I tried not to let Mayweather's like-ability or Ward's abrasiveness influence me.

[Pugilistic]

Ward like Floyd is extemely smart and versatile.

They can both fight anyway they want whether it be on the outside boxing, on the inside, out of clinches, etc.

I think Floyd has the better ability though. He's sharper with his work and get's hit less.

Ward compares better with Hopkins stylistically.

The fact you can actually compare Ward to Floyd shows how much ability Ward has and how great he will be once his career is over.
