Explain why Sergio Martinez vs Andre Ward at 160 doesnt make sense?

Originally posted by nachorjj View PostYes, my point is that Martinez calls out Mayweather, but Mayweather is proportionally smaller than Martinez it is with respect to Ward
Martinez is also older than Mayweather, while Ward is just entering his physical prime. Ward may very well be just as skilled as Mayweather, but bigger and younger.
Martinez has even offered a catchweight as low as 150 for Mayweather (tons at his age), while Ward mentioned going down just four pounds once from what I can recall despite the fact he is much younger than Martinez.
Martinez-Ward would be a big fight, but not nearly as big as Martinez-Mayweather, so there is that aspect of it too.

Martinez if he was truly great would move up 1 division and fight Ward at 168 before Ward leaves the division.
I doubt it happens though.
I think Martinez's camp is scared of Andre Ward.

Martinez's people say that he is a small middleweight and they are right. They say that if I go down to 160 then a fight could happen but I don't think that is possible."

This fight shouldn't be made. Both men would be way out of their comfort zones. I think Martinez has the skills to beat a drained Ward at 160. Ward has the size advantage to beat a blown up Martinez at 168. Personally, after Martinez's home coming against Murray (won't be easy) I'd like to see him unify against one of the other champions, whoop Chavez again and then retire as one of the p4p best.

the only reason I favor martinez over floyd is the size advantage, he doesn't have that against ward which is why ward easily wins that fight

Originally posted by joesaiditstrue View Postagreed, ward fights very similar to floyd mayweather. their styles vary slightly but their ring IQ is on par with one another

Ward is at SMW and has mentioned a move up to LHW
how the hell is he gonna drop to MW?
and why would he anyway? he doesn't need Martinez
he has a better resume than him and is probably better known
