    Because he had a long layoff.

    Floyd fought the number 2 guy in marquez in his first fight back why did ward want 4 easy fights before a big fight?

    Marquez was never the number 2 guy

    Floyd cherrypicked him by dragging him up 3 divisions

    Here's the reason Ward wanted 2 tune ups - he wanted to earn as much money as he could from boxing without having to face the Kovalevs and Beterbievs of the world

    Those two "tune ups" will have made him a very rich man now, so good luck Sergei on that rematch clause, let alone Artur

    He wouldn't have had the layoff and needed the tuneups, if he wasn't such a dumb c*nt, you dumb c*nt.
    It does make a difference.

    So if he caused the layoff, he doesn't need a tune up fight? I don't understand...lol

    Lol exactly. A layoff is a layoff, didn't know the cause of the layoff had any bearings on it's effect.
