True or False Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Andre Ward are the world's 2 best fighters?

[_original_]

Floyd of coarse.


I'm still not sure about Ward, I know I'll get a flack for this, but the dude is just beating up (very good) European fighters. Yes, his resume is stacking up, but I want to see him how he does against guys like Dawson, Dirrell, Pascal, Cloud, hell even Bute. If he defeats Dawson with ease I will be completely sold on him, just right now I think people are overrating the hell out of him.

Ward is half of a prime Hopkins.

The guys Ward has beat have beaten them. Cloud is in another weight division and lost to a Euro fighter in Campillo anyway.

It doesn't matter where you're from, if you're good you're good.

Not disagreeing and FMJ/Ward are two of the best at it, I was just addressing the OP.



you've been around long enough to know the difference between someone who comes to fight and someone who does not

im assuming your idae of fighting is plodding forward and just throwing punches with no regard to defense.cause i have NEVER seen Ward nor Floyd not come to fight cause they do it everytime and WIN!!!!

[revs1227]

pure boxers yes
a toss up between them marquez and bradley

The likes of Gatti, Maidana, Katsidis...these guys are fighters, they come to fight. Floyd is a boxer, ditto for Ward.

The term fighters can't really be limited to boxing anyway, it's tedious semantics to a degree but the OP should have said "two best boxers".

[revs1227]

i try to explian this to people all the time FLOYD MAYWEATHER IS NOT THE BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORLD !!!! HE IS BY FAR THE HARDEST TO BEAT

which mean on any given night manny will out preform him but see the hatton /cotto /dlh fights

floyd ,ward,bradley, are damn near impossible to get a W against based on their styles

i was shocked with how well pac did against bradley i honestly thought he would win clearly agianst pac
too bad the judges didnt see pac wining he deserves alotta credit for that fight
he wont get it untill bradley dismantles his next opponent which he will trust me

I don't think it's right to put Bradley in alongside Mayweather and Ward style-wise, Bradley is much easier to hit than those two.

So How is Floyd not the best if he is impossible to beat?
