    Ward is a great fighter but he's not on PBF's level IMO and if they were the same weight and prime vs prime I see Floyd outfoxing him.

    I don't fancy Ward's chances against RJJ at 168 prime for prime either, but I personally don't think anyone in the history of boxing beats RJJ at 168 prime for prime.

    I think ward gives him a really tough fight, mostly because he's fast enough with his feet and elusiveness to make it hard for Roy to land, and he fights more within himself, we saw how Roy fought better opposition, and he had more trouble then say Mayweather because he wasn't the type of guy that really controlled distance, he lured guys in or try to overwhelm them with his speed. I don't think those tactics would work against Ward that well especially when you watch RJJ-Griffin I. That fight is a perfect example of a far more limited guy than Ward with a similar style giving RJJ a ton of trouble. I think I would favor RJJ, but its not a no brainer in his favor. This is the second best 168 IMO ever. He didn't have that much trouble with Bika I'm not sure what fight people were seeing... Calzaghe had just as much if not more trouble with Bika.
