Here is a picture of Froch (The man who fought Ward @SMW) and Haye (220lb heavyweight) just to get some perspective.

I shall address your points, as ever, in order. Floyd might have fought at 154 before but it doesn't make it his natural weight class.

The man fights for a living, he is far from a *****.

Soon came out with excuses about his health when pushed to fight Manny. He's ducked the biggest challenges of his career since '07.

The dude is a *****.

I HAVE NEVER SAID THAT MAYWEATHER WILL FIGHT WARD
Firstly you said this wouldnt be a blockbuster fight,maybe not in a oscar/floyd huge ticket seller as ward isnt ppv friendly but this fight would grip hardcore and casual alike i have no doubt.
Next you say when has a welter ever jumped to super middle and then say floyd came in at 151 in his last fight,clearly not in the welter limit then.His next mooted next fight is against a big light middle in saul alvarez so he is obviously happy at the higher weight.

Then you say a stone is a massive difference,well yes of course but i dont expect them to weigh in a stone apart.Much more likely to fight at 160,which ironically ward has said in the last month he will come down to to fight floyd.Floyd will not go to 160 no but he could make the weigh in difference only a few pounds.

I know that their fight night weights would be hugely different but there are vast differences in every division under the current system and fighters in the wrong division because of bad nutritional advice/training or monetary reasons.

I know at elite level weight is a massive factor which is why we saw dawson meekly surrender to wards previously unheralded power,that is why this match up is hugely unlikely but is not impossible like you clearly believe.
Rules and records are altered all the time by people who are exceptional(which floyd clearly thinks he is)There are many examples of this although for some reason you say not to mention roy jones or pacquiao.
I dont know if anyone has ever jumped from welter to super middle probaly not but then the division is relatively young and i said floyd could go up 1 division and ward down one divsion(not exactly revolutionary concept)
But boxers with history of flying through the weights is commonplace,to just go with the modern era how about manny pacquiao going from fly to light middle a phenomenal feat,sugar ray leonard went from welter through to light heavy in a number of fights,thomas hearns did the same then how about macho camacho,james toney or oscar de la hoya.Recently juan manual marquez has jumped around from lightweight to welter as is the plan for adrien broner,gamboa was planning a 2 weight jump to land a big fight and still might.

Floyd mayweather stands 5 8 against wards 6 0 not exactly insurmountable as you will see match ups every week with these kind of height differences,there are taller lightweights about than some super middles does that mean they shouldnt fight in their respective weight division that their too tall.

Floyds frame and liking to have the cards stacked in his favour mean this fight is unlikely but calling me insane and saying i dont know anything about boxing is insulting

There's absolutely no chance that Floyd will fight Ward. They are in totally different weight classes. Ward is 168lb fighter who will go upwards, not down. And Floyd is a small 147lb fighter who will sometimes go up to 154. It's just a silly thing to suggest, really, and it does make you sound like you know nothing about boxing.
