Especially Jr considering he's already earning double the paydays Ward is.

And that fight wouldn't be anywhere near Oakland, thats for sure

Ward vs the winner of the JC Jr - Martinez fight would be big

Absolutely but as I said previously:

1. I really don't see Junior winning; to me, the fight is a mismatch. I think the most likely outcome is the fight gets stopped in the late rounds.

2. Martinez is a natural 154 pounder. He's very small for middleweight and would be completely disadvantaged at anything over 160. And I don't see Ward going down to 160. Even a catchweight of 164 would be a big net disadvantage to Martinez.

3. But if Junior is way better than I give him credit for and actually beats Martinez (most likely as a gift from Jose Sulaiman), then by all means, Ward-Junior at 168 is the biggest fight you could make. Junior would even have a size advantage.
