    Both.

    Ward is a bigger guy than people think. Not height wise but in terms of density. Ward is solid, and physically very strong.

    does martinez want greatness, or money ?

















    cause if it's both, that seems to be his only option at the moment....everyone else is wrapped up, or too small

    Double standard like a mother****er, he can't fight at his natural weight and fght Ward, who he probably weigh more than as far as walk around weight goes, but it's ok to call out fighters 2 divisions below him

    Too big....Sergio's unorthodox style may be a big problem for Ward even though Andre is a fighter who can adapt. It's not always easy for a well rounded and well schooled fighter to adjust when faced with a awkward style.

    The size would be a big deal because if Sergio cant make Andre respect him early.....Andre will just walk Sergio down without any care for Sergio's power.
     
  8. **** off knobhead Martinez doesn't need to fight Ward, Martinez is a 40 year old former welterweight

    Ward ain't getting no payday

    Ward himself seems to think he's too big.

    yep and plus Ward's style makes his weight an even bigger problem if he wants to push Sergio against the ropes and **** him

    It's surprising Martinez is doing as well as he is at 160 granted his age and being undersized.

    He's too small for the elite at 168. That goes for every other 154 and 160 lb'er out there.

    Best for Martinez, would be to fight GGG, then Geale and then call it a day. Unless he wants a third fight, in which case he should re-match Jr and get the big pay day. (He should do that first.)

    Ward isn't bigger then Chavez, so Martinez shouldn't have a problem with fighting him. If Martinez wants to be seen as one of the best of this era, Ward vs Martinez is the way to do it. I really don't see Floyd fighting Martinez, so Martinez needs to step up to the next best thing, which is Ward right now.

    Both. A fight with him also isn't as lucrative as Chavez.

    Not worth the risk.
