I personally wouldn't give it to anyone. Don't think anyone deserves it really compared to former decades . Mayweather probably the front runner and he only fought for half the decade lol.

He's going to win it.
Floyd beat Canelo, who was at the time extremely underrated
The second best fighter in the world, top 30 ATG, 5 lineal championship 8 division champion, Pacquiao.
And past prime but still dangerous shane mosley.
On top of two wins over a very dangerous Maidana
Pacquiao win > Kovalev
Canelo win > Dawson

The Pac and Canelo fights are meh, one was green and drained while the other had already been Ko'd by Marquez.
Dawson was also drained(like Canelo) but the Supersix win was pretty damn great and regardless of how fast they stopped the Kovalev fight he was beating his ass and came on strong after being dropped in the first fight.
Dawson (drained but prime) > Canelo (Drained and green)
Regardless they might give it to Floyd but I would pick Ward.
Edit*** No way Pac was #2 P4P before the Mayweather fight.

Canelo was always underrated. I'm guulty of underrating him myself. It's only now i'm starting to realize what a great fighter he is.

When Floyd fought him all the canelo strengths were there. His explosiveness, his speed, his power, his strength, his heart and his boxing ability and intelligence.
Floyd was just smarter.

In boxing once you show an ounce of weakness your credibility goes out the window.
The people want a champion with balls of stone. AJ has already shown he's soft.

I give Floyd credit for being smart, he did end up draining him, he didn't drain Cotto or Mcgregor at 154 but he knew that even a green Canelo is a hard puncher.
You can call it a good win because Canelo has improved and has now become a top fighter but there's no way imo that you can say he wasn't green or he's the same prime fighter he is now 5 years later.
