    I think we all agree Floyd is the number one fighter on the planet and would dominate Manny if they fought.

    But most of us think Floyd woul never move up to 154 to face Martinez because Martinez is simply too much of a risk. Very tough fight for Floyd imo.

    But at the same time we all seem to think Ward would beat Martinez easily yet he's not rated as high as either.

    It's not just about size either. Floyd won a legitimate title at 154 whilst Martinez started out at 147. But I still think Martinez is a really tough fight for Floyd.

    But I think if Ward and Martinez were the same size Ward would school him. He's too easy to hit.
    To be clear, Ward is now ranked as one of the top p4p guys. He just won the Sports Illustrated Boxer of the Year and in most rankings, he has pushed top 5 p4p.

    The only thing I disagree with in regards to Ward/Martinez is that I'm still not convinced of Ward's chin. That is the only question mark about him at this point (it is for Bute too to be fair). We know Ward is a special boxer and we know Ward is physically strong. We also know Ward is not a big puncher. Could Ward handle being hit by Martinez in a mythical p4p fight? Maybe. But, that is the only question mark in my opinion.
