    Of course not.

    No one really expects Martinez to hit 154 after 7 Middleweight fights but Ward is going to comfortably hit 160 after 7 years?

    Jokes.

      Ward is simply too big and too good. I believe Ward said what he did simply out of pride and frustration. He knows Floyd would never fight him. I also think Floyd should apologize but we know that will never happen either.
      It is possible Zab and Floyd were tight then had a falling out but are on decent terms now.

      Point blank I think Ward is saying this is because there will be no repercussions, and it is getting his name out there. It is just smart business, it is also possible that this is all a work and the are laughing talking on the phone each night because it all seems very staged.

        Neither did I. This thread has claimed a few posters I believed were credible.

          Didn't Floyd once say that he was willing to go up to 160 to fight Sergio Martinez??

            but is a Ward fight going to be a Jr MW? Ward wouldn't give Dawson 3 pounds and he expects Floyd to give him at least 6 and more likely 9 pounds.

            why you even arguing even Ward realized how ****** he sounded and deleted that tweet

              Im still stuck on Marquez fighting Mayweather at 147 being some kind of proof that Floyd-Ward at 160 is a legit fight.

              But but but Boner jumped 2 divisions to fight Paulie.

                  I have zero interest in watching a chubby Floyd and a drained Ward "settle their score".
                  Floyd will not be "chubby", he'll come in at 155 at the least in the weigh in.

                  Ward, however, could be seriously weight drained.

                  Which is why I wouldn't even see this as a cherrypick for Ward. Like I said before, Ward would be Dead on Arrival, while Floyd would put on a couple more pounds of muscle than he did for Cotto and be good.

                  If any of you are concerned about this, it shouldn't be for Floyd. How many times has history shown us the guy that goes down is the one who's trouble, not the other way around? Floyd won't be the one starving himself and training to lose weight. Remember that. As much water weight Ward wants to put on fight night, it will not be healthy weight.

                    That if Marquez could come up from 135 and fight a WW version of Floyd, without even having a pit stop at 140, then Floyd, the little welterweight, who has two fights at 154 can borrow Marquez's balls and go up to 160 to fight Andre Ward.

                      He can fight at Jr Middleweight, that does not make him a natural Jr Middleweight.
                      When he wins a belt two times at Jr middle, it makes him a two time Jr middleweight champion. If he can't hang with the big boys, he shouldn't go into their rooms flapping his lips.
