As a technique junkie, I've always been more interested in watching Ward because there's generally more diversity, adaption, and sometimes aggression to his game. Floyd is tighter, more fluid, and what he does, he does incredibly well. I've just always been a bit bored by him. No disrespect to his talent. I rarely go back and watch Floyd fights but there's several Ward fights that are classics for me and he just created another one last month.
Neither one is very exciting, but floyd had some good fights early in his career and had boxing 'figured out' by later career -- in the sense of doing just enough to win and taking no risks.
I get nothing at all from watching ward anymore. He's the dirtiest ever. You take away his dirty/borderline illegal **** and there's nothing there, he's average at best in every category.
