Ward is five years into his professional career and he just beat the #1 fighter in his division and won his first world title.
When Martinez was five years into his pro career he was fighting club fighters in Spain. Yet now, six years later, Martinez is a titlist and arguably just beat one of the top p4p fighters in the world.
If Martinez can accomplish what he has in the second half of his career, how can you say that Ward doesn't have an equal or greater upside, given how his career has progressed compared to Martinez' early years. Ward could easily be a top p4p fighter in two or three years time, much less 12 years into his career, where Martinez currently is.
Sorry to disagree but I just don't see much improvement where all you do is throw a quick combo, hold, butt, move, pop shot, hold, move, and butt a little more to win fights. Yeah I might be bias, I dislike Ward because of style.
