For Sandor Martin, the super lightweight division is one of the most exciting for the fans because of the huge swathes of talent in the weight class, but there is one in particular that for him is the strongest player.
The 29-year-old is a veteran of the division and holds the European super lightweight belt, and also won the WBA International super lightweight belt in April this year against Jose Felix.
After Josh Taylor retained his four belts against Jack Catterall earlier in the year he had been expected to move up to welterweight but controversy over the validity of the win, plus Taylor’s pride, has seen the Scot remain at 140lbs and vacate just two of his straps, with Alberto Puello and Regis Prograis the other champions.
Speaking to DAZN, Martin ranked Taylor ahead of Prograis in his own appraisal.
"Josh Taylor is the one who deserves the most respect of all because he fought everyone and beat everyone, so for me he is the number one in the division,” he said.
“The second is Prograis, he has a tremendous attitude when he steps in the ring, shows temperance, and is a very calm person in demanding moments. It's a competitive and tough division, but I'm fixed on my goals... Many did not imagine a Spaniard headlining Madison Square Garden and look what happened. I'm ready to continue surprising.”
