isn't the size difference too much the other way too. ward is a big super middleweight. sergio really is a small middleweight. he's only had two fights at middleweight and most of his career was at 154 and 147. ward has fought his whole career at 168 and has talked before about moving to 175.
Well the thing is boxing fans want Pac or Floyd to fight Martinez at 160 and saying they want no piece of him. Well rightfully so they want no piece of Sergio because of the combination of skills and size. So what about Martinez fighting Ward then? And mind you both Pac and Floyd had the majority of their fights below 140. But yet both of them should fight Martinez at 160? So why is it that people keep on wanting Pac and Floyd to keep on moving up and fighting? How about Martinez doing it and going up? So I brought up Ward, but yet it's said Ward is too big and skilled. Well doesn't the same apply to Pac and Floyd fighting Martinez?
Fans want Martinez to fight PBF or PAC at 154. I would never argue PBF or Pac should fight Martinez at 160. That is ridiculous. However, Pac fought Margarito for a junior middleweight belt and PBF fought Oscar at 154. Fighting at 154 is not unrealistic especially for Floyd, but also for Pac, because they each fought at 154 before.

Ward is too big and skilled. Ward has never fought below 168. He is a natural super middleweight. Martinez only very recently jumped to 160, he is more of a junior middleweight/middleweight. Pac was able to handle fighting Margarito at 150 for a 154 belt and Floyd handled fighting Oscar at 154. They wouldn't have to go to a weight they hadn't fought at before whereas you are asking Martinez to go to a weight he has never fought at before. Do you see the difference? If we were talking about Martinez fighting them at 160, I would agree with you.
