    This.

    I can see Martinez beating some of the lesser Super Middleweights, but not Ward.

    Ward neutralizes all of the strategies Martinez will try to imply just like Martinez's last opponent largely did.

    This fight is not happening, Martinez is not moving up in weight he and debella have already let this be known. beside ward is too big, too strong and ward's style is a physical style which is bad for Martinez.. Unless Martinez want to be a victim, this fight is not going to happen.

    Sergio wins by stoppage. Ward is very skilled, but is being overrated at the moment.

    If Ward can go down to 160 plus then it is a very good fight with excellent fighters on their own peaks but the match of styles may favour highly Ward in my opinion.

    Martinez is a blown-up JMW -at best. Ward is destined for LHW. This fight would be a farce.

    Ward should fight Hopkins.

    I don't see how Sergio would be at all effective against Ward. I really doubt his power at 168 would be as effective, and Ward's defense and chin are vey good anyways. Plus we seen with Barker, how you can smoother Martinez and it takes away alot of his offense, which is Wards specialty.

    This was just Sergio talking to hype himself up, no way he takes this fight, considering there won't be that much money behind it relative to other fights. I think Sergio may drop down to 154.

    I'd be surprised if this fight happens and if it does Ward should be a big favorite. Martinez and Ward both have options at their own weights and Martinez probably doesn't need to move up in weight unless the offer was big and I'm not sure a fight with Ward would pay him much more than he gets by staying at 160.

    What this man said.

    I like Serge, but I think 160 is his effective limit. Wouldn't give him much of a chance at all if this fight were to go down.

    Would be a great challenge for Sergio, but not one I think he'll walk away as the victor... Therefore it probably won't happen.
