How would this go down. Ward, although operating at the higher weight isn't that much bigger than Martinez (only 2'') and Martinez has a 4'' bigger reach than Ward. It would make for a good superfight and considering people are clamoring for Pacquiao or Mayweather to jump up and fight Martinez then this fight should be equally appetizing.
one of the biggest challenges a fighter faces when moving up in weight is the risk of experiencing power they can't handle and to be honest ward isn't that big a puncher, sergio can outbox him with his superior speed
and I argue that Martinez is too slippery and slick to let himself get out muscled I see him jumping in and out winning the exchanges with his speed
On paper its a genuine super fight In reality , what would the weight difference do to Martinez ??? one would think with the skill set Ward has , plus a weight / size advantage its hard to see anything but a Ward shut out
Ward would smoother Martinez's offense sort of like Barker did, except that Ward has supreme in fighting. Ward would be so much stronger, the way he pushed around guys like Froch, Abraham, Bika, Martinez would just get bullied for as long as it lasted. Bad fight.
