    I voted Broner to just to be a pointless, annoying troll.

    Really, I'd say Ward.

      Probably Ward, Floyd has the longevity but Ward is just entering his prime years. I like how Floyd fights a bit more but Ward does some real good stuff that will be tough to overcome.

      Both guys are versatile but given Floyd's age his versatility will start to fade (and is), while Ward will probably gain a trick or two as he gains even more experience.

          It's still Floyd for me, but Ward is making some serious strides

            Ward is the best American fighter atm. With the best resume in the last 2 years as well to prove it.

              Ward isn't even in Floyd's league. Ward's a good fighter, but he'll never be as good as Floyd was/is.

                Probably not but the only ppl that really were in the last 20 yrs was Roy Jones and maybe Finito Lopez. Those guys are rare talents. U don't see em often.

                    I say Ward has surpassed Mayweather. Mayweather carefully chooses his opponents over 39, have a name but on the downside or a name guy but from a smaller wieght class. Mayweather never fought in a tournament where the best 147 pounders and 154 pounder fought with all in their prime.

                      It's between Ward and Mayweather. Ward's Super 6 run and victory over Dawson probably can give him an argument to be 1 and 1a with Floyd at least.

                      A lot depends on the next year and a half.
