Charles Martin barely broke a sweat before being crowned the new IBF Heavyweight champion on Saturday night. That crappy ending was not his fault, but from what he showed it certainly doesn’t seem like his title-time will last long if he gets his wish of trying to unify the titles.

Deontay Wilder, Alexander Povetkin and Tyson Fury all easily beat Martin right now.

If Martin goes on a PBC tour in 2016 against the likes of Gerald Washington, Travis Kauffman or Chris Arreola, he could enjoy a year as champ. But if they throw him in against any of the big boys it’ll be a short-lived title reign.
