Beautiful idea for a matchup. Ward is future P4P #1. Martinez is future victim #26. There is just something about SOG and what he brings to the table, I don't see Martinez giving him much issues. Making a weird catchweight could pose bigger issues. Would love to see Ward vs Cloud someday. Please!!!

I would lobe to see the fight.
164 or 165 sounds about right.
Speeds close.
I got Sergio #3 P4P
Ward #4
I would favor Ward.

Rougher fight for Ward than people would think. Sergio is a much better fighter than Froch. He hasnt faced anyone like Martinez at 168. Serg vs Ward? I'll take it!! Ward by close decision with both of they tired as hell in the end. 115-113

Wow! LOVE this fight. Give me this, Marquez-Bradley, and Pac-May and I will call 2012 the best ever.

Where the fuk did this come from? I thought he was never fighting above 160 ever? Him and his promoters wouldn't shut up about it.
If he can't get a catchweight with Ward, fight Bute then because he already said he's open to a 166 catchweight and it'd be a huge fight at the Bell Center.

Andre Ward has never fought below 160.
The size difference warrants a catch-weight.
Star power really has nothing to do with it.
Catch-weight's have been around for a long time
Perfectly said. You said it for me.

That catchweight would have to be very low for Martinez to have a chance. Ward will make Martinez look terrible if he isn't drained.

I don't mind catchweights THAT much. If a fighter gets suckered into it, that's his problem.
Sergio has exercised his mouth trying to coax smaller fighters out of their comfort zone into fighting him.
I hope I never read a post about him calling X smaller fighter coward because said fighter won't fight him.

Originally posted by Dominicano Soy View PostWard's inside game, body punching, with Martinez already having stamina issues...I could definitely see Ward stopping him. Maybe Martinez makes it a bit competitive, though I doubt that. I wish he would fight at 154 pounds, that way HBO can contemplate the possibility of him facing Cotto or Floyd, those match ups seem less viable when he's fighting at MW. Lara would have been a great opponent. Well I'm going off topic now...
