Simple question for you guys on the forum: Do you think that Boxingscene will finally admit that Floyd is the number one p4p fighter in the world? Last year it seemed as if the staff writers did all in their power to make sure that he remained at number 2. They placed Manny Pacquiao as the number one fighter in the world despite having a questionable win over Juan Manuel Marquez in their third fight and an official loss to Bradley last June (although Manny actually won that fight).
Now that Manny has been vanquished without question it seemed like they searched out for a new p4p king as long as it was anybody besides Floyd. I see the argument for placing Ward in the top five but I don't see how he's number one. Mayweather has nearly as many title fights as Ward has total fights. He's been undefeated longer and has won championships in more weightclasses. He's now a lineal champ in two weight divisions after thoroughly outclassing the light middleweight champ.
Ward has done nothing this year while Floyd has shown he can still dominate the opposition even at the age of 36. So what do you think guys? Is Ward still number one or do the writers at BS finally need to admit that Floyd is still king?
