    Floyd, for 2 reasons, though it is really close:

    1) Never been beaten or really hit that much. Wlad has.
    2) Wlad fights at heavyweight. 1 punch can end or change a fight, it's not really the same at WW.

        Wlad is in his prime, Floyd is not.

        That's why I would go with Wlad, but in HW it's more likely that one punch turns things around.

        And there are fighters who would be favorites against Floyd (GGG or even old Martinez), there are none against Wlad.

          It's Wlad clearly, against Floyd you can bet on a punchers' chance although most likely that ain't happening. It's the same case with Wlad but before you can even touch Wlad you gotta make sure you can reach him, Wlad will control you by leaving his left hand out, at times pushing with it as well, those jabs and straight right hands are devastating. Then you gotta worry about Wlad leaning on you and clinching.

              Dude those are two fighters two weights above him.

              Which Welterweight has a better chance at Floyd than a Fury, Povetkin, Pulev's chances against Wlad? It's pretty tight because they are both close to zero.

                Wlad has shown not to have the greatest chin and both fighters are not going to get out boxed right now. They will have to be stopped. Therefor, I say Floyd is the toughest to beat right now, but both are just as dominant.

                  A simpler way to put it, Ortiz, Guerrero (For a decent portion) and Cotto had Mayweather right where they wanted him, it's the fact that they couldn't capitalize, if you can put Wlad against the ropes, that in itself is a rarity, add in that state in which the HW division is in and you have your answer.

                    GGG said he can fight at 154lb, or Martinez-Floyd was rumored for some time.
                    I doubt that either of these would ever happen but...
                    My point is that there is no boxer on the planet who would be favorite against Wlad, not true for Floyd.

                    If you count only Welterweights then it's probably Floyd as it's more likely one punch affects the outcome of fight in HW.
