    After having Dawson come down in weight, he really should prove that he is trying to have the best possible match ups come alive. Show us how it's really done!
    Go down to Middleweight and fight Martinez! P4P#3 vs P4P#4

    Be the "bigger" man and give away a few things. Come to Vegas, not Oakland, and drop the weight!

    You can do it! For us, fans!

    I tend to agree with this one. ward and martinez, battle of the top 3 and 4 Pound for pound boxers...both are slick although ward utilizes boxing ability while martinez relies mostly on his athleticism...this fight would make sense.......

    Ward will never go down to 160, and neither will he ever leave Oakland (no hate, just stating the facts)

    I'm pretty sure Ward could make 160 without too much trouble.

    The fight would be good if it happened at 160.

    At 168, Sergio will be dominated because he is already a small 160er (really a true 154er).

    So you want him to perhaps somewhat drain himself to make a good fight?
    Thats how you see boxing

    It's not happening. Ward beats Martinez in Mayweather - Judah fashion anyway.

    Martinez would move up to 168 IF it would be a huge payday, but out of he and ward, it's Sergio who is the bigger draw. Mexicutioning is the way to go, he'll probably try for Canelo now.

    winner goes to p4p #1 but Ward can't make MW comfortably so it'll be at 160 and in Oakland lol

    The MW limit is 166 pounds in Oakland.

    Ward won't go down and Martinez won't go up.

    Ward don't need the MW belt.
    (But the Pay is prob better?)

    Andre's best bet would be to call out Sergio & see what happens.
    But I doubt this would be a fight that could be made.

    Too much money in a rematch with Chavez.

    Ward is drained at 160. He is already very slim at 168. 8 more pounds is a no no. He weighed about 178 for his fight with Froch.
