athletacism.

Besides, Taylor relied more on athleticism in there; he wasn't like he was an inside fighter using his size to wear down his opponents. |
